Fireworks aren't the only light show on July 4th. Shortly after sunset, the Full Buck Moon (a traditional name for July's Full Moon) will pass through the outermost portion of the Earth's shadow, a subtle event called a penumbral lunar eclipse. Join Lowell Observatory educators at the Giovale Open Deck Observatory (https://lowell.edu/godo) at 8pm AZ/PT on Saturday, July 4, 2020, for a live stream of this penumbral lunar eclipse. While the Moon is progressing through the eclipse, we'll also conduct an Interactive Stargazing session, showcasing some celestial objects and then letting viewers choose which objects to see via YouTube's chat function. Moonrise in Flagstaff is at 7:41pm PDT, and sunset is at 7:44pm. The penumbral lunar eclipse begins at 8:07pm PDT and ends at 10:52pm. Maximum eclipse is at 9:29:51pm. Learn more about this eclipse here: https://youtu.be/Jwl7pdu9g2s. **The effect of this penumbral eclipse is very subtle and may not be visible by all viewers.**

Sagas in the Sky explores some of the stories behind the stars in the night sky. In this episode, we look at the story of Sagittarius.

Jupiter, Saturn and the moon are prominent in the night sky early in the month, Also, find out where to find Mars in the month that NASA and others may launch to Red Planet. Night Sky Guide: July 2020: https://www.space.com/16149-night-sky.html) Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Buying your first telescope can be intimidating if you don't know what to look for! Our Living Sky Guy Tim Yaworski is joined by a "Saskatchewan Star Man" to get into the details on what you should be looking for in your first telescope purchase.

What are some skywatching highlights you can see in July 2020? Enjoy the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn with their moons, stay up late to spot Mars rising. Plus: what would you see stargazing on the Red Planet? Additional information about topics covered in this episode of What's Up, along with still images from the video, and the video transcript, are available at https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/whats-up-skywatching-tips-from-nasa.

**Due to expected weather in Flagstaff, the date has been moved from June 25 to June 30.** Join Lowell Observatory educators at the Giovale Open Deck Observatory (https://lowell.edu/godo) for a guided, interactive observing session. After showcasing some planned celestial objects through our 14" PlaneWave CDK telescope, we’ll let you choose which objects to see next via YouTube's chat function. It's stargazing, reimagined. *Note: Programming may be canceled due to inclement weather.

Wolf-Rayet stars are evolved, massive stars that help produce many of the heavy elements (such as Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen) as they end their lives as spectacular supernovae. Here, Kathryn Neugent will discuss their physical properties, evolution, and how we find them in our local universe. *This episode of Meet an Astronomer is sponsored by APS.

Two fascinating talks about astronomy live to your home. This time, Dr. Sophie Reed from Princeton University presents "Finding the Earliest Quasars". For the second talk (directly after the first), Ashley Walker from Chicago State University presents her talk "Black Astronomy". Talks start at 1 pm, so our European fans can join in. Light up the BBQ and bring your own beer.

As part of our live observation evening, come observe the sky with Mike, user of the eVscope who is in England. To know the next lives of the evening go to the dedicated page of the event: https://unistellaroptics.com/unistellar-live/ If you missed a live, they will be available for replay at the start of next week on the Unistellar channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwMBOkLSgp_DO0aYfEg9KVg Do not hesitate to use the chat, we will answer all your questions!

On the 7th February I was privileged to interview Sir Patrick Moore and ask him some questions about his work and thoughts on observing variable stars and what the future holds for variable star observers in the years to come. We met at his 15th Century house, Farthings, in Selsey, West Sussex, and the interview was held in his study where oh so many of his now world famous books were written on his old Woodstock typewriter.

Cosmic Coffee explores a different topic in astronomy or planetary science each week. This week, Lowell Observatory Director Dr. Jeff Hall speaks with Educator Victoria Girgis about the famed image she took of the first round of Starlink satellites passing through a photographic field of galaxies shortly after launch just over a year ago, and the observatory's program of interactive stargazing that made that image possible. *This episode of Cosmic Coffee is sponsored by APS. Cosmic Coffee is presented each Thursday at 9am AZ/PT.

New, bright comets are something most every amateur astronomer wants to see. But when and where a comet may be visible depends on an observer's location - can you see the comet where you are? If so, you'll want to know where it will show up so you can go to the best place to observe it. But adding a comet in Stellarium is... well, not terribly easy. In the video, David Fuller from Eyes on the Sky shows step-by-step how to import the orbital elements for a comet into Stellarium so you can see exactly where the comet will show up for your location.

About this Video In July, find the Scorpius constellation to identify the reddish supergiant Antares, which will lead you to discover a trio of globular star clusters. Keep watching for space-based views of these densely packed, spherical collections of ancient stars, as well as three nebulas: the Swan Nebula, the Lagoon Nebula, and the Trifid Nebula. About this Series “Tonight’s Sky” is a monthly video of constellations you can observe in the night sky. The series is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute, home of science operations for the Hubble Space Telescope, in partnership with NASA’s Universe of Learning. This is a recurring show, and you can find more episodes—and other astronomy videos—at https://hubblesite.org/resource-gallery/learning-resources/tonights-sky.

Welcome to my channel! I'm Dr Maggie Lieu and I make youtube videos about space & astronomy. In solidarity with the black lives matter movement and Juneteenth, I wanted to make a list of black astronomy and space role models, since during my entire 12 years in academia I really could not think of a single tenured Black Astronomy Professor. For myself, I know the huge importance role models can have on young people and their career choices, so by highlighting some here, I hope that it can encourage more BAME backgrounds into my field. A more diverse field is important for new ideas and therefore science progress. Extra reading: ShutDownStem have a comprehensive list of reading materials on anti black racism in academia: https://www.shutdownstem.com/racism-in-academia Ashley Lindalía has a twitter moment with highlighting Black Junior Astronomers back in February: https://twitter.com/i/events/1101571329592119297?s=13 You can support the BLM movement by donating to charity.

This video zooms into the planetary nebula NGC 7027. The object had been slowly puffing away its mass in quiet, spherically symmetric or perhaps spiral patterns for centuries — until relatively recently when it produced a new cloverleaf pattern.
