Astro Bob: See a spectacular occultation of Jupiter on Oct. 6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Like a magician, the moon will make Jupiter disappear on the morning of Oct. 6, then "pull it out of a hat" less than hour later. The rare event, called an occultation, will be visible from the Duluth region and much of eastern North America Tuesday morning before dawn, low in the eastern sky. I wish it were happening at a more convenient time, but nature has a habit of not consulting with humans. Times vary depending on your location, but for the Duluth region, the bright edge of the lunar cres
Astro Bob: Milky Way, part 2 — Exploring the Great Star Clouds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I mentioned we'd revisit the Milky Way to explore a little more. Sometimes it's difficult when looking at a one-of-a-kind object like the home galaxy to size it up in just a night or two. It takes time to really see something. If you've only viewed the Milky Way a few times before, you'll recall its soft, glowing appearance and the dark gap, the Great Rift, that runs down the middle of the band. Prior to the 20th century, it was considered a true gap, devoid of stars — a big hole in th
Astro Bob: Sweet September nights bring starry sights (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Venus used to be easy to see. This month it's very low in the southwestern sky shortly after sunset and requires an unobstructed view. After patting yourself on the back for finding it, take a look in binoculars and you'll make out a tiny crescent shape just like the moon. Saturn comes up in the southeastern sky around 9:30-10 p.m. It’s the only bright “star” visible at that time in that direction. Binoculars will show its elongated shape, but you’ll need a small telescope magnifying around 30x
Astro Bob: Enjoy the late summer Milky Way ramble (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you watched the recent, near-total lunar eclipse from outside the city, you would have marveled at how bright the stars and Milky Way became once the moon burrowed into Earth's shadow. A dark sky makes a big difference. It also helps when the brightest part of the Milky Way stands high above the horizon haze, which it does every August and September. That eclipse night taste made me want more. Fortunately, the moon is waning and rising later each night. As it does, the Milky Way regains promi
Astro Bob: How to watch the Thursday, Aug. 27 lunar eclipse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Weren't able to see the recent solar eclipse? You hold an ace in your hand — celestial mechanics. The sun, Earth and moon align again on Thursday, Aug. 27, this time for a lunar eclipse. Eclipses usually occur in pairs, first a solar then a lunar or vice versa. That's because there's only two weeks between new moon, when a solar eclipse happens, and full moon, when a lunar eclipse can occur. The time between them is short enough for all three to line up again in eclipse. During most full moons,
