Just found this fab image at Nasa’s photojounal

I’ve finally finished inputting the information and tweaking the format of my constellation page.

Check out the new galaxy zoo website.  The classification buttons are much better than before.

Almost there with my new constallations page.  Hopefully should be finished in the next day or so.

Galileo Galilei was born on 15 February 1564. He was one of the first people to observe sunspots using a telescope.

I’m currently working on a page about the mythology of the constallations. At least half of our modern constallations originated from the ancient Greeks.  Can you believe that the ancient Chinese had 283 constellations and some of these only contained one star!

Hopefully it should be live in the next day or so.

Cold clear weather makes for fantastic viewing. Venus is amazingly bright in the west.

Great view of the Moon south of Pollux tonight.

It had to happen eventually …. a clear night!  Fantastic viewing conditions providing you’re wrapped up.
