I must say it's interesting to hear a new Star is born. It's only sad I won't be able to see it. T_T
Can you explain a little more what that program is for? And it's awesome you can make that. |
It is memory game that I made for my computer programing class and if you get up very early ( 5:30 AM local time) in the morning, Scorpius visible.

Welcome to the club!
So tomorrow is the Lunar Eclipse, huh? That's great! I might check on it. I just heard that the sky above Belgium will be clear, so I might go see it. ^^ Now I just have to change the EST to GMT+1. |
I was able to observe it and it was cool to see.
|
can i join the pokecommunity astronomy club too?
im in an astronomy club at school |
I saw the lunar eclipse on saturday 3rd of march, does anyone know when the next solar eclipse is meant to happen, and where is the best place to see it?
|
Sure you may join, the more people the better. ^^
YES! I saw the lunar eclipse too. It was great, although the moon stood a bit to far away to really see it. And sky was a bit cloudy. xO At my place it started at 10:30 and ended past midnight. I remember seeing a lunar eclipse long ago. There were almost no clouds, and it was early in the evening. The moon wa really big and red like a tomato. It was awesome, yet a bit scary. (I was very young then, I didn't know what it was yet) For the next solar eclipse? I don't know. The only thing I know is that we had a complete one in 2001. You could only see it in the south of the country, but in the north (where I live) you could see a bit of it. |
Welcome to the club Delkatty and Mudkipblader I will get back with the date for the next solar eclipse.
Edit: Technically some sort of solar eclipse occurs 15 days before or after a lunar eclipse. The next total solar eclipse is August 1st, 2008. |
Saturn Hexagon and Day Measurements
Scientists are still puzzled at the hexagon shaped clouds at Saturn's North Pole and Saturn's moon Enceladus is possibly making it impossible for astronomers on Earth measure the length of Saturn's day using traditional techniques.

National Dark - Sky Week and a Light Pollution Bill
Today marks the beginning of National Dark- Sky Week. national Dark - Sky Week was created five years ago to raise awareness of the effects of light pollution not only on the night sky but other effects on society. Also I would like to mention that the New York State Assemble introduced a bill that would fight light pollution.

Mercury has a molten core
Recent studies of Mercury has indicate a molten core like Earth.

Really? An other chance that we can move to Mars.
Ther's also a lot of water on mars, right? |

I could be wrong, though... my area of expertise is in Astrophysics (black holes, Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, space-time, and all that jazz) rather than true blue Astronomy. But I'd like to become a member anyways! |
Welcome to the club. ^^
But a few months ago -If I remember correctly- I read that there was -or has been- water on Mars. Mainly on the Norht/South-pole. It's also possible that bacteria live on Mars. But I don't remember it good anymore. And I thought it was Titan (Saturn) that was good. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/4229110.stm |
Is this club still active? And can a noob like me join? I've enjoyed astronomy for years.
