Compact and portable refractor telescope kit for stargazers on the go. PRODUCT PAGES: For our US and Canadian customers - http://bit.ly/2NfIJQN The versatile Orion CT80 EQ 80mm Refractor Telescope combines a wide-field refractor telescope with a stable equatorial (EQ) mount and adjustable tripod. The telescope's 80mm (3.15") aperture, f/5 objective lens is larger than lenses found in most typical starter scopes, which means you'll enjoy brighter views of everything you see. The CT80 optics are fully coated with anti-reflection coatings for clear, sharply defined views. Internal knife-edge baffles help optimize contrast by preventing off-axis reflections. The CT80 EQ Compact Refractor will amaze the whole family with wide-field views of the Moon, planets, and even bright nebulas and star clusters. The included EQ-1C equatorial mount is specifically designed for convenient stargazing. The telescope mount is equipped with handy slow-motion controls which allow easy manual tracking of celestial objects as they appear to move across the sky. The equatorial mount head sits atop a sturdy black metal tripod with extendable, cylindrical legs which can be adjusted easily to set the telescope at a comfortable height. An optional EQ-1CM DC Drive (sold separately) can be added at any time to motorize the EQ-1C mount for hands-free tracking of celestial objects. The CT80 EQ 80mm Refractor Telescope sports a 1.25" rack-and-pinion focuser, and two 1.25" eyepieces are included. The included 25mm Kellner eyepiece provides a 16-power view through the telescope, while the included 10mm Plossl ocular boosts magnification up to 40x for closer looks. An included 1.25" star diagonal places inserted eyepieces at a comfortable angle for stargazing. You can use other 1.25" eyepieces or Barlow lenses with the CT80 EQ Refractor Telescope to achieve different magnifications (Barlow lenses and additional eyepieces sold separately). An included red-dot sight with two brightness settings helps aim the telescope at interesting objects. This special kit includes the Orion Moon Map, Orion Moon Filter, Orion RedBeam Mini Flashlight and the Orion Star Target Planisphere.

According to Mother Nature Network, theres a rare celestial phenomenon happening in Canada called ‘Steve’. ‘Steve’ is a placeholder name given by a group of Aurora enthusiasts that discovered this atmospheric phenomenon in 2016. The event is very similar to other aurora phenomenon, except ‘Steve’ appears as a narrow arc of light, and is typically found in lower latitudes, closer to the equator. https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/space/blogs/steve-river-light-night-skys-newest-phenomenon http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com

The Earth’s atmosphere keeps us safe from the harsh environment of space, but it also obscures our view into the cosmos. No matter how powerful a telescope you build, the turbulence of the atmosphere limits your resolution. But astronomers and engineers have an amazing technology that allows a telescope to peer into space as if the atmosphere isn’t even there, producing images from here on the ground which are as sharp and clear as if the telescope was out in space. It’s called adaptive optics, and we’re now at the point where the most powerful ground-based telescopes have matched and even exceeded the capability of space telescopes.

Every few years Earth passes Mars in its orbit around the Sun. On July 31, 2018, the distance between Earth and Mars will be the shortest it's been since 2003—the red planet won't come this close again until 2035. Why will these neighboring planets be so close to each other, and what can we expect to see—either with the naked eye or through a telescope—in the sky? #Mars #planets #retrograde #orbit #space #astronomy *** Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AMNHOrg Check out our full video catalog: http://www.youtube.com/user/AMNHorg Facebook: ‪http://fb.com/naturalhistory ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Twitter: ‪http://twitter.com/amnh ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Tumblr: ‪http://amnhnyc.tumblr.com/‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ Instagram: ‪http://instagram.com/amnh‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬ This video and all media incorporated herein (including text, images, and audio) are the property of the American Museum of Natural History or its licensors, all rights reserved.

There's going to be a blood moon on Friday, July 27. According to Forbes, the effect is caused by the indirect light from the sun bouncing through the Earth’s atmosphere. You don’t need a telescope or special glasses to witness this eclipse, says Lifehacker. The bad news is that you still have to be in the right part of Earth to see it.

Eventually, everyone wants to take pictures of the night sky with their telescopes. It's not exactly a beginner activity, but it is one of the most rewarding feelings when you've processed an image you took yourself. We also live in an age when you can processing images directly from spacecraft orbiting other worlds in our solar system. There is also a multitude of citizen science projects that we can all get involved with. Please join Tony Darnell, Adam Synergy Smith, John Suffill and Alexander Reinders as we discuss some of the amazing possibilities open to amateurs with our guest Jason Major, one of the foremost science communicators and imaging enthusiast.

Since 1937, astronomers have puzzled over the curious variability of a young star named RW Aur A, which is located about 450 light years from Earth. Every few decades, the star's optical light has faded briefly before brightening again. In recent years, astronomers have observed the star dimming more frequently, and for longer periods. Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of scientists may have uncovered what caused the star's most recent dimming event: a collision of two infant planetary bodies. Once the planets were destroyed, the debris would have fallen onto the star, generating a thick veil of dust and gas. This would have temporarily obscured the star's light, explaining the dimming astronomers have seen. Computer simulations have long predicted that planets can fall into a young star, but scientists have never before observed that before now. If this most recent study is correct, it would be the first time that astronomers have directly observed a young star devouring a planet. Because the X-rays come from the hot outer atmosphere of the star, changes in the X-ray spectrum — the intensity of X-rays measured at different wavelengths — over these three observations were used to probe the density and composition of the absorbing material around the star. The team found that the dips in both optical and X-ray light are caused by dense gas obscuring the star's light. The observation in 2017 showed strong emission from iron atoms, indicating that the disk contained at least 10 times more iron than in the 2013 observation during a bright period. The researchers think the excess iron was created when two planetesimals, or infant planetary bodies, collided. If one or both planetary bodies are made partly of iron, their smash-up could release a large amount of iron into the star's disk and temporarily obscure its light as the material falls into the star. This discovery gives insight into the processes affecting the development of infant planets. Undoubtedly, astronomers will continue to study this fascinating object with Chandra and other telescopes.

This sequence starts with a wide view of the Milky Way and zooms in on the globular star cluster NGC 6388 in the constellation of Scorpius (The Scorpion). The final images are first from MUSE on ESO's Very Large Telescope in Wide Field Mode and then the last, very sharp, image shows part of the cluster using the MUSE Narrow Field Mode with adaptive optics turned on.

ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has achieved first light with a new adaptive optics mode called laser tomography — and has captured remarkably sharp test images of the planet Neptune, star clusters and other objects. The pioneering MUSE instrument in Narrow-Field Mode, working with the GALACSI adaptive optics module, can now use this new technique to correct for turbulence at different altitudes in the atmosphere. It is now possible to capture images from the ground at visible wavelengths that are sharper than those from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The combination of exquisite image sharpness and the spectroscopic capabilities of MUSE will enable astronomers to study the properties of astronomical objects in much greater detail than was possible before. This ESOcast gives a taste of these remarkable results. The video is available in 4K UHD. The ESOcast Light is a series of short videos bringing you the wonders of the Universe in bite-sized pieces. The ESOcast Light episodes will not be replacing the standard, longer ESOcasts, but complement them with current astronomy news and images in ESO press releases.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, has long been a home to Mars exploration. But later this month, several JPL scientists and engineers are bringing the excitement of space and exploring Mars to Griffith Observatory. These "Martians" will interact with the public during a free Observatory stargazing party for the Red Planet’s closest approach to Earth for the next 17 years. Media are invited to attend. Advance media RSVPs are required (see below). On Monday night, July 30, Earth and Mars will be 35.8 million miles (57.6 million kilometers) from each other, the closest they have been since the historic 34.6-million-mile (55.6 million kilometers) close approach in August 2003. The moment of closest approach is 12:45 a.m., Tuesday, July 31. By a celestial coincidence, at the moment of closest approach, Mars will be at its very best position for viewing through a telescope from Los Angeles. It crosses the meridian and appears highest in the southern sky at that time. The next similar close approach won’t happen until September 11, 2035, when Mars will be 35.4 million miles (56.9 million kilometers) away. Unlike an eclipse, Mars will not change appearance during the evening. Members of JPL Mars missions will be available for interviews and will participate in the Observatory’s LiveStream broadcast. A few of them include:  Rich Zurek, Chief Scientist for JPL's Mars Program Office  Farah Alibay, engineer for NASA's InSight and MarCO missions  Keri Bean, engineer for NASA's Opportunity rover Models of NASA's next mission to Mars, InSight, will also be on hand as props for interviews. If rain is forecast for the evening of the close approach, we shall decide by 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 29, whether the event will be canceled. The Observatory will post a notice on its homepage if rain is likely.

What can you see in July’s night skies? Mars opposition on the 27th, when Mars, Earth and the Sun all line up, and Mars’ closest approach to Earth since 2003 on the 31st. That means great Mars viewing, though the planet-wide Martian dust storm will make seeing details more difficult.
