This week we’re going to just talk about Jupiter, and then next week, we’re going to cover its moons.
The rest of summer is PERFECT for the amateur and beginner observer! Saturn and Jupiter are visible all night, Venus is easy to spot in the morning, Mars and Mercury offer a challenge for the early risers and the annual Perseid meteor shower is coming up August 12th.
Join us today while we take a look at the new origin story for an oddball family of meteorites. Yes, like a comic book hero, the parent (body) is no more.
Welcome June brings us all the naked-eye planets at some points in the month, Venus’s introduction to the morning with the Moon, and mornings with four naked-eye planets visible.
Ever wonder what’s going to happen to the outer planets of our solar system when the Sun turns into a red giant star? Will they survive or will the get flung out into space? Will Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune evaporate?
Three planets still hanging out in the early mornings, an early month unusual conjunction, and a meteor shower make this time of socially distancing ourselves a great time to get outside at night!
This week news: Venus at greatest elongation. Jupiter/Mars conjunction. Heat on mercury helps it make it ice. Discussion: Modeling coronal mass ejection
A planet that orbits 2 stars. And it was found by a High School kid! more about it on #weeklyspacehangout at #365DaysOfAstro
