Podcast about astronomy and the joys of watching the skies at night--and sometimes during the day
Jupiter will be up all night this week. This opposition isn't as close as last year's, but it'll be the closest for about a dozen years.
Stars zoom by the spacecraft in sci-fi movies and TV shows. Just how fast would you have to go for that to happen? Even light doesn't go anywhere near fast enough for it to look like the stars are barely moving.
For about two centuries, astronomers made mistakes and missed the chance to be credited for discovering Neptune. Finally, some mistakes led to someone discovering it.
This is the week of the annular solar eclipse that crosses the Americas. You don't have much time to get ready to see it. Find the times for your location with the eclipse visibility map. Mars and Mercury disappear, the moon makes it to 28.3° south, and this week's moon-Venus pairing gets a little more sparkle than usual in the heart of Leo.
The celestial dragon may deliver some fireballs courtesy of Comet Halley next week.
If you're in the Americas, you want to prepare for the solar eclipse on the 14th.
Mars continues riding into the sunset.
The moon passes by Saturn.
Venus approaches the lion.
The Daytime Sextantid meteor shower peaks.
See a star when the sun is up.
Mars keeps getting harder to see. Saturn gives a lonely star a little company. Jupiter and Uranus hang out between Cetus and Aries. Venus sparkles in the morning. Mercury at its greatest viewing. Neptune up all night.
A quick guide to figure out when you can see the moon.
Mars passes by Porrima. Saturn continues a nearly all-night show. Jupiter and Uranus rise early. Venus gleems in the morning with the moon. Maybe see Mercury.
A somewhat recently named constellation is a lizard. A couple observers tried to name the stars for different kings.
Mercury goes through conjunction this week. Mars continues heading out of the evening sky. Saturn still looks good after opposition. Jupiter and Uranus await you in the morning. Venus is looking good too.
Some scientists want to know more about Uranus and propose a mission.
And people in most of the Americas will get a solar eclipse next month. Start getting ready now.
Try to find Venus in the morning. Mars is still an evening object. Saturn's up all night. Technology keeps giving us better ways to understand the ringed planet, how it formed, and what that may mean about how the solar system formed.
