A nice Autumn day, surprisingly without clouds. Exactly this day the nature prepared for us a nice performance on the sky. Moon’s shadow covered a part of our sun. Did you have an opportunity to take some photos? Feel free to share, I’m curious 🙂 More info about the eclipse of sun and contact is here.

The Observatory and Planetarium of Brno is well known for their excellent programs for the public. Yesterday there was a large nanostructure where people could walk inside and learn new interesting knowledge, a large heliosphere with live comments of professional astronomers. The late evening was dedicated to the summer cinema – projecting if space-related films on the wall outside of the observa…

Do you have any tips for this small telescope? I tried to project the Sun with it, and it worked quite well. But thinking about any other areas for its use. I got it as present, so if you have any ideas, feel free to share in the comments below. Thanks! 👍🙂 Published by Joe Dr. Jozef Kozár is a scientist and writer, studying planets, Solar System, and robotic space exploration missions. He is the …

I found this beautiful photo of the red Moon. I do not know the author 😦

The sky was cloudy today, but it was nice warm outside. Summer is near!

Photos were taken with a smartphone attached to an eyepiece of the telescope with the lowest zoom. The rest of the observation was without taking the photos and with much greater zoom.

Photo above was taken with b/w filter. Following images display the Moon just before the sunset.

I had some time to to take a look on the Moon through my telescope. Although the weather was making some troubles (clouds), I managed to take some photos. Appenine mountain range at the top.

I absolutely like this image. It is planet Uranus in infrared view. Credit: KECK / Courtesy of Heidi B. Hammel and Imke de Pater

Can you guess the city or location? 🙂 It is a very nice place to relax, study or just walk in the nature around.
