First playing around taking moon shots with an astro camera-telescope setup. A single 1 millisecond exposure of a 80+% moon. Clouds came in after a half hour or so of fiddling but of the 45-plus exposures the next step will be to sort though them and blend them for a cleaner image. #clayhausphotography #moon #moonphotography #astrophotography #explorescientific #zwocameras #celestronavx #luna #lunar https://www.instagram.com/p/CeuGpxzPb9s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Many young people, boys and girls, wonder about the stars in our universe and wish to explore space. This was the big dream of a teenage Iranian girl Sepideh Hooshyar. Sepideh was inspired by Einstein and the first female Persian astronaut Anousheh Ansari, which further fueled her passion for science and space exploration. Armed with a telescope, sixteen-year-old Sepideh would make excursions with her friends into the desert near her village to stargaze and learn more about the universe. But her strong desires and her stargazing trips flew in the face of tradition and was of grave concern to her family and community. A Danish filmmaker Berit Madsen, learned of Sepideh's story and struggle and wrote and directed the award-winning documentary "Sepideh - Reaching for the Stars" which premiered at the 2013 International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam, and eventually premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Now married and a mother, Sepideh continues her work in astronomical science with a supportive husband. She lectures to international audiences to share her passion and her knowledge. Sepideh Hooshyar is our special guest on the next Explore Now program. Watch it live today at 3:00 p.m. Central. Farah Payan of Woodland Hills Camera & Telescope has volunteered to serve as translator.

Three galaxies in Cetus (the Whale). In the upper right is the M 77, a barred spiral galaxy about 47 million light-years away. We are viewing it face-on and its faint arms can just barely be made out. Centre-left is NGC 1055, an edge-on spiral galaxy estimated to be 52 million lights years distant. The central dust lane can be clearly distinguished. Finally, almost directly below M 77 you can discern a small faint smudge. That is the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1072, currently calculated to be an astonishing 369 million light years away. #clayhausphotography #explorescientific #zwo #asi533mcpro #asiairpro #astrophotography #astronomy https://www.instagram.com/p/CW8bPn2BYgz/?utm_medium=tumblr

"I Iook out of this window and I think this is a cosmos, this is a huge creation, this is one small corner of it. The trees and birds and everything else and I'm part of it. I didn't ask to be put here, I've been lucky in finding myself here."

The theme of the 66th Global Star Party is "Cosmic Beacons" and occurs tonight,Tuesday October 5th with a 7:00p.m., to coincide with the anniversary of Edwin Hubble's discovery in 1923 of a Cepheid Variable Star in M-31, thus proving that the Andromeda Spiral Nebula was not just a spiral nebular cloud, but was indeed another galaxy, a separate island of stars, with a distance much further than ever considered before. Our stellar lineup of speakers will blow your mind, and you have a chance to win valuable door prizes with Astronomical League.
