I got out at about 4:30am to check it out and started seeing my first meteors around 5:00am with the peak occurring at about 5:25am or so. I thought about turning on the video camera and pointing it at Auriga, but by the time I got outside, I was pretty […]
Earth at night
As much as I hate light pollution, I love looking at this composite image of the Earth at night. I have a poster of this in my office that I find myself staring at more than I’d like to admit. I find it fascinating to see where we humans have congregated […]

The Apollo Image Archive is scanning the film from the Apollo missions into high resolution digital files.
The resolution will be roughly 20 feet, which means that objects larger than this will be resolved when you look at the images. Anything smaller than this will just be a blur.

For about $1,550 plus shipping, I can get this enclosure that will not only protect my equipment and let me leave it set up all the time, but it’ll really make […]
Sorry guys, it’s just a mountain, or hill (since I live in Colorado anything less than 14,000 feet is a hill). Earlier this week the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter team released this image of the Cydonia region of Mars.

Here is a stunning image taken in November 1998 with the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS). It is an ultraviolet image of auroras over the north pole of Jupiter.

It turns out that the auroras on Jupiter are larger than our entire planet. Here’s a composite image of a Hubble […]
Some very good friends of mine have been working on the Solar-B mission and I’ve been quite impressed with the images coming out. I haven’t seen a lot of bloggers posting images from this spacecraft, so I thought I’d provide one.
Below is an image of the solar chromosphere, a region just above what is […]
