I was checking out Jupiter and Saturn last night in the big scope, and man, I wish you guys were there! One of the things MOST exciting to share is: "this is not theoretical!" I mean, they're ACTUALLY out there!! I'm prepping a lecture/hangout/chat tomorrow for some seniors, and can't wait to bring 'em the stars. For the rest of us: here's an amazing shot of the Orion Nebula my brother Noah took from his back porch through one of my smaller (!) scopes. This ain't no Hubble, man! https://www.instagram.com/p/B6jPPYHpEst/
Don't forget, folks! The Perseid meteors peak overnight. https://www.space.com/32868-perseid-meteor-shower-guide.html
Heya folks! Annnnd we're back. The Perseid meteor shower is approaching, peaking on August 11/12. What if you're like some of my buddies, and are blind? Or it's raining? Listening to 'em is a great way to observe. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa14fOybJ4qTosQPa1TJdcw
I got to learn how to use a thirty foot telescope last night. It was "out of this world!" https://joshurban.substack.com/p/shoot-the-moon?s=w
