Earthshine nights are coming up on April 30 and May 1! These are the best nights to see the dark portion of a crescent Moon because the Sun’s light reflects off Earth and illuminates the Moon. They occur a few days before and after a New Moon.

The Lyrids meteor shower is ongoing and will soon peak. The best time to view is the late evening of April 21 into the early morning of April 22, before the moon rises. The Lyrids usually produce about 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, but it has been known to produce as many as 100!

Did you know that the Moon has a tail made of sodium atoms? It's not visible to the naked eye, but during the New Moon and under the right conditions, some astronomical instruments can detect a faint tail stretching thousands of kilometers into space.

Happy Space Science Sunday! Wednesday January 29th marks the first new moon of the year! A New Moon occurs when the Moon is positioned between Earth and the Sun, with the Moon’s shadowed side facing us. The New Moon is the best time for viewing faint objects in the night sky as the Moon’s reduced brightness allows us to see normally less visible celestial objects. So, plan your observing accordingly! Clear skies and happy observing!

I had to let it all go, suffer through the confusion and anxiety, empty the vessel, and clean out my ears. I had to be willing to begin again, to be a beginner, to take one step at a time toward a new way. The most striking element in this new way was the need to become a careful observer. Instead of taking my cues from individual authorities, I cultivated other sources — careful looking and listening.
