Centauri Dreams reminds us again of just how very impressive our astronomical observational techniques are becoming. It looks like we'll soon be able to discover habitable moons of distant gas giants. The answer is that an exomoon detection depends on two measurements, neither of which demands observing the dip in starlight caused by the moon itself. What Kipping’s team is looking for is the...

Perhaps we should deck the halls with boughs of spring flowers, because an English astronomer suggested that Jesus might have been born on September 15, 7 BCE. Dr David Hughes, of Sheffield University, argued that September 15 is the real Christmas for the following reasons: In the Gospel of St Luke we read that Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem because "... there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus...

Summary Of Last Week’s Influences: While events last week didn’t start to shake up the bulls’ confidence as much as I thought , the major indices did show signs that this rally is growing a bit weary. Although the indices closed at their 2009 highs Thursday and the DJIA and the S&P500 reached intraday 2009 highs on Friday, they failed to maintain it. Last Monday’s Moon in...

Of all the amazing things I plan to look at through my future telescope (yes, I’m still saving), this event didn’t even cross my mind. Not surprising really, it’s probably never been observed before: Io’s whole shadow transiting across the large Jovian moon, Ganymede. But on August 16th, that changed when Christopher Go from Cebu, [...] Post from: Astroengine.com Amateur Captures...

[IMG] Unless you were quite oblivious, a partial solar eclipse happened last July 22 . If you didn’t realize that an eclipse happened, I can’t blame you since a partial solar eclipse is far, far less spectacular than a total solar eclipse. The sun is far too bright that the moon obscuring only part of the sun’s disc will have no visible effect on the daylight. So, it’s quite...
