Dave Eicher, Editor Emeritus of *Astronomy* magazine, encourages observers to locate Saturn, the solar system's sixth planet, in the evening sky. During this observational period, Saturn's typically ...
Successful astronomical observing sessions are significantly enhanced by pre-planning an observing list, ideally sorted geographically (west to east) to optimize viewing flow. Observers are advised to ...
On November 18, observers are advised to look for Leonid meteors in the morning. Also on November 18, bright Venus (magnitude –3.9) will appear approximately 0.8° to the left of the 2.8 magnitude star ...
Primordial nucleosynthesis during the early universe generated hydrogen, helium, and minor lithium-7 before the cosmos cooled, halting further fusion. Stellar interiors synthesize elements up to iron ...
The article outlines a series of observational opportunities for planets, including Jupiter's Galilean moon shadow transits, close approaches of the Moon with Venus, Mercury, and Mars in the predawn ...
The Seestar S30 is introduced as a compact, all-in-one astroimaging system by ZWO, designed for capturing deep-sky objects through integrated optics, automated tracking, and a user-friendly software ...
The upcoming Full Moon, occurring at 11:48 P.M. EDT, is designated as the traditional Hunter’s Moon, and for this specific event, also as a Super Moon and the 2025 Harvest Moon. A Super Moon is ...
October features significant planetary phenomena, including two transits of Titan across Saturn and recurring tandem transits of Io and Europa across Jupiter's disk, often with their shadows. The ...
The Moon reaches apogee, the farthest point from Earth in its orbit, at 5:46 A.M. EDT. At that time, our satellite will stand 251,996 miles (405,548 km) away. With the Moon sinking low in the hours ...
Manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques, including the "handstand" method, are ineffective in microgravity due to the lack of a counter-force to compression, resulting in insufficient ...
3I/ATLAS is an interstellar object, originating outside our solar system. It's traveling much faster than previously observed interstellar objects. Scientists believe it may have formed in a different ...
Several planets, including Mercury, Mars, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, and Jupiter, are visible this month. Saturn's moon Titan will cast its shadow on Saturn twice during July. Neptune will be ...
