Little Sealand Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 That was small joke. But do you think NASA will send an other rover over to Mars after the ORION project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegarth Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I dunno but I'm honestly excited about the Orion project and the possibility of reaching MARS soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Sealand Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I used to think I was born to late to go to the moon, and to early to go to mars, but this changes my thinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhang Bhang Duc Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Watched out for Geminid meteors the last couple of nights - saw a few, but wasn't observing that long. It was cold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Sealand Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Ah I love the cold. When summer easily gets 100 degrees, and you've been stuck in a desert halfway accross the world from your home that reaches about 110 sometimes and barely rarely rains for a month. You'll get my standpoint. Whens the next Geminid meteor shower? I couldn't find an estimation online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I was under the impression that it's during this time frame every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A waxing crescent Moon (Moon's phase after a New Moon) will create good conditions for viewing the shower. http://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/meteor-shower/geminids.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhang Bhang Duc Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 Comet Lovejoy is becoming visible from the northern hemisphere about now. You will need binoculars to see it - it's about mag 5.5 (mag 6 is the faintest you can see normally). Currently in the constellation of Lepus, which sits below Orion. The comet is moving northwesterly, through Eridanus up into Taurus over the next week or so. Check Sky and Telescope for finder charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Emperor Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Looks like I need to get a pair of binoculars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Sealand Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 And I lost my pair. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhang Bhang Duc Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Did see Comet Lovejoy the other night - only just mind you. It was in the light polluted murk close to my southern horizon. Should be better viewing now, but a bright, near-full moon will drown it out a bit. In solar news it's looking like the maximum of this cycle may have occured in April 2014. The sunspot numbers are smoothed in such a way that the latest smoothed number is alway six months behind the last actual month i.e. the latest smoothed number is for June 2014. Anyway, most of the data I've seen (plus my own personal data) indicates April was the maximum. Of course if we get another upturn in activity that can change, but I suspect April will eventually be confirmed as the time when maximum happened.

Winnipeg Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 As per usual...anything interesting happening in the skies above....clouds roll in to blanket Lethbridge in snow/rain/grey. Enjoy the Comet viewing...hopefully I'll get a chance to see it at some point this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhang Bhang Duc Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm definitely going to give this thread a reboot. Sunspots, Pluto, Rosetta - lots to discuss. Give me a little time, currently manning the revolutionary barricades. Ktilqr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
