Canton’s Birthday!
mar 24 całodniowy

Canton is the fellow who updates your astronomy calendar (full moons, equinoxes, meteor showers, etc.) from his laptop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s his birthday today!

The astronomy calendar is an effort of love and no reciprocity is needed or expected, but if you’d like to learn more about the calendar or say thank you for his efforts (or even report an error!) then please visit:

Venus In The Evening
mar 24 całodniowy

What’s that, a plane coming in for a landing just after sunset? No, that’s Venus blinding you from the western sky.

The planet Venus reaches greatest eastern elongation of 46.1 degrees from the Sun. This is the best time to view Venus since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky.

Lyrids Meteor Shower
kwi 22 całodniowy

AWESOME super dark night for a fairly average shower, usually producing about 20 meteors per hour at its peak. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher, which was discovered in 1861. The shower runs annually from April 16-25. It peaks this year on the night of the night of the 22nd and morning of the 23rd. These meteors can sometimes produce bright dust trails that last for several seconds. The nearly new moon will ensure dark skies for what should be a good show this year. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Lyra, but can appear anywhere in the sky.
