Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE over Síd in Broga (Newgrange) tonight. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture a rare and bright celestial visitor over this ancient... astronomical observatory. A few times some fog descended on the monument and the whole scene took on an otherwordly and ethereal aura. The Tuatha Dé Danann were in their element tonight! Feel blessed and honoured to have witnessed this wonderful scene. #CometNEOWISE #astrophotography #astronomy #Newgrange #monument #mythicalireland #mythicalirelandFacebookpage #mythicalirelandcommunity #nightsky #summer #comet #heavenly #twilight #fog #mist

Look for a fiery orange #Mars as it reaches its its closest position to Earth. It won’t be this bright again until 2035. #FairbanksNightOwl #atronomy #nightsky #planet http://ow.ly/J8VO50BIGvh

Like a vast billboard, the night sky has always been read and scanned for revelation, direction, and guidance. It is our first calendar, our first clock, the place where we humans have always looked up for orientation and our coordinates. - Teresita Fernández Join us for this month’s Slow Art at noon on Thursday, October 22 for a guided meditation and deeper look at Night Writing (2011) by Teresita Fernández.

#Orionid #Meteor Shower continues over the next 4 nights, fragments of #Halley’sComet, producing up to 20 meteors per hour. #FairbanksNightOwl #stargazing #nightsky #astronomy http://ow.ly/3xIn50BIGDM

October 13, 2020, is Mars opposition. What does that mean? During opposition, Earth comes between Mars and the Sun. As a result, Mars will be especially brilliant as it shows a completely full phase, and its placement in the sky opposite the Sun will allow us to observe it all night long. The orange planet rises in the east around sunset, crosses the sky through the night, and sets in the west in the morning. Got a small telescope? A quick peek at Mars will reveal some of t...he dark surface features as well as a bright white southern polar ice cap! Don't worry if you miss seeing Mars on the 13th. It will remain especially bright the next few weeks. LINK: https://mars.nasa.gov/all-about-mars/night-sky/opposition/ #mars #marsopposition #oppositionofmars #astronomy #nightsky #telescope

#Perth #WA on the 21st of December, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will occur, #Jupiter and #Saturn will be in a Great Conjunction and will be so close, they'll appear as a single bright star. The last time the two planets were this close was on the 16th of July 1623 while Galileo Galilei the father of observational astronomy was still alive. For this special occasion, Perth Observatory and Fremantle Sidewalk Astronomy will be heading down with telescopes to the picnic area... at Dogs Beach in North Coogee so you can see Jupiter and Saturn from 7:45 pm to 9:30 pm. Note: Image is from the point of view of someone in the Northern Hemisphere so in the Southern Hemisphere we'd flip the image so Jupiter is on the left and Saturn is on the right. #perthnews #perthevents #perthlife #perthtodo #perthnow #soperth #perthhappenings #westernaustralia #stargazing #astronomy #planets #nightsky #sky #nighttime #night #whatsinthesky #nightphotography #astrophotography #nightscape #nightskyphotography

The most amazing meteor shower of the year is this weekend. This year is going to be really special due to lower air pollution levels and the fact that the light from a sliver of the moon will not disturb our observations. The night sky will be dancing from 13th to 15th December with its peak on 14th early morning at 2:00 am IST. Light pollution is the biggest killer of any night sky observations. Visit lightpollutionmap.info to find the best viewing site near you. You shoul...d aim for a place that's a class 2 or class 3 on the Bortle scale. Head out there for the best meteor shower experience. But please be safe by assessing the conditions of the site and the surroundings beforehand. Please note that the threat of the pandemic is still very real so avoid big groups and gatherings and adhere to local safety and curfew guidelines. Nights get very cold so please dress warm and take precautions and dress adequately. Carry water and snacks with you as well as some mosquito repellent to protect yourself. Carry a traditional torch with red light. In case you don't have a red light torch, carry a normal torch with some red gelatine paper and some rubber bands. Once you are there, look up in the sky and find the constellation Gemini. It's just above the club of Orion. To identify the constellation, you can use a sky tracking app on your phone in night mode. Sky view lite or sky map are great apps for this. The constellation will be at the zenith at around 2am. That's where the meteor shower well originate from. You don't need any special equipment to observe a meteor shower. Just patience. In a good spot you'll be able to see about 120 meteors in an hour. You can also submit your observations, photos, videos, etc. on www.imo.net which helps the organization to study various aspects of the meteors and Earth's orbit. Really great submissions get featured on their website with due credits given to you. Enjoy this heavenly show. Be safe. Take care.
