Hi Steve,

I knew the Cosmic Coffeehouse was a thing that you had planned to do. Sadly I didn't see the reminder till after the get together. Maybe I will catch the next one if it's a night that I am not working.

Lets hope for another memorable night in astronomy.

On Monday night into Tuesday we could possibly be treated to a meteor storm of over 1000 meteors per hour. This is a result of us passing through the fragmented debris of 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 which many of us observed breaking up in our own telescopes. The ideal time to see the cosmic display ...

NASA confirmed a few days ago that the Hubble telescope has found the largest ever comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein). It should arrive here in 2031 at 1 billion miles away from the earth. All the information on the comet can be found here on the NASA website. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/...

The latest episode (Season 5 Episode 16) has them restoring a pretty impressive hand-built telescope. It is the latest episode so it may be a day or two before its available on...

Leave it to you Steve, not only to locate James Webb but image it. Great job and I thought I was the only person still using the Guide program.

The Apache-Sitgreaves Observatory can use our help. We get no government funding. Our educational programs and products we sell that help people - fund everything we do at The Observatory. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to The Apache-Sitgreaves Research Center's a...

Thats awesome Steve. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Steve, Very nice slice of lunar rock you have there. Glad you got a COA with it. I always tell those who are interested in buying meteorites to always do back ground checks and make sure that they are registered members of International Meteorite society. Here is a detailed write up about your parti...
