May brings us reliable sights with slow-rolling changes. Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and the Moon all dance in the morning twilight all month as we gear up for Spring and Summer constellations.
Today Observer’s Calendar for May with Actual Astronomy talk about meteor shower, Mercury in the morning sky lines up with other planets and Pallas at opposition.
Today EVSN discuss more about meteors – including the source of the Geminids meteor shower, asteroid Phaethon – as well as hot planets, hungry black holes, and how we’re working to uncover the identity of dark matter
Venus shines bright all month, Mercury makes a 3 week appearance, Mars hangs out with Gemini, Saturn continues its morning planet season, and the Lyrids have excellent observing conditions.
December skyguide and news with @AwesomeAstroPod. We JWST image of exoplanet atmosphere, ESA astronaut recruitment, Artemis 1, and more stories. Also Does the x-ray end of the electromagnetic spectrum have Fraunhofer lines like the visual part?
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.
Thanksgiving, 3 planets, a meteor shower (with the possibility of a storm), and a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE. Prepare your instrument as November is going to be great!
Halloween month brings us some spooooooooky astronomy. Saturn and Jupiter soar ominously above, Mars creeps in, and rocks fall from the sky.
