Since I posted a post about Van Gogh a few posts down, I feel this quote is especially apt to put up here. Ha, what a great quote!!! I can totally relate to this.
“Sometimes I have a terrible need of, shall I say the word, religion. Then I go out at night and […]

I’ve never really thought of Ireland as a place where amateur astronomy could flourish, primarily because I thought it was cloudy most of the time there.
Boy was I wrong. Not only is there an active amateur astronomy culture in Ireland, there is also a huge effort toward education people about, and attempting […]
So, I am going to this talk by David H. Levy tonight called Shakespeare as a Skywatcher: Joining Astronomy with English Literature.
David is a really cool guy. A REALLY COOL GUY. He is, among a great many other things, the author of 35 books, the discoverer of 22 comets, the co-discoverer of the […]
Here’s what a galaxy whose light has been travelling 13 billion years looks like (it’s in the white square, click on the image to see a bigger one):

What’s really cool about this image is that the light from this distant galaxy was made over 10 […]
I was trolling around Flickr today for interesting astronomy pictures and found the one below. Wow.
This is the kind of image excellent equipment gives you (OK, and lots of experience):

Taken with a Takahashi refractor and an SBIG Camera, this image rivals anything I’ve seen come out of NASA.
Excellent work.
Apparently, there is a slight […]
I missed the Flyby of the MESSENGER spacecraft as it flew by Mercury last month. I looked at the pictures and read a few news releases after the fact, but I missed all the real-time updates that were coming out of NASA/JPL.
It turns out that I needn’t have worried. I just went through […]
A few days ago, during the cool-kids camp, HubbleSite released this image:

This is a very interesting image. On the left, the bright blob in the center surrounded by rings is a galaxy and the gravitational field from that galaxy is warping the light of two more galaxies directly behind it (causing […]
I just came back from a carnival, that’s right, the Carnival of Space, that is ( ‘Piiiiiigs iiiiiiiiin spaaaaaaaaaace’ always goes through my head when I say that).
I particularly like this post about this picture. That’s a lot of stars, definitely puts one in one’s proverbial place, doesn’t it? Somehow, the fact that […]
Sometimes when I’m bored, and admittedly that’s not very often, I’ll go through flickr and type in something silly in the search box, sort the results by Most Interesting and see what comes up.
I did that yesterday with “Telescope Christmas” and saw this photo (click on it to see a bigger one):

This was taken from the ESA’s Rosetta Spacecraft while enroute to a comet. On it’s way, it passed over the night-side of the Earth and took this image:

What’s depressing is that how bright the lights are, and how many. This is only a five second exposure, look at all the […]
