The Hollow-Forever Free

The sky is huge, and the universe is infinite and full of things to look at. Those wonderful sights in the sky are scattered across a seemingly unknowable sea of glittering darkness. There is one list that reveals nearly all of the best things in the sky that we can see and where they can be found. All thanks to the serendipitous work of Charles Messier, 18th century French Astronomer and the eponymous creator of the most famous celestial catalog.

Astronomy Alert!

Jupiter Occultation!

Early morning on May 17th, the crescent moon will slip past Jupiter, temporarily blocking it from view. An hour later, Jupiter is popping back out the other side. Daytime observation will reveal the pale disk of Jupiter next to the moon.

Telescopic views can reveal the shadows of Jupiter's moons as they pass between the planet and the sun. As Jupiter emerges from the other side, the great red spot of Jupiter is also emerging into view.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!

Mothers are the glue that holds families together, the heart that beats within the home. They are the ones who make sure everyone is fed, clothed, and loved. They are the ones who kiss boo-boos, wipe away tears, and chase away monsters under the bed. They are the ones who sacrifice their own needs for the sake of their children and their families. Moms are the ultimate multitaskers, juggling a million things at once and somehow managing to make it all look effortless. They are the unsung heroes of our lives, the ones who make everything possible. To all the moms out there, we see you, we appreciate you, and we love you more than words could ever express.

Spring brings the showers, both rain and meteor. The annual Lyrid Meteor shower peaks on the evening of the 22nd and without a moon to interfere, the show should be pleasing. Look for streaks of light in the night sky that come from leftovers of Comet Thatcher's 1861 passing.
