Hosted by Chris Beckett & Shane Ludtke, two amateur astronomers in Saskatchewan. actualastronomy@gmail.com The Observer's Calendar for October 2024 and Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas on Episode 450 of the Actual Astronomy podcast. I'm Chris and joining me is Shane. We are amateur astronomers who love looking up at the night sky and this podcast is for everyone who enjoys going out under the stars.   - Oct 1 - Zodiacal light is visible again this month. Actually, Alister and I observed it back on Sept. 8th, so it does become visible even in late summer. Look towards East or just north of east and it's a pyramid shaped pillar of light pointing somewhat towards M45, the Pleiades star cluster. - Oct 2 - New Moon! Also an annular solar eclipse on this day…but only for extreme southern tip of South America and center of Pacific…let us know if you see this! - Oct 5 - Venus as close as 3° to the Moon in Evening Sky - Oct 10 - First Quarter Moon - Oct 14th - Saturn Pairs as close as 0.1° of Moon and Occultation for parts of Africa…so if anyone is there…hint hint…we have a friend visiting Africa for astronomy who will join us in coming weeks. - Oct 15th - Neptune just over ½° from the Moon and occultation for other regions including Africa. - Oct 17 - Full Moon - Largest in 2024 - I don't know if it's super or not…large tides this week too. - Oct 19 - Moon Near Pleiades this evening  -Oct 20/21 - Orionid meteors peak but Moon interferes but it pairs with Jupiter for a nice sight, as close as 0.6° - Oct 24th - Last Quarter Moon   Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas -  Best night here will be Oct 15th when it passes Messier 5, a Globular Star Cluster in Serpens. Comet is forecast to be at Mag. 3 that night!   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.  Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Observación de mediados de julio que comienzo relativamente tarde, de modo que equivale a un cielo de verano tardío. Yo no sé la cantidad de intentos que ha habido ya por mi parte este año de observar, unos infructuosos porcielos cubiertos, otros también infructuosos también por la meteo pero cuando ya había realizado el despliegue del instrumental, y otros por circunstancias ajenas a los cielos. El caso es que he tenido poca suerte este tiempo atrás y, aunque sí he observado, han sido sesiones que no han dado mucho de sí por aparición de nubes, porque la luna salía pronto o por cualquier otra razón, este año ha habido contadísimas sesiones “serias”. De las largas. Incluso tres días antes, en el mismo lugar de observación, hice el despliegue de medios pero una vez más, las nubes hicieron acto de presencia incluso antes de lo predicho. Pero llegó el día. Hoy las previsiones han estado acertadas, las últimas nubes se retiraban alrededor de medianoche y la luna, de tres días, también dejaba el cielo libre relativamente pronto y por tanto me he encontrado un cielo completamente despejado. Y como ya sabéis que la oscuridad del cielo deja bastante que desear en más del 90% de las ocasiones y lugares a los que vamos, es una cosa a la que no tenemos más remedio que acostumbrarnos. Pero aquí no hemos venido a lamentarnos sino a disfrutar un rato del cielo estrellado y de las maravillas que alberga. No hay viento, la temperatura es de unos 20 ºC, no hay humedad y el SQM da una medida de 21,3. Cuando las noches de observación de calidad escasean tanto, uno se afana en capturar muchos objetos, tal vez demasiados, y ocurre lo mismo con el ansia de observar objetos por aquí y por allá, sin centrarse en un area que haga medianamente coherente la relación de objetos a los que apunta. Esta es una de esas noches. Salto de Aquila a Sagitario, Serpens, Cygnus, Sagita y Vulpecula. Un caos. Así que en el momento que he ideado esta introducción, no tengo claro siquiera cómo titular el episodio. Objetos observados: * NGC6781 Nebulosa planetaria en Aquila. * NGC6520 Cúmulo bierto en Sagitario y B86 (Mancha de tinta) * 6440 globular y 6445 neb. planetaria en Sagitario. * NGC 6118 Galaxia en Serpens cauda. * Nebulosa de la Pisada, (Minkowski 1-92) M 1-92, en Cygnus. * M71 Cúmulo globular en Sagitta. * NGC6802 Cúmulo abierto en Sagitta. * M27 NP Vulpecula.

The Sun is about four and a half billion years old, so it's been around awhile. Compared to some of the galaxy's oldest stars, though, it's a youngster. Some stars have been around since shortly after the universe was born. In the Milky Way Galaxy, many of those ancient stars reside in globular clusters — giant balls of stars that may have formed as the Milky Way itself was taking shape. An example is Messier 5. It's in the southeast at nightfall, in the constellation Serpens. It's a bit too faint to see with the eye alone, but through binoculars it looks like a fuzzy star. M5 is about 25,000 light-years away. It contains several hundred thousand stars. Together, they form a slightly flattened ball that spans about 160 light-years. Most of the stars in M5 formed at about the same time, from a single giant cloud of gas and dust. Those stars are about 12 billion years old, and perhaps older. Almost all of its stars are fainter and less massive than the Sun. Only a few are more impressive — stars that are in the final stages of life, or that've been “rejuvenated” by encounters with other stars. Any stars that were born heavier than the cluster's current population have either exploded or shed their outer layers to expose their hot, dead cores — the remnants of some of M5's most ancient stars.

The head of the serpent slithers into the early evening sky this month, with its tail twisting along a bit later. Serpens is the only constellation that's split apart. The two halves are separated by Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer. The snake's head rises first. It's in the east and southeast at nightfall, marked by a serpentine trail of faint stars. The tail, which is below Ophiuchus, climbs into view about an hour later. The brightest of the stars of Serpens is Unukalhai — an Arabic name that means “the serpent's neck.” The star also is known as Alpha Serpentis, indicating its ranking as the constellation's leading light. The star is in the final stages of life. It converted the hydrogen fuel in its core to helium, causing the core to shrink and get hotter. That triggered the next round of nuclear reactions, with the helium being converted to carbon and oxygen. The changes in the core have caused the star's outer layers to puff up like a balloon. That's made the star about 14 times wider than the Sun. The expansion also made the star's surface much cooler, so it shines yellow-orange. In time, all the reactions in the star's core will stop, and the outer layers will puff out into space. For a while, that expanding cloud will form a colorful bubble. As the bubble cools and dissipates, though, only the star's dead core will remain — depriving the serpent of its bright neck. More about the serpent tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield

Two constellations that are entwined in both mythology and the sky climb into good view in the east and southeast this month. Ophiuchus, the serpent bearer, is one of the larger of the 88 modern-day constellations. Its brightest stars form a pattern that looks a bit like the outline of an old coffee urn. It's flanked by the two halves of Serpens, the serpent. The snake's head rises above the serpent bearer, with its tail below. In mythology, Ophiuchus was associated with Asclepius, the son of the god Apollo. He became a great healer, in part because of an encounter with a snake. One day, he saw a snake resurrect another one by laying some herbs on top of it. Asclepius began using those same herbs. He not only healed the sick, but he managed to raise the dead as well. That was bad for the business of Hades, the god of the underworld. He complained to Zeus, the king of the gods. Zeus killed Asclepius with a lightning bolt. But according to one version of the story, that set off a tiff between Zeus and Apollo. To end it, Zeus moved Asclepius into the stars — as the serpent bearer. To find the serpent bearer and the serpent, look low in the sky as night falls for two prominent stars: Altair, which is due east, and Antares, in the southeast. Ophiuchus and Serpens spread far above these bright stars. We'll have more about Ophiuchus tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

 In this episode, we explore the dance of the planets in the morning sky, a comet passing by a globular cluster and we explore the constellations Ophiuchus and Serpens. 

A star cluster on the outskirts of the galaxy is falling apart. Its stars are being pulled away, forming a ribbon tens of thousands of light-years long. And one of the causes may be a clump of black holes at the cluster's heart. Palomar 5 is a globular cluster — a giant ball of stars. It's one of the Milky Way's least impressive globulars. It's about 10,000 times the mass of the Sun — much lighter than almost any other cluster. And its stars are much more thinly spread. A study last year placed the blame on a clump of black holes. Researchers simulated possible interactions within Palomar 5 until they got a match with what we see. They found that Palomar 5 might have started out like most globulars. Many of its big, massive stars quickly exploded, leaving only their dead cores: black holes. Today, there could be a hundred black holes that are roughly 20 times the mass of the Sun. The black holes kicked other stars out of the cluster's heart, pushing the black holes closer together. That allowed the gravity of the rest of the galaxy to strip away many stars from the cluster's fringes. Today, they form a long trail through the galaxy's outskirts. A billion years from now, all the stars may have been stripped away, leaving only the black holes. After that, they, too, will go their own ways. Palomar 5 is in Serpens, which is in the southeast at nightfall. It takes a telescope to spot Palomar 5 — a cluster that's falling apart. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

The star cluster Messier 5 is big, old, and crowded. It contains hundreds of thousands of stars, all packed into a ball that's about 165 light-years across. By comparison, a similar volume of space in our region of the galaxy would hold only a few thousand stars. The cluster is ancient — it formed as early as 13 billion years ago — less than one billion years after the birth of the universe. That makes it one of the oldest components of the Milky Way. But the stars of Messier 5 may not all be that old. A recent study found the stars might have been born in waves. The first wave gave birth to massive stars — many times heavier than the Sun. They burned out in a hurry, though, and exploded. Shockwaves from the explosions might have helped trigger the second wave — huge numbers of smaller stars born in the central region of the cluster. And the third wave came later still, with many more stars born outside the center. Whenever they were born, the stars form an impressive group. Messier 5 is about 25,000 light-years away, in Serpens Caput — the head of the snake. It's in the southeast as the sky gets fully dark. It's too faint to see with the eye alone. But binoculars reveal a smudge of light that looks like a fuzzy star. And long-exposure images show thousands of individual stars — some of the oldest residents of the Milky Way. We'll talk about another cluster in Serpens tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Some of the 88 constellations are a little disjointed. They meander in odd directions, making them hard to follow. But only one is really disjointed — it's split into two parts. They outline Serpens, the snake. One part represents its head, while the other contains its tail. They're separated by the serpent bearer, Ophiuchus. The head is in the eastern sky at nightfall now, while the tail climbs into good view a couple of hours later. Ophiuchus is between them, with the snake curling behind his back. The snake's brightest star is in its head. It's known as Alpha Serpentis or Unukalhai — from an Arabic name that means “the serpent's neck.” It's visible to the unaided eye under all but the most light-polluted skies. Alpha Serpentis is a red giant. It's used up the original hydrogen fuel in its core, and is now burning the helium “ash” to keep it going. That transition has made the core hotter, which has caused its outer layers to puff up like a giant balloon. In fact, the star is more than a dozen times the Sun's diameter, and it's likely to get even bigger. Alpha Serpentis is also brighter than the Sun — roughly 40 times brighter at visible wavelengths. But as the star expanded it got cooler, turning it orange. Such cool stars produce a lot of infrared light. So when you add up all wavelengths, Alpha Serpentis is about 70 times brighter than the Sun — the brilliant head of the serpent. More about Serpens tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

It was discovered by the French scientist Jean-Jacques Dortous de Mairan some time before 1731,[2] then catalogued by Charles Messier in 1769.[a] It is physically part of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42), separate from that main nebula by a dense lane of dust known as the northeast dark lane.[4] It is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.   Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth.[1] They are so named because the gas and dust are in the process of creating new stars, while also being eroded by the light from nearby stars that have recently formed.[2] Taken on April 1, 1995, it was named one of the top ten photographs from Hubble by Space.com.[3] The astronomers responsible for the photo were Jeff Hester and Paul Scowen from Arizona State University. The region was rephotographed by ESA's Herschel Space Observatory in 2011, and again by Hubble in 2014 with a newer camera. Georgina Pazcoguin is an American ballerina. She is a soloist with the New York City Ballet, and is known for challenging racism in ballet,[2] and for performing on Broadway.

A star cluster in Serpens, the serpent, blazes with the fires of hundreds of young stars. And it's not that far away — just 1400 light-years. That should make it an easy target for telescopes. Yet until a few years ago, no one knew it even existed. That's because the stars are still embedded in their stellar womb — a vast cloud of gas and dust that's cold and dark. It took an infrared telescope in space to peer through the cloud and reveal the stars. The cluster is part of a giant complex of young and developing stars that spans hundreds of light-years. Astronomers had already discovered a large cluster near the center of this complex. And in 2008, they found the new cluster in the southern part of the cloud. Astronomers have seen several hundred “young stellar objects” in Serpens South. Some are stars, but many are proto-stars — collapsing balls of gas that aren't yet shining as true stars. The cluster is embedded in long, dark filaments of gas and dust. The filaments appear to be collapsing toward the stars. And gas from the larger cloud is falling onto the filaments. That's funneling more raw materials toward the cluster, so it's likely to give birth to more stars in the future. Although the cluster is too faint to see, its part of the serpent is in the southern sky at nightfall, above the “teapot” outlined by the stars of Sagittarius. We'll talk about another stellar nursery in the serpent tomorrow.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

A faint star in the serpent is getting closer — in more ways than one. For one thing, it's moving toward us at about a third of a million miles per hour. And for another, every time astronomers recalculate how close the star will pass from the Sun, the distance goes down. Today, Gliese 710 is about 64 light-years away. It's in the constellation Serpens, in the east-southeast in early evening. But the star is fairly small and faint, so it's far too dim to see with the eye alone. Because it's rushing toward the solar system, though, that won't always be the case. In about 1.3 million years, it'll be quite bright — as bright as Mars appeared last fall. A couple of decades ago, astronomers calculated that the star would pass roughly one light-year from Sun and Earth. Since then, a space telescope has provided more accurate readings of its distance and its motion through space. With that, astronomers cut the minimum range to half a light-year, then a quarter. And a few months ago they cut it to just one-sixth of a light-year. By comparison, the closest star today is more than four light-years away. With such a close approach, Gliese 710 should plow through the Oort Cloud — chunks of rock and ice that orbit far from the Sun. The star's gravity could push some of them toward the inner solar system, where they could hit Earth — perhaps wiping out much of our planet's life in that far-distant future.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

A star in the constellation Serpens appears to be staging a colorful demise. It’s surrounded itself with a cloud of gas and dust that glows bright red — the Red Square Nebula. The star is known as MWC 922. And astronomers have been piecing together its story since the discovery of the nebula a decade and a half ago. A study last year, for example, said the system probably consists of two stars. The main star is about 15 times the mass of the Sun. It’s passed the end of its “normal” lifetime, so it’s puffed up to giant proportions. It blows a thick “wind” into space. Its unseen companion helps sculpt that wind into two cones, which flow in opposite directions. We happen to view the system in profile, so we see the outlines of the cones as a bright “X.” There’s also a thin disk of gas between the cones, and a thicker disk outside them — all glowing bright red. If the main star really is as heavy as the study says, then its demise is about to get even more dramatic. The star will explode as a supernova. As debris rams into the material in the Red Square Nebula, the entire system will glow even brighter — sculpted into new and beautiful shapes not by a dying star, but by a dead one. MWC 922 is in Serpens Cauda, the tail of the serpent. It’s about a third of the way up the southeastern sky at nightfall. The star is far too faint to see without a telescope, though — at least for now. More about Serpens tomorrow. Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, gives birth to new stars at a leisurely rate — the equivalent of one Sun per year. But you wouldn’t think the rate was that low if you looked deep into Serpens Cauda — the tail of the serpent. Several stellar nurseries there are busily churning out baby stars — some of which are really big babies. The nurseries all appear to belong to the Serpens Molecular Cloud. Its gas and dust are cold and dark. But a few million years ago, something rippled through the cloud. That caused knots of gas and dust to begin collapsing to form stars. Today, that’s taking place mainly in three big clusters. They’re known as Serpens Main and South, and Westerhout 40. In all, they appear to contain at least 2,000 young stars or future stars — some of the objects are so young that they’re just now igniting the nuclear fires in their cores. And some aren’t even that far along — they’re dark knots that are the seeds of future stars. Most of the stars in these clusters are small and faint. But a few are members of the most impressive classes of stars. One of them, in the center of Westerhout 40, is especially hot and bright. It’s blowing away the nearby gas and dust. That will shut down the birth of new stars close by, but perhaps trigger the birth of stars farther away. And the star has blown a colorful bubble around itself that resembles a butterfly — the result of starbirth in the serpent. More about Serpens tomorrow.

Episodio 33. * Continúan los rigores veraniegos en estas latitudes. Que si temperaturas extremas día tras día, que si atmósfera muy estable que no barre la suciedad ambiental, que si seeing malo, que si la noche no dura nada, que si tarda mucho en oscurecer y amanece muy pronto, que si tal o que si cual, pero el hecho es que nos va la marcha. Apetece. Es muy agradable irte al monte y disfrutar de 20 grados de temperatura como mucho, montar toda la parafernalia telescopera en camiseta y pantalón corto y verte en la necesidad de abrigarte después de cenar porque ya refresca. Tenemos la Via Lactea bien centrada nada más hacerse de noche, con todos esos cúmulos abiertos y nebulosas oscuras que van dándole forma. Es un espectáculo en el verano boreal que podemos disfrutar sin muchos preparativos, incluso a simple vista reclinados sobre una silla o con unos prismáticos ligeros. Además está el tema de que es período mayoritariamente vacacional y hay ganas de resarcirse de períodos de sequía observacional. En definitiva, que estamos más dispuestos y salimos más. Después de hacer una breve visita a la zona del centro galáctico, enseguida derivo el telescopio para visitar objetos más propios del otoño, que realmente es el que tenemos sobre nuestra cabeza una vez que pasa la media noche o poco más. Estos son los objetos que describo en el episodio: NGC6520, Cúmulo abierto en Sagitario M16, Nebulosa asociada a cúmulo abierto en Serpens. “Nebulosa del Águila” M17 ,Nebulosa de emisión en Sagutarius. “Nebulosa del Cisne” NGC6946, Galaxia espiral mixta en Cepheus (galaxia de los fuegos artificiales) junto al cúmulo abierto NGC6939 NGC281, Nebulosa “Pacman” en Cassiopeia NGC7448, Galaxia en Pegasus NGC7479, Galaxia espiral barrada en Pegasus NGC7814, Galaxia de perfil en Pegasus Aunque empecé tarde la observación debido a que la Luna tardó en desaparecer, alargué la sesión hasta que el cielo empezó a clarear a eso de las cinco y pico. * Promo del podcast Cuidadores y Alzheimer http://www.ivoox.com/podcast-cuidadores-alzheimer_sq_f1265933_1.html * Despedida y formas de contacto para consultas, preguntas y dudas: - Web: nestorgm.com/astronomia/ - Twitter: @Luces_X https://twitter.com/Luces_X - Correo: lucex@nestorgm.com - iTunes: https://itun.es/i6Sg8ym - iVoox: http://www.ivoox.com/podcast-luces-extranas_sq_f1234211_1.html - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3iEkTJs8B6sOxsWnUTwgyf?si=t5fTPg_qRnWmfhrdPrzZNA

Download Episode! What to look out, and up, for in May. Jeni's abandoned us this month in favour of research-grade instrumentation so only Paul and Ralph pick their highlights for this month’s skies; starting with the planets on offer to observers and imagers: The planets Jupiter in the evening and Saturn in the morning Three meteor showers peaking this month A pair of comets to observe with amateur telescopes or binoculars Next up, we take a deep sky pick from our list of favourites for this time of year: Ralph – The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules Paul – The Globular Cluster Messier 5 in the constellation Serpens And we finish this sky guide with May's moon phases.

James Webb คือใครหว่า? / 3 ภาพคลาสสิกกับความ EPIC ของกล้อง Hubble / ตอบคำถามทางบ้าน / แถมท้าย ช่วงสองหนุ่มนวดข่าว   SHOW NOTE ใครสนใจสั่งภาพ Hubble เข้ากรอบสวยงามเชิญได้ที่หน้าเพจ https://www.facebook.com/witcastthailand หรืออีเมล witcastthailand@gmail.com ครับ ขอบคุณมากครับ James Webb คือใคร? ทำไมกล้องโทรทรรศน์จึงตั้งชื่อตามเขา -1,2,3 3 ภาพ EPIC ผลงานกล้อง Hubble 2. Pillars of Creation -1,2,3,4 กลุ่มแก๊ซและฝุ่นที่เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของ Eagle Nebula ห่างจากโลก 6500 ปีแสง เป็นโซนที่ทุกอย่างกำลังขมวดแน่นร้อนระอุเข้ามา และให้กำเนิดดาวฤกษ์ดวงใหม่ๆ พระอาทิตย์ของเราก็น่าจะถือกำเนิดแบบนี้เช่นกัน ความใหญ่ของโครงสร้างนี้คือลองดูจุดแดงๆ แต่ละจุดนั่นเทียบเท่ากับดวงอาทิตย์ 1 ดวง หรือใหญ่กว่าเป็นร้อยเท่า (ถ้ามองเป็นนิ้วมือ นิ้วซ้ายสุดนั้นสูงประมาณ 4 ปีแสง) ดาวที่เกิดใหม่จุดชนวนนิวเคลียร์และปลดปล่อยพลังในช่วงคลื่น ultraviolet ออกมามหาศาล ซึ่งแก๊ซรอบๆ ซับไว้แล้วคายแสงออกมาทำให้เกิดความสว่างอย่างที่เห็นในภาพ พลังงานและรังสีสารพัดรูปแบบที่พุ่งพล่านออกมาจากดาวเกิดใหม่ยังพัดให้แก๊ซและฝุ่นควันต่างๆ ปลิวกระจายหายไปเรื่อยๆ อย่างรวดเร็ว จนทุกวันนี้ ตัวเสา Pillars น่าจะถูกซัดหายไปหมดแล้ว ภาพที่เราเห็นจึงเป็นเพียงภาพจากอดีตในจังหวะที่หาดูชมได้ยากนัก Explanation: To celebrate 25 years (1990-2015) of exploring the Universe from low Earth orbit, the Hubble Space Telescope's cameras were used to revisit its most iconic image. The result is this sharper, wider view of the region dubbed the Pillars of Creation, first imaged by Hubble in 1995. Stars are forming deep inside the towering structures. The light-years long columns of cold gas and dust are some 6,500 light-years distant in M16, the Eagle Nebula, toward the constellation Serpens. Sculpted and eroded by the energetic ultraviolet light and powerful winds from M16's cluster of young, massive stars, the cosmic pillars themselves are destined for destruction. But the turbulent environment of star formation within M16, whose spectacular details are captured in this Hubble visible-light snapshot, is likely similar to the environment that formed our own Sun. ถ้าซูมเอาท์ออกมาจะเห็นแบบนี้ ถ่ายในช่วงคลื่น infrared มองทะลุฝุ่นได้ เห็นดาวระยิบมากกว่าเดิม 2.

Though its wingspan covers over 3 light-years, NGC 6302 is no exception. With an estimated surface temperature of about 250,000 degrees C, the dying central star of this particular planetary nebula has become exceptionally hot, shining brightly in ultraviolet light but hidden from direct view by a dense torus of dust. This sharp close-up of the dying star's nebula was recorded in 2009 by the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, and is presented here in reprocessed colors. Cutting across a bright cavity of ionized gas, the dust torus surrounding the central star is near the center of this view, almost edge-on to the line-of-sight. Molecular hydrogen has been detected in the hot star's dusty cosmic shroud. NGC 6302 lies about 4,000 light-years away in the arachnologically correct constellation of the Scorpion (Scorpius). 3.
