The bright Moon washes out the fainter stars tonight. One that shines through is Hamal, the leading light of Aries, the ram. It’s in the east at nightfall. It’s about 65 light-years away. And it’s a giant – bigger, heavier, and brighter than the Sun. The other stars of Aries are tougher to see. And some stars that once formed separate constellations around it are impossible to see. In fact, they were tough to spot even when they were first outlined. To the left of Hamal is Triangulum Minus, the little triangle. It was created by German astronomer Johannes Hevelius, in 1687. Its three stars are all quite faint. So even without the moonlight, they’re visible only under dark skies, away from city lights. Below Hamal is Musca Borealis, the northern fly. It consists of four faint stars. The constellation was created by Petrus Plancius, in 1612. His original name for it was Apes, the bees. Later, another astronomer called it Vespa, the wasp. Hevelius then took over. He kept the buzzy theme, but he went with Musca, the fly. But there was already a fly in the southern hemisphere, so astronomers clarified matters by adding “northern” to the name. In 1930, the International Astronomical Union adopted 88 official constellations, all with well-defined borders. The little triangle was incorporated into Triangulum. And the stars of the northern fly became part of Aries – buzzing around the rump of the ram. Script by Damond Benningfield

Autumn’s evening skies offer some constellations with great names, intriguing back-stories, and beautiful star patterns. And then there’s Triangulum. As the name suggests, it consists of three main stars that form a triangle – an accurate if dull description of one of the smallest constellations. The triangle looks like a thin wedge. And there’s an odd coincidence involving the stars at the base of the wedge: One of them is precisely third magnitude, while the other is precisely fourth magnitude. A lower number means a brighter star, so the third-magnitude star is the brighter of the two. Both stars are easily visible from dark skywatching sites, but more difficult targets from the city. The brighter star is Beta Trianguli. It’s actually a binary – two stars bound together by gravity. The system is about 125 light-years from Earth. The other, Gamma Trianguli, is a little closer. The star at the tip of the wedge, Alpha Trianguli, is closer still. It’s in the process of swelling up to become a giant. Perhaps the most impressive feature in Triangulum is M33, the Triangulum Galaxy. Through binoculars, it looks like a fuzzy star not far from Alpha. But that little smudge of light is a pinwheel of tens of billions of stars – three million light-years away. Triangulum is in the east-northeast at nightfall. And this is a good time to look for it, because there’s no moonlight to overpower its faint stars. Script by Damond Benningfield

Building parallels between technology and the human imagination, Masande Ntshanga's conversation with Magalí Armillas-Tiseyra explains how cities are like machines and how South African history resembles some of the most sinister versions of techno-futurism. Masande is the author of two novels: The Reactive, winner of a Betty Trask Award in 2018, and Triangulum, nominated for the 2020 Nommo Awards for Best Novel in 2020 by the African Speculative Fiction Society. His responses to Magalí's questions interweave autobiography and history, showing how when you venture into “underwritten spaces” in South Africa, realism starts to seem like speculation. Masande moves from playing bootleg Nintendo and hacking Lego sets in Ciskei, a “homeland” under the apartheid government's Bantustan system, to data mining and novel writing in the global cities of Cape Town and Johannesburg. All the while, technology is never something “we're resigned to experiencing” and “endorsing” in fiction—it can be a medium of contemplation as well as conquest. Masande and Magalí are also interested in the queer intimacies of young people busy forming their own “micro-tribes.” Especially young people who are reading the global phenomenon that is Stephen King by moonlight, when they might be just a little too young for it. Mentions: Masande Ntshanga, The Reactive, Triangulum, and the short story “Space” Samuel R. Delany, Equinox “Hauntology,” from Jacques Derrida in Spectres of Marx Ciskei Masande Ntshanga's essay “Technologies of Conquest” in The Creative Arts: On Practice, Making, and Meaning (Dryad Press, 2024) Stephen King, The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger Bonus mention: Lost Libraries, Burnt Archives, an edited volume of short stories, artworks, poems and essays that engage with the tragic destruction of the African Studies Library at the University of Cape Town in April 2021.

t is the largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, Triangulum, and several smaller galaxies. The Andromeda Galaxy is the largest nearby galaxy to the Milky Way, with a diameter of approximately 220,000 light-years. It is visible to the naked eye on a clear night as a faint, fuzzy patch in the constellation Andromeda.

A star in a nearby galaxy appears to be going through a rare transition — from a monster to a super-monster. If that's the case, it could be setting up for another transition: blasting itself to bits as a supernova. The star is in the galaxy M33, in the constellation Triangulum, which is in the east-northeast at nightfall. M33 is less than three million light-years away — a next-door neighbor. The galaxy is a beautiful spiral. We see it at a bit of an angle, so it looks like an octopus twirling in a cosmic ballet. The galaxy is home to perhaps 40 billion stars, and it's giving birth to many more. Some of the new stars belong to class “O” — the biggest, brightest, and heaviest class. Such stars burn for only a few million years before they explode. Some of those stars undergo a brief transition before they blow up. They become Wolf-Rayet stars. They're the hottest and brightest stars of all, but they explode quickly. Before they explode, they blow huge amounts of gas into space — enough to make several stars as massive as the Sun in less than a million years. The winds enwrap the star in clouds of gas and dust, and that's one way astronomers identify them. A recent study identified several chemical elements around a monster star in M33. One of those elements has only recently become visible, suggesting that the star is undergoing rapid change — from a monster into a super-monster.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio! En esta ocasión, tenemos el placer de contar con la participación de la empresa española NEMIX (https://nemix.es/), referente nacional en el despliegue de Infraestructuras tecnológicas, y que este año celebra su 30 aniversario. Los invitados de hoy son José Juan Llanos, CEO de NEMIX, e Ismael Barco, director técnico y CTO de la empresa. Juntos, exploraremos el emocionante mundo de la computación cuántica, uno de los campos tecnológicos más prometedores en la actualidad. Comenzamos con una introducción en la que nuestros invitados explican los conceptos básicos de la computación cuántica y las ventajas que ofrece en comparación con la computación tradicional. Mientras los ordenadores convencionales utilizan bits que pueden tener un valor de 0 o 1, los ordenadores cuánticos operan con qubits que pueden estar en una superposición de estados. Esto les otorga una capacidad de crecimiento exponencial al agregar más qubits. Durante la conversación, se mencionan diversas tecnologías utilizadas para construir ordenadores cuánticos, desde aquellas que operan a temperatura ambiente, la resonancia magnética nuclear (NMR), hasta las que requieren superconductores a temperaturas cercanas al cero absoluto. Cada una de ellas tiene sus ventajas y desafíos asociados. El producto estrella de NEMIX es un ordenador cuántico portátil de 2 qubits basado en tecnología de Resonancia Magnética Nuclear (RMN), que ya están siendo utilizados por varias universidades europeas para investigación y educación cuántica entre las que se pueden destacar: • España – Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera – Grupo de investigación en matemáticas computacionales: equipo Triangulum (3 qubits). • UK – Universidad Trent Nottingham – Educación. Equipo Gemini Mini: https://twitter.com/qureca/status/1617501135350419456 • Francia – Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Aplicada de Rennes – Entrenamiento y Educación: https://www.insa-rennes.fr/actualites/details-actualite/la-revolution-de-linformatique-quantique-un-module-denseignement-a-la-rentree-2022-2023.html Este equipo de SpinQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qdsDvTZe64) no necesita instalaciones especiales por lo que su portabilidad lo convierte en una herramienta accesible y versátil. Su coste ronda los 8.000 euros y permite realizar experimentos básicos de computación cuántica sin grandes requerimientos. También se aborda iniciativa Quantum Spain (https://portalayudas.mineco.gob.es/Quantum%20Spain/Paginas/Index.aspx) del gobierno para impulsar la investigación cuántica, que contempla ayudas y subvenciones. Se compara la inversión en investigación entre España y otros países como Francia, destacando la necesidad de asignar más recursos a los científicos españoles. Además, exploramos las perspectivas sobre cómo evolucionarán la computación cuántica y la computación GPU en paralelo durante los próximos años. Se resalta que ahora hay una ventana de oportunidad para desarrollar algoritmos cuánticos antes de que la tecnología se masifique. También se anima a investigadores y estudiantes a introducirse en este campo. En definitiva, un episodio muy interesante para conocer el estado actual de la computación cuántica, la labor de empresas españolas innovadoras como NEMIX y las oportunidades que ofrece esta tecnología incipiente para la investigación y la educación.

«For meg har science fiction som sjanger alltid vært koblet til kritikk av maktstrukturer,» har forfatter Masande Ntshanga uttalt. Som ung leste han mye science fiction, og hans seneste roman, Triangulum, henter flere elementer fra sci-fi-sjangeren.Science fiction, spekulativ fiksjon og afrofuturisme er litterære sjangre som er på frammarsj i mange land, inkludert her i Norge og i Ntshangas hjemland, Sør-Afrika.Hva er det som gjør science fiction til en foretrukket form for å utforske mulige framtidsscenarier eller plukke fra hverandre dagens maktstrukturer?I dette personlige foredraget vil Ntshanga snakke om hva science fiction-bøker har betydd for ham som leser og forfatter, og om sjangerens betydning for forfattere som vil forestille seg en annen verden.Masande Ntshanga er en sør-afrikansk forfatter, poet og redaktør for tidsskriftet New Contrast Magazine. For debutromanen The Reactive vant han debutprisen Betty Trask Award, mens andreboka Triangulum ble nominert til Nommo-prisen for beste spekulativ fiksjonsroman skrevet av en afrikaner.

The year is 2043, and an astronomer at the South-African Space Agency receives a package filled with documents, which contain a warning that the earth will end in 10 years.The documents are diary entries and audio tapes by a girl, relaying first her adolescence in the 1990s, when she explores her sexuality and tries to find her mother, who disappeared without a trace when she was little, and then moving to her daily life as an adult.Through the history of the girl, we see how South-Africa's dark past is still shaping its present, and mirrored in a dystopian future, where environmental issues are rampant, and social issues is solved by creating work camps across the country.In his novel Triangulum, Masande Ntshanga combines different genres in a story which illustrates, convincingly, that South-Africa's dystopian past is far from a closed chapter.Ntshanga is the author of two novels and a chapbook. His debut The Reactive won him the debut prize the Betty Trask Award, while Triangulum was nominated for the Nommo Award for Best Speculative Fiction Novel by and African.At the House of Literature, Ntshanga is joined by editor and translator Julia Wiedlocha for a conversation about adolescence and technology, future dystopias, and the dark shadow of colonialism.The event is supported by NORAD.

Året er 2043, og en astronom ved det sør-afrikanske romsenteret får tilsendt en pakke full av dokumenter, med en advarsel om at verden vil gå under om ti år.Dokumentene er dagboksnotater og lydfiler som skildrer oppveksten til en jente, først på 1990-tallet, mens hun lever ut ungdomstiden, utforsker egen seksualitet og forsøker å spore opp moren, som forsvant sporløst da hun var liten, og deretter når jenta har blitt voksen.Gjennom jentas historie ser vi hvordan Sør-Afrikas mørke fortid er med på å forme nåtiden, og hvordan den speiles i en dyster framtid, der miljøproblemene florerer og fattigdomsproblemer skal løses med å etablere arbeidsleire omkring i landet.I romanen Triangulum fletter Masande Ntshanga sammen ulike sjangre i en fortelling som på overbevisende vis illustrerer at Sør-Afrikas dystopiske fortid ikke er et tilbakelagt kapittel.Ntshanga er forfatter av to romaner. For debuten The Reactive vant han debutprisen Betty Trask Award, mens Triangulum ble nominert til Nommo-prisen for beste spekulativ fiksjonsroman skrevet av en afrikaner.På Litteraturhuset møter Ntshanga forlegger og oversetter Julia Wiedlocha til en samtale om oppvekst og teknologi, framtidsdystopier og kolonialismens mørke skygge.Arrangementet er støttet av NORAD.

«I've always found Science Fiction to be a form that's irrevocably linked to critiques of power and societal structures,» writer Masande Ntshanga has said. During his adolescence, he read a lot of science fiction, and his latest novel, Triangulum, makes use of several elements from the genre.Science fiction, speculative fiction and afrofuturism are literary genres on the rise on many countries, including Norway and Ntshanga's home country, South Africa. What makes science fiction the preferred genre in which to explore possible future scenarios, or in which to pick apart contemporary power structures?In this personal lecture, Ntshanga will talk about what science fiction literature has meant to him as a reader and writer, and about the significance of the genre for writers who want to imagine another world.Masande Ntshanga is a South African writer, poet and editor of New Contrast Magazine. For his debut novel The Reactive, he was awarded the Betty Trask Award, while his second novel, Triangulum, was nominated for the Nommo Prize for Best Speculative Fiction Novel written by an African.

In this episode, we explore the planets.  Mercury and Venus make their reappearance in the evening skies, while Saturn and Jupiter, both past opposition are beginning to fade.  Mars reaches opposition this month and for most of the US will be occulted (covered) by the Moon on December 7-8.  We also explore the constellations Cassiopeia and Triangulum.   A packed, but fun episode!

LISTEN as a podcast on Podbean, Stitcher, or iTunes Social Media: @mrwebbpv on Twitter and Instagram @pvplanetarium on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram             Thanksgiving, 3 planets, a meteor shower (with the possibility of a storm), and a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE.  November is going to be great!          Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you're looking at, why it's so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.     Naked-eye PLANETS Sunset Saturn – About 30˚ above the horizon in the S. Fairly dim, but still brighter than all the stars around it. Jupiter – SUPER bright in the SE after sunset. Just find the brightest point of light in that direction, and you've got it. Throughout the night Saturn & Jupiter – Starting off in the SE, with brightest Jupiter on the left and dimmer Saturn about 40˚ to the right, these two march westward through the night, with Saturn setting around 11pm and Jupiter setting around 2am. Mars – Rises at about 8:30pm in the beginning of the month, and just after sunset by the end. Look East early in the evening for a dull reddish dot in the sky, above Orion and between the tips of Taurus's horns.  Morning Mars – By morning, Mars will have moved to the S or SW, still between Taurus's horns above Orion, about 2/3 of the way up the sky.   EVENTS First Quarter Moon – 1st (Visible until midnight) Evening Gibbous (Mostly lit, after Sunset) Full Moon – 8th (Visible all night) Waning Gibbous (Mostly lit, rises later at night) Last Quarter Moon – 16th (Visible midnight into the morning) Morning Crescents (look East in the AM) New Moon – 23rd (darkest skies) Evening Crescents (look West after Sunset) First Quarter Moon – 30th (Visible until midnight)   4th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Moon, Jupiter – A waxing gibbous Moon is below Jupiter by just 3˚.  Visible all night. 6th – Daylight Savings Time Ends  8th – TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE – Only the West coast of the U.S. can pretty much see all of it, with the rest of the U.S. seeing only portions before sunrise.  Here's the game plan:            4:09am EST – Partial Eclipse Begins – Just look West to find the Full Moon, and watch as the Earth's shadow appears to nibble on the Moon from the top down, but a little off-center to the left. This phase will last about an hour, and the Moon will drop about 10˚ closer to the horizon. (You might hear that the penumbral portion of the eclipse starts before this.  While true, it is essentially undetectable with the naked eye.)            5:16am EST – Totality Begins – Now the umbra of the Earth's shadow is completely engulfing the Moon, and only the light from all the sunrises and sunsets on Earth are illuminating our orbital partner's surface, making it appear anywhere from dark yellow to orange to red to brown.  This phase will last almost an hour and a half, leading into dawn for those of us on the east coast.            6:42am EST – Totality ends, Partiality begins again – now the shadow leaves the Moon, starting to expose its surface from the top down.            7:49am EST – Partial Eclipse Ends, but the Sun is up and the Moon is setting.         Other things to notice during the eclipse As the Moon gets darker, more and more stars will be visible The Pleiades are above the Moon Taurus is up and to the left of the Moon Orion is off to the left of Taurus 10th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Moon, Mars – The Moon is 6˚ above and to the right of Mars.  Visible in the NE around 8:30pm, and high in the W by sunrise. 17th – 18th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour), meteor shower can have some wonderful years.  Could this be one of those years? MAYBE.  Some predict we could get up to 250-300 meteors per hour after midnight on the 18th.  Am I banking on it? No. But am I going out anyway? Absolutely.  I wouldn't want to miss it, and I don't need to set anything up to witness a meteor storm. Some advice for watching:     Find a dark location and lie down in a reclining chair or hammock     Look around Leo's head.  That is where the radiant is - where the meteors will appear to be coming from.     The strategy to observe this year is to get out there whenever you can, but the later you stay up, the more you'll see, since the radiant will be higher and you'll be closer to the peak.  Check the weather to see if the skies will be clear Adapt your eyes to the dark by staying away from light sources or using a red light if you need to look at a star chart or not trip over something.  If you're feeling extra nerdy, do a scientific meteor count (S&T and IMO) That said, you never know when a nice meteor will burn up, to take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward. 25th – Thanksgiving – After feasting, get out and find the Moon and 3 planets!  A two day old Moon will be visible just after sunset, but not for long, maybe an hour, in the SW.  Get a clear view of the horizon.  As dusk darkens, find brightest light Jupiter in the SE, bright-ish light Saturn in the South, and Mars very low in the ENE, rising as the night progresses.  Now is also a good time to use that scope for Andromeda and the Pleiades. 28th – 29th – CLOSE ENCOUNTER – Moon, Saturn – The crescent Moon is just 7˚ below Saturn on the 28th, and 10˚ to the left of Saturn on the 29th. Visible after sunset in the SSW, before 11pm.    CONSTELLATIONS... Use a sky map from www.skymaps.com to help you out. After Dinner: Pegasus & Andromeda - Look pretty much straight up you'll be able to see the Great Square of Pegasus, with Andromeda curving off of one corner. If your skies are decently dark, you might catch the faint fuzz that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Before Bed: Andromeda, Perseus, Triangulum, Aries – Find Pegasus off to the West a little bit to find the cornucopia shaped Andromeda again. Keep following the cornucopia shape to find Perseus, which has kind of a similar shape, except opening up toward the southern horizon and the Pleiades.  Below Perseus and Andromeda will be Triangulum, a small thin triangle, and Aries the Ram, which looks more like a curved walking cane on its side. Before Work: Orion – Look southwest to find the vertical bow-tie that is Orion the Hunter.

Almost every galaxy is giving birth to at least a few stars. But a giant stellar nursery on the rim of M33, the Triangulum Galaxy, takes starbirth to the extreme. It is giving birth to thousands of stars — including many that are among the hottest, brightest, and most massive yet seen. M33 is the third-largest member of the Local Group, a collection of scores of galaxies. The Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are its largest members. M33 is about half the diameter of the Milky Way, and contains perhaps one-tenth as many stars. Several loosely wound spiral arms wrap around its nucleus. The arms contain huge amounts of gas and dust — the raw materials for new stars. Much of it congregates in a collection of stellar nurseries. The largest is NGC 604. It's about 6,000 times brighter than the Orion Nebula, the closest major nursery to Earth. NGC 604 is only a few million years old, but it's already given birth to about 200 superstars — up to 120 times the mass of the Sun. Many of them will explode. M33 is about three million light-years away, in the constellation Triangulum, which is low in the east-northeast as night falls. Under especially dark skies, the galaxy is just visible to those with good eyesight. Everyone else needs help to see this busy galaxy.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

On September 1, 1969 in the county of Berkshire in Massachusetts 4 residents encountered something from another world.  Ships in the night sky, beams of light, missing time and for one child disappearing before their neighbours eyes. Join us as we discuss the Berkshire UFO incident and what the visitors may have been doing in Massachusetts that night.

It is estimated that there are approximately 1600 people missing from National Parks.  Seemingly, vanishing from thin air, never to be seen again, dead or alive.  Join us as we look at two cases from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and spat of disappearances around the Green Mountain National Forest in an area often referred to as the Bennington Triangle.  Are these people victims of foul play, victims of their own misadventure or victims of something more sinister. 

In 1975 Dr. Raymond Moody published his book "Life After Life" introducing the world to the Near Death Experience phenomenon.  Join us as we discuss the research surrounding near death experiences, the common traits shared by experiencers and the reason why a near death experience is actually proof of the existence of life after death. 

Reports of a 60ft long black shark inhabiting the Sea of Cortez have been passed down for generations.  Stories of it attacking boats, swallowing sea lion groups whole, turning the sea crimson red.  But what is this Black Demon really? Is it a megalodon?  A misidentified living creature? or something entirely different. Join us as we investigate the Black Demon story, recount witness statement and discuss whether a giant man eating shark could actually be roaming the waters of the Sea of Cortez.

It's 2022, what does this year have in store for you?  The belief in the magico-philosophical significance of numbers has been around since antiquity with the idea that the Universe is an expression of mathematical relationships, that numbers are sacred and can be used for divination.  Join us as we share how to calculate your personal year number, what the vibration of each number means and how to get the most out of this year.  

The belly-slitting witch, a giant child eating cat and the goat man that drowns misbehaved children. Since the Christmas season is upon us, join us as we delve into some of the more  dark and terrifying Christmas stories from history.  

Missing ships, missing planes and UFOs. The Marysburgh Vortex may be the connection between them all. Located in Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America, the Marysburgh Vortex has been claiming lives for over a hundred years. Join us as we explore the history of the vortex and the possible cause of the anomalies surrounding it.

In 1983 Don Decker made it rain...in his friends living room. Was this a case of psychokinesis? hydrokinesis? or something else? And how was he able to do it. Join us as we dive into the story of Don Decker, his ability to make it rain and the accounts of the numerous credible witnesses who had seen it for themselves.

The first teachings on the chakras were written in the Upanishads around 1500 - 1 BCE, the chakra system followed in the west and the concepts surrounding it didn't emerge until the 1880's.  Join us as we strip back the western version of the chakra system and kundalini belief to their foundational teachings and then discuss how they are related to modern scientific concepts of how the universe works and how to apply them to your reality.

Well, partially…   Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter are rocking the sunsets, we technically have a meteor shower, turkey day night will be awesome, and, most importantly, we can witness an almost total lunar eclipse.          Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you're looking at, why it's so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.    Naked-eye PLANETS... Sunset – Venus, Saturn, Jupiter Venus (SW) – Once again, staying about 10˚ above the horizon all month, Venus is a glorious sight for those looking West after sunset. Venus sets around 8:30pm. Saturn, Jupiter (S) – Throughout November, Saturn and Jupiter will appear in the South right as it gets dark. Excitingly, they move closer and closer to Venus in the SW until they are almost equally separated by the 30th.  Jupiter will be the bright point of light on the left, with Saturn about 15˚ to the right.    In the beginning of the month Saturn sets at midnight, with Jupiter trailing at 1am.  By the end of the month, Saturn and Jupiter set in the SW at about 10pm and 11:30pm, respectively. Throughout the night – None Morning – None   EVENTS... Morning Crescents (look East in the AM) New Moon – 4th (darkest skies) Evening Crescents (look West after Sunset) First Quarter Moon – 11th (Visible until midnight) Evening Gibbous (Mostly lit, after Sunset) Full Moon – 19th (Visible all night) Waning Gibbous (Mostly lit, rises later at night) Last Quarter Moon – 27th (Visible from midnight into the morning)   2nd – 3rd – Close Encounter – Moon, Mercury – Even though this would be a tough find, maybe you'll get lucky.  Look ESE after 6:30am, but before sunrise.  You might catch a glimpse of a VERY thin crescent Moon VERY low on the horizon.  If you're even luckier, you'll see Mercury just 3˚ (pinky-widths held at arm's length) below it.  In this moment you are looking at two objects in the solar system that, when shown up-close pictures, are often confused for each other. 7th – Daylight Savings Time Ends 7th – 12th – Close Encounter – Moon, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter – What a great week of encounters!  Imagine the planetary setup.  Venus is low in the SW, but SUPER bright and easy to find.  Hold your fist out in front of you with your pinky and pointer fingers extended, and move three of these widths (15˚ each) up and to the left and you'll find the pretty darn bright planet Jupiter (the brightest part of that area of the sky).  If you backtrack 1/3 of the way toward Venus, you'll find the modestly bright Saturn.  But starting on the 7th, a very thin crescent Moon joins this party.  On the 7th, the Moon is all the way to right of them, just 4˚ to the right of Venus.   Each night the Moon will move to the left 13˚, and get a bit thicker.  Hence, on the 8th, it will be between Venus and Saturn, but closer to Venus.  On the 9th, still in between, but closer to Saturn.  Then on the 10th, the Moon moves to about 5˚ below and to the left of Saturn.  On the 11th 5˚ below and to the left of Jupiter, and now a First Quarter Moon.  Finally, on the 12th, the Moon starts migrating away from our bright planets, being 15˚ away from Jupiter. 17th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour), meteor shower can have some wonderful years. This is not one of them Why? We essentially have an almost Full Moon, so there's far too much light pollution interfering with our observing.  That said, you never know when a nice meteor will burn up, to take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward. 19th – Partial Lunar Eclipse (almost Total) – This one snuck up on me! 97% of the Moon's surface will be in the shadow of the Earth at the deepest part of this eclipse, making it a partial lunar eclipse, meaning that 3% of the Moon (just a sliver) will be lit up, while the rest is somewhere between a dark yellow and brown.  North America can pretty much see all of it, with the rest of the world seeing only portions.  Here's the game plan:            2:18am EST – Partial Eclipse Begins – Just look West-ish to find the Full Moon, and watch as the Earth's shadow appears to nibble on the Moon from the top down, but a little off-center to the right. It will take about 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach maximum eclipse. (You might hear that the penumbral portion of the eclipse starts before this.  While true, it is essentially undetectable with the naked eye.)            4:04am EST – Maximum Eclipse – 97% of the surface is in the shadow of the Earth.  With your naked eye, you should easily be able to see the bright portion lit up on the left, with the rest ranging from dark yellow to brown.  With a camera, these distinctions are harder to pick up. For the next roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes, the shadow appears to move down and away from the Moon.            5:47am EST – Partial Eclipse Ends         Other things to notice during the eclipse As the Moon gets darker, more and more stars will be visible The Pleiades are up and to the right of the Moon Taurus is up and to the left of the Moon Orion is off to the left of Taurus If you're in the Eastern U.S., the Moon will finish at about 15˚ above the horizon, leaving some room for good foreground objects in pictures 25th – Thanksgiving – After feasting on food, feast your eyes on the sky:  Venus will be super bright low in the SW after sunset until about 7pm., with Saturn and Jupiter up higher and longer (9:30pm and 10:50pm set times).  Definitely worth a good look through the telescope.  At about 9pm the Waning Gibbous Moon will rise in the ENE, joining the Fall and Winter constellations of Pegasus, Andromeda, Taurus, Orion, and Gemini.  With the corn all cut down, watching the Moon rise and turn orange to white amidst the stars will be truly enjoyable.   CONSTELLATIONS... Use a sky map from www.skymaps.com to help you out. After Dinner: Pegasus & Andromeda - Look pretty much straight up you'll be able to see the Great Square of Pegasus, with Andromeda curving off of one corner. If your skies are decently dark, you might catch the faint fuzz that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Before Bed: Andromeda, Perseus, Triangulum, Aries – Find Pegasus off to the West a little bit to find the cornucopia shaped Andromeda again. Keep following the cornucopia shape to find Perseus, which has kind of a similar shape, except opening up toward the southern horizon and the Pleiades.  Below Perseus and Andromeda will be Triangulum, a small thin triangle, and Aries the Ram, which looks more like a curved walking cane on its side. Before Work: Orion – Look southwest to find the vertical bow-tie that is Orion the Hunter.

This month we talk about the Triangulum Galaxy, the smaller neighbor of the Milky Way and Andromeda. Follow us at https://www.facebook.com/BackyardAstronomerAZ https://www.facebook.com/prescottrockstars https://www.facebook.com/manzanitains  

Michael C. Rockefeller went missing in November of 1961 while travelling in Western Netherlands New Guinea. There have been many stories about what happened to Michael, such as he drowned, that he was eaten by predators, that he was rescued and held captive by tribespeople or that he was eaten by cannibals. However, reported sightings and recently discovered footage from 1969 of a tall, thin, white man within a group of 800+ tribesmen may hold the key to what really happened to Rockefeller. Join us as we delve into the story of Michael C. Rockefeller and his mysterious disappearance.

In 1953, George Van Tassel was visited by a UFO in the Mojave desert. The occupants of the UFO gave him the plans for a structure that would solve the problem of our short life spans here on earth.  George Van Tassel would go on, with the help of others to build the structure, the Integratron. In January 1978 Van Tassel announced the Integratron was 90% complete. In February 1978 he was dead.  Join us as we delve into the story of the Integratron and the man who built it.  

In the mid 2000's, one family had an otherworldly encounter with fantastic beasts. Join us as we recount the story of the Palmyra Wolf Pack. We'll discuss the paranormal incidents that led to the encounter and the unique environmental circumstances that may have contributed to it's occurrence. 

Hermes tries to make some order in the night sky in spite of Zeus' meddling. Centuries later the Starlink mega-constellations disrupt everything…. Starring Chris Mack as Hermes and Dario Costa as Zeus. Written and directed by Bibi Jacob. Production and sound by Geoff Chong. A big thank you to Jean-Paul Palmyre at Studio Quali'sons, Paris.

Join us as we dive into the US Army Report on the Gateway Process. Written in 1983, the report outlines how energy works, how the universe works, how human consciousness works and how to transcend time and space with altered states of consciousness. 

Join us as we discuss Dr. J. Allen Hynek's Close Encounter scale, the scale used to categorize UFO Events. We also discuss the expansion of the scale and the Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind protocol developed by Dr. Steven Greer to facilitate communication with extraterrestrials.

Daimon, the word used to describe supernatural beings from ancient history; divine beings, guardians and protectors of humans and their fates. Why don't we hear about them anymore? We do, but they're more commonly known by another name now...Demons.  Join us as we delve into the history of the term daimon and how it was depreciated over centuries to eventually become the term we are more familiar with now, demon and why this term is incorrect as well as misleading.   

These savage, cannibalistic creatures roam the forests of northeastern North America.  Join us as we delve into the folklore of the Algonquin peoples surrounding the Wendigo, the science that proves they really can exist and how this myth has a history in reality. 

Since 1992, two homeowners in California have been communicating with an entity through Polaroids. Join us, as we dive into the story of John Huckert and John Matkowsky. We'll discuss how the communication with the spirit started, how it evolved over time and even though being thoroughly investigated how it has never been unequivocally debunked.   

In 2002 Bill Vaile saw a creature scurry about in his house.  This would be the beginning of his experience with other worldly creatures plaguing his home. Join us as we recount the story of Bill Vaile. We'll discuss the details of his story and outline the information that has led us to conclude that these creatures are Gremlins and they enter his home through a portal in his bedroom closet. 

In 1966 Woodrow Derenberger would be stopped on Interstate 77 while on his way home by an other than earthly spaceship and an intriguing other than earthly man. Join us as we recount the story of Mr. Derenberger's visitations with the man from Lanulos, Indrid Cold. We discuss how the relationship between Derenberger and Cold started and then developed as well as what Derenberger learned about Lanulos during his time there. We also clarify the poor and misleading descriptions of Indrid Cold as well as explain the confused and misrepresented connection between Indrid Cold and the Mothman.

Join us as we discuss what energy healing is, how energy healing works and why the thousands of healing modalities out there aren't necessary to be a great energy channeler.  We'll talk about some of the modalities we've learned as well as the common elements that unite them. 

A brief description of the notable celestial objects located in the constellation of Triangulum.

WATCH this on YouTubeLISTEN as a podcast on Podbean, Stitcher, or iTunes Social Media: @mrwebbpv on Twitter and Instagram @pvplanetarium on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram            November this year is quite the month of change.  We have an election, daylight savings time ends, and the nights quickly get longer and longer.  All five naked-eye planets are easily visible at different parts of the night, the Leonids will grace the mid-month skies, and the Moon makes its monthly visits in line with the planets.          Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.    Naked-eye PLANETS... Sunset – Saturn, Jupiter Saturn, Jupiter (S) – Just look South or Southwest after sunset, but before 10:30pm (8:30pm at the end of the month) and find the two really bright points of light fairly close together. In fact, they start off 5˚ apart (three finger-widths) and end up on November 30th being just 2˚ apart (two pinky-widths).  To find Jupiter, just look for the brightest spot no more than 30˚ above the horizon.  Saturn will be to the left.  These make a great pair for getting your binoculars and telescopes out.  You can see the rings of Saturn and moons of Jupiter fairly easily, and you don’t have to do too much to switch from one planet to the other.  In fact, get your practice in now, because on December 21st, these two planets will have a brilliant conjunction! Throughout the night – Mars Mars (ESE-S-W) – Look East or South East around sunset or South around 10:30pm to find the non-twinkling reddish-orange dot, much brighter than everything around it. If you’re looking in the morning, look West, but make sure you get out there before it sets at 5am at the beginning of the month and 3am at the end of the month. Morning – Venus, Mercury Venus (E) – Venus rises in the East around at 4:30am on Nov 1st, and 5:45am on the 30th. Bright, brilliant, and gorgeous. Get your looks in now, since it dives closer and closer to the Sun through December, and stays close to the Sun until Summer of 2021. Mercury (E) – Always tough to see since it’s close to the Sun, but this is a good month to find it, especially right in the middle of November when it’s furthest from the Sun. Get out to look after 6:45am but before sunrise about an hour later and look ESE. It will be low on the horizon, down and to the left of Venus, and dimmer than Venus but brighter than surrounding stars.  The last week of November it dives back toward the Sun and is lower and harder to find.   EVENTS... Waning Gibbous (Mostly lit, rises later at night) Last Quarter Moon – 8th (Visible from midnight into the morning) Morning Crescents (look East in the AM) New Moon – 15th (darkest skies) Evening Crescents (look West after Sunset) First Quarter Moon – 22nd (Visible until midnight) Evening Gibbous (Mostly lit, after Sunset) Full Moon – 30th (Visible all night)   11th – 13th – Close Encounter – Moon, Venus, Mercury – Make sure you have a nice view of the Eastern horizon at least 45 minutes before sunrise (6:45am). Venus and the Moon should be easy to spot, with Venus being VERY bright, and the Moon being its big beautiful crescent.  On the 11th, the Moon will be about two fist-widths above Venus, with Mercury below Venus.  On the 12th, the Moon will move to within 6˚ or about three finger-widths above Venus. THE BEST PART is on the morning of Friday the 13th! The Moon will be BETWEEN Venus and Mercury!   17th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak (10-15 per hour), meteor shower can have some wonderful years. 2020 appears to be decent. Why? We essentially have a New Moon, so there’s no extra light pollution to interfere with our observing.  This year, you want to get up early in the morning on Thursday the 17th, between 3:00 and 5:30am, and take a nice look at the sky in general, noting that the meteors will appear to go from the radiant in the head of Leo and outward.   18th – 19th – Close Encounter – Moon, Jupiter, Saturn – Get out after sunset and find the Moon toward the Southwest, low on the horizon, and a thin waxing crescent. On the 18th, the Moon will be down and to the right of Jupiter, the brightest point nearby, with Saturn to the left of Jupiter and also bright.  Then, on the 19th, the Moon moves to the left of Saturn, forming a very flat triangle with Jupiter and Saturn.  Definitely an easy and worthwhile sight, but get out there before 8pm when they set.   25th – Close Encounter – Moon, Mars – Get out there after sunset and find the waxing Gibbous Moon in the SE with red, ruddy Mars close and bright just 5˚ above it.      CONSTELLATIONS... Use a sky map from www.skymaps.com to help you out. After Dinner: Pegasus & Andromeda - Look pretty much straight up you’ll be able to see the Great Square of Pegasus, with Andromeda curving off of one corner. If your skies are decently dark, you might catch the faint fuzz that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Before Bed: Andromeda, Perseus, Triangulum, Aries – Find Pegasus off to the West a little bit to find the cornucopia shaped Andromeda again.

WATCH this on YouTubeLISTEN as a podcast on Podbean, Stitcher, or iTunes          Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.  November is turning out to be an AWESOME month for astronomy with lots of events of different types spread throughout. Every naked eye planet is visible, Mercury transits the Sun, 3 close encounter lineups including one on Thanksgiving will happen, and perhaps we’ll be graced with some bonus meteors from the annual Leonid meteor shower.   EVENTS... First Quarter Moon – 4th (Visible until midnight) Full Moon – 12th (Visible all night) Last Quarter Moon – 19th (Visible from midnight into the morning) New Moon – 26th (darkest skies)   1st – 3rd – Close Encounter – Moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury – You won’t see a great lineup like this very often at all! (Don’t ask me when.) On the 1st, the Moon will be between Saturn and Jupiter, with Venus and Mercury down by the horizon, barely visible in the SW. The next two nights the Moon will move off to the left of everything.  3rd – Daylight Savings Time Ends – It’ll get dark faster at night, and in the mornings, the light will come earlier 11th – Transit of Mercury – Mercury will pass directly in front the Sun, from our perspective, which won’t happen again until 2032! The transit begins at about 7:35am EST, reaches midpoint at 10:19am EST, and ends at 1:04pm EST.  How can you see this? DON’T STARE AT THE SUN WITHOUT FILTERS. You’ll at least need eclipse glasses to catch it, but Mercury is very small, so many people are saying you won’t see it without magnification. That means you need to look up white light filters for a camera zoom lens or telescope (Baader makes them) or a way to project the Sun and Mercury onto a sheet of paper using your telescope. A great article covering everything is here: https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/skills/transit-mercury-11-november-2019-what-how-see/ 17th – Leonid Meteor Shower – This annual, weak, meteor shower can have some wonderful years. 2019 does not appear to be one of them, but there still is some hope. You only have until 9pm to get out, since the Moon will be rising at that time. It’d be nice if the Moon wasn’t there, since the radiant would be able to rise and give us a higher number of meteors visible, but getting out there anyway should yield a couple for you.  23rd – 25th – Close Encounter – Moon, Mars, Mercury – Get out after 6:20am on the 23rd, and you’ll find a thin crescent Moon 13˚ above red Mars, which is about 10˚ above dim Mercury. On the 24th, the Moon will be just 3˚ to the left of Mars, making a nice triangle with Mercury. The 25th will be the hardest day to catch this, since the Moon rises at 6:37am, right near sunrise, but with Mercury and Mars above it. 23rd, 24th - Close Encounter – Jupiter & Venus – Get out after sunset by 5pm and find two bright planets about 10˚ above the SW horizon, only about 1˚ apart! Venus will be below Jupiter on both nights.  27th – 30th – Thanksgiving Close Encounter – Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn – A THIRD great lineup for the month! Jupiter is lowest, with Venus just 4˚ to the left, and Saturn 15˚ up and to the left of Venus. The Moon starts VERY thin on the 27th, down and to the right of Jupiter in the SW. The next night, Venus and the Moon are VERY close! Just 1.5˚ apart for Thanksgiving! Then on Friday the Moon moves to be less than 2˚ below Saturn, and then leaving the group on the 30th.   Naked-eye PLANETS... Around Sunset – Saturn, Jupiter, Venus (S to SW) Throughout the night – None Morning – Mars (ESE), Mercury (ESE – last week)  Mercury MIGHT catch it on the 1st when it’s below Venus and sets about an hour after the Sun. Your better bet is to get out around 7am and look ESE, but only during the last week of November. Mercury, Mars, and Spica will line up nicely, adding the Moon on the 23rd and 24th. Venus Venus’ turn to come back as the “Evening Star” until May! Just barely visible over the horizon at sunset at the beginning of the month, it will slowly get a little higher each night, so be patient. Find a great view of the SW horizon with nothing in the way and watch the sunset. Venus will be the brightest light off in that direction, only about 10˚ above the horizon. Mars Get out after 6am, but before sunrise, and look ESE to find the ruddy red point of light that is Mars. The view keeps improving as Mars rises earlier and is higher each morning, until on the 30th it rises at 5:30am and is 24˚ above the horizon by sunrise. Jupiter LAST CHANCE (for a couple months)! Other than Venus if you’re looking for it, Jupiter will probably be the first point of light you can see, looking SW less than 15˚ above the horizon. It will set in the SW by 8:30pm at the beginning of the month. Throughout the month it’ll set earlier, passing Venus, by 7:00pm at the end of the month. Saturn Yet again, Saturn will trail behind Jupiter in the sky by about 20˚. It starts off in the SSW about 20˚ above the horizon, and third in brightness to Jupiter and Venus. Throughout each night it’ll set in the SW earlier, at 10pm in the beginning of the month, by 8:30pm at the end.   CONSTELLATIONS... Use a sky map from www.skymaps.com to help you out. After Dinner: Pegasus & Andromeda - Look pretty much straight up you’ll be able to see the Great Square of Pegasus, with Andromeda curving off of one corner. If your skies are decently dark, you might catch the faint fuzz that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Before Bed: Andromeda, Perseus, Triangulum, Aries – Find Pegasus off to the West a little bit to find the cornucopia shaped Andromeda again. Keep following the cornucopia shape to find Perseus, which has kind of a similar shape, except opening up toward the southern horizon and the Pleiades.  Below Perseus and Andromeda will be Triangulum, a small thin triangle, and Aries the Ram, which looks more like a curved walking cane on its side.

Episodio 38. En la observación de cielo profundo de hoy, finales de diciembre, escogemos algunos objetos contundentes y otros más bien retos a conseguir. A partes iguales. - Cometa Wirtanen (en el momento de la observación, se encontraba en Linx). No se le aprecia cola, solamente coma. Si bien al telescopio se adivina hacia dónde se dirige el viento solar que empuja su escasa cabellera. - Mayal II (G1) Globular perteneciente a la Galaxia de Andrómeda M31. Único de los globulares de esa galaxia que muestra cuerpo al ocular. Muy escasas y débiles las estrellas de referencia con las que contamos para encontrar a G1 por salto de estrellas. - Ya que estamos por aquí, quién se resiste a observar tanto los brazos de M31 como sus zonas de formación estelar o como sus galaxias satélite M32 y M110. - M33, la galaxia de Triangulum, se encuentra en su mejor posición para ser observada, en lo más alto del cielo. Y es ahí prácticamente el único sitio donde se le puede sacar partido a esas zonas de formación estelar, tan intensas que visualmente parecen objetos independientes y que, incluso, muchas tienen su propia entrada en el catálogo NGC. - NGC2419 “Vagabundo Intergaláctico”. Un globular de la Via Lactea tan alejado del centro galáctico como nuestro sistema solar. Tanto es así que durante un tiempo se creyó que no pertenecía a nuestra galaxia sino que vagaba en solitario por el espacio. - Palomar 2, en Auriga. Cúmulo globular a 110.000 años-luz. Un cúmulo que está lejano, pero que aún lo parece más, ya que se encuentra debilitado visualmente por el polvo interestelar de nuestra propia galaxia y eso oscurece y enrojece su espectro. Huelga decir que visualmente también es una pequeña conquista detectarlo y observarlo. - Tau Canis Majoris y NGC2362. Cúmulo abierto en Can Mayor rodeado de nebulosidad original y con estrella brillantísima en su interior. - NGC2392 Nebulosa Esquimal, en Gemini. Una de las nebulosas planetarias más vistosas que tenemos en el invierno boreal.

IZUMIO contains water from the serene countryside of Japan, which is the source of hydrogen that provides antioxidative benefits. IZUMIO has become a household name for hydrogenized water. Studies have shown that hydrogen water may work as an antioxidant and reduce inflammation. IZUMIO uses hydrogenized water to bond with over-saturated active oxygen species in bodies to prevent the development of cells harmed by free radicals.  Common antioxidants are fruits and vegatables, but hydrogen molecules are the most powerful form of antioxidants. Hydrogen rich water can be absorbed into the intestine within a minute and spread throughout the body within 10 minutes. Hydrogen water can have many benefits such as the ability to increase your energy, improve recovery after a workout, help reduce inflammation. IZUMIO has become the number-one-selling hydrogenized water in the Japanese market.* With IZUMIO, you’ll always be a step ahead.

WATCH this on YouTubeLISTEN as a podcast on Podbean, Stitcher, or iTunes          Welcome to Observing With Webb, where a high school astronomy teacher tells you what you’re looking at, why it’s so cool, and what you should check out later this month…at night.  Don’t forget to check out my Podbean page, YouTube Channel, and Twitter feed, or get my podcast feed on Stitcher, or iTunes. Venus switches over to a morning star, and a brilliant morning star at that, Mars dominates the evening sky, Saturn tries to stay visible for another month, the Leonids try to break through the gibbous moonlight, and the Moon passes by Mars and Saturn.   Naked-eye PLANETS... Around Sunset – Saturn (SW), Mars (S) Throughout the night – Mars (SàW) Morning – Venus (E)   Mercury Lost in the glare of the Sun this month Venus Becomes a brilliant morning star for the next half year or so. Even as a very thin crescent in the beginning of the month, it is VERY bright, and easily visible just above the ESE horizon starting late the first week of the month. It’ll get up to about 30˚ above the horizon by the end of November, and visible as early as 4:30am. If you have binoculars or a telescope, you should easily see it transform from a very thin crescent to a smaller but thicker crescent throughout the month, about the size of Jupiter in your view. Mars Mars is already in the S around sunset, traveling toward the W and setting around 11:30pm each night. Moves from Capricornus to Aquarius throughout the month. Absolutely gorgeous and bright and red right now, but not so breathtaking in a telescope. Jupiter Lost in the glare of the Sun this month, and probably next Saturn Starts to dive lower in the sky quickly this month. Already up around sunset. Look about 20˚ above the SW horizon in evening above Sagittarius. Sets around 8pm in the beginning of the month, and 6pm at the end of the month. Get binoculars or a telescope out to check out the rings.   EVENTS... 4th – Daylight Savings Time Ends New Moon – 7th (darkest skies) 11th – Close Encounter – Moon, Saturn – Find a thin crescent Moon off in the SW after sunset and you’ll see Saturn only 3˚ off to the right and down a little bit, both just above the teapot of Sagittarius. First Quarter Moon – 15th (Visible until midnight) 15th – Close Encounter – Moon, Mars – A half-lit Moon will get to within 3˚ of Mars tonight. 17th – Leonid Meteor Shower – You might just catch a couple meteors coming from Leo, if you get out early in the morning and look at the whole sky in general, like other meteor showers.  However, this meteor shower is losing steam throughout the years, but still producing about 15 per hour. The Gibbous Moon will make it hard to see many of the fainter meteors in the early evening. Full Moon – 23rd (Visible all night) Last Quarter Moon – 30th (Visible from midnight into the morning)   CONSTELLATIONS... (see sky map link at the bottom for a Star Map for this month)    After Dinner: Pegasus & Andromeda - Look pretty much straight up you’ll be able to see the Great Square of Pegasus, with Andromeda curving off of one corner. If your skies are decently dark, you might catch the faint fuzz that is the Andromeda Galaxy. Before Bed: Andromeda, Perseus, Triangulum, Aries – Find Pegasus off to the West a little bit to find the cornucopia shaped Andromeda again. Keep following the cornucopia shape to find Perseus, which has kind of a similar shape, except opening up toward the southern horizon and the Pleiades.  Below Perseus and Andromeda will be Triangulum, a small thin triangle, and Aries the Ram, which looks more like a curved walking cane on its side. Before Work: Orion – Look southwest to find the vertical bow-tie that is Orion the Hunter. Use a sky map from www.skymaps.com to help you out.

Welcome to the first episode of HD and the Void, space edition! Start at the beginning of the universe with the Big Bang, then zoom to the beginning of records of humanity's astronomical observations with the Mesopotamian star chart MUL.APIN. Bonus fun facts: cosmic microwave background radiation, star catalogs, the constellation Triangulum, different kinds of calendars (solar, lunar, and luni-solar) and how to use constellations or seasons to track them, goat-fish, and retrograde motion.

Episodio 29. * Primera observación de invierno, y casi seguramente la última de 2016. Lo que es seguro es que sí que es el último episodio colgado este año. Observación de cielo profundo con el dobson de 400mm. Salvo algún test inicial para catar el cielo, son todo galaxias. Es lo que me pedía el cuerpo y lo que sugería la ausencia de luna, nubes y viento. Llego al lugar de observación tal vez un poco tarde, con noche ya cerrada con el planeta Venus brillando de un modo rabioso que casi molestaba a la vista sobre el horizonte SurOeste. Subiendo el puerto de montaña la temperatura es de unos 3 grados, que suben a cinco grados cuando llego pero que no tarda mucho tiempo en bajar un par de grados en una hora o dos. Es una temperatura que es muy soportable porque apenas hay viento. No se oye ningún tipo de animal y casi tampoco se ven. Los únicos seres animados son algún ratoncillo, tres o cuatro, que se han dejado ver por la carretera de llegada. De los objetos mencionados en el episodio, estos son los que observé con mayor o menor intensidad: Nebulosas M42, M43 en Orion; NGC1999 en Orion —> Hay un pequeño artículo monográfico, con su correspondiente audio de apenas cuatro minutos, en el blog: http://nestorgm.com/astronomia/ngc-1999/ Galaxias M31, 32 y 110 en Andromeda. Galaxia M33 con NGC 604 en Triangulum. Galaxia NGC404, Fantasma de Mirach, en Andromeda. Galaxia NGC908 en Cetus. Galaxia NGC1055 y M77 en Cetus. Las galaxias de esta constelación las repaso también en sendos podcast: “De Ballenas y Galaxias” —> http://nestorgm.com/astronomia/de-ballenas-y-galaxias/ Podcast nº 5 “Una Ballena, Un Escultor y Muchos Universos-Isla” —> http://nestorgm.com/?s=Una+Ballena%2C+Un+Escultor+y+muchos+Universos-Isla Galaxia NGC936 en Cetus.
