Mars and Saturn swing close to Earth, revealing stormy skies in new photos

sudshr47 July 26, 2018

The intrepid Hubble Space Telescope recently spied storms on Mars and moons racing around Saturn.

Both planets’ orbits have aligned with Earth this year to bring them relatively close — though they’re still millions of miles away.

Astronomers call this event “opposition,” because, during these periods, Earthlings see Mars or Saturn rise in the East, while the sun sets opposite us, in the West.

Lunar Eclipse Mars Saturn Skywatching Venus

Friday’s total lunar eclipse will last nearly two hours, but the U.S. misses out

sudshr47 July 26, 2018

One of the longest total lunar eclipses of the centuries will light up the skies around the world on Friday night into the wee hours of Saturday morning.

The good news is that millions of people around the world — from almost all of Africa to the vast majority of Asia — will be able to see the moon gradually turn a deep blood red during the total lunar eclipse.

The bad news? No one in North America or Greenland will get to see it.

At its longest point, the eclipse will last for 1 hour and 43 minutes.

Nasa maps out which parts of the globe will see the total lunar eclipse

Look to the night sky this week to see Saturn shining alongside the full moon

sudshr47 June 25, 2018

Mark your calendars. This week’s night sky will provide a visual feast of celestial proportions.

As soon as the sun sets this week, look to the east. If you have a clear view, you’ll be able to see Saturn glowing brightly as Earth’s orbit brings us directly between Saturn and the sun on Wednesday.

According to a NASA skywatching video, the best time to check out the ringed world is at about midnight.

That said, you might take special care to look above you on Wednesday, when the full moon rises not far from Saturn in the night sky. Read more…
