December ends the year on a high note, providing us glimpses of all the planets, the major ones being conveniently visible, an occultation of Mars, a modest meteor shower, and plenty of telescope targets.
December object to observe with @ActualAstronomy places a focus on how to get the most out of the Mars Opposition Occultation and the happenings overhead. Also several pairings between the Moon and Planets.
Mars Month! October is pretty awesome this year. Two Full Moons, one on Halloween, four brilliantly positioned planets, the Orionid Meteor Shower, and the opposition of Mars are making October of 2020 a rich month for getting out there and investigating the night sky
Every 2 years or so Mars lines up nicely with the Earth. And it’s the best time to send your spacecraft to the Red Planet.
Mars at opposition, four planets at sunset, Venus shining bright, and a lunar eclipse for the other half of the globe. All these make July a pretty great month this year.
Lets start 2018 with some updates from astronomy!
