]]> We’re back with our live viewing of the cosmos! Join us as we view the Veil Nebula via a camera attached to our telescope – it’s a supernova remnant from a massive star that exploded 8,000 years ago, and it’s gorgeous. We’ll also talk about tonight’s expected meteor storm as the Earth passes through a narrow trail of comet debris. Experience backyard astronomy – using our backyard and equipment!

Together, we’ll look at a trillion stars 20 million light-years away – it’s mind-blowing stuff. Check it out! We also discussed the distant world Ultima Thule in Tori’s “Far Out Fact” segment.

We also discussed the distant world Ultima Thule in Tori’s “Far Out Fact” segment. Learn more about this “sad snowman” at the outer edges of our solar system!

]]> Our teaser for this one is “what are the oldest objects in the galaxy?” Well, globular clusters are among them for sure. In this episode, we’ll train our telescope on globular cluster M3, and share the views thanks to a camera attached to it. We’ll look at lots of pretty pictures of star clusters, of both the globular and open types, and talk about how very different the two kinds of star clusters are.

Globular star clusters are ancient structures that stimulate the imagination. What’s it like inside of one? Could they harbor interstellar civilizations? How did they form? Where are they, and just old are they?

We’ll also discuss the recent discovery of moonquakes that the geologic processes that cause them, in our first “far-out fact” segment!

Give it a view!
