Lets check out what’s up in July sky as @ActualAstronomy talk about watching the Planets Mars, Venus, Mercury and our Moon in the evening sky as well as other sights to see in the July Night Sky.
The permanently shadowed craters on the Moon are the focus of so much research. That’s because they seem to contain vast reserves of water ice. Water we could use for oxygen, propellant and so much more, but also, to help us understand where the Earth’s water came from.
Today @AwesomeAstroPod look at what makes the moon shine, why the moon looks different every night and how objects from dust and asteroids to stars and galaxies either reflect or emit their own light.
This month we’ll talk about the recent Aurora Borealis which lit up our skies. There will be a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, however, this will be mostly a photographic event. We then go over some of the pairings of the Moon and Saturn then Jupiter is occulted (passed over) by the Moon
How far away do you think the Moon is? It looks deceptively large and close in the sky.But here we’ll show you what will happen to the Moon, how far away it is and how we know with such accuracy.
Finding a meteorite that has traveled billions of miles through space to reach it’s present location is exciting. It might even be worth real money. More about it and largest asteroid to come near the Earth in 100 years.
Using a mere twelve grams of lunar soil returned by the Apollo missions, scientists have successfully grown plants in the lab. With a wealth of genetic data on hand, they can now analyze the changes to the plants and the soil.
The Actual Astronomy Podcast presents Objects to Observe in the March 2023 Night Sky. In this episode we’ll talk about two conjunctions, first is Venus and Jupiter followed by Mercury and Jupiter.
If you’ve never been to the southern hemisphere or the northern hemisphere, you might not be aware that the moon and the constellations appear upside down!
A huge part of the Solar System is just made of ice. There are comets, rings, moons and even dwarf planets. Where did all this ice come from, and what impact has it had for life on Earth?
