Looking Up with Don

Do something to improve your eyesight, it is cheaper than buying a bigger telescope.

Venus and the moon together in our evening sky. A challenge worth a try.

Maybe Santa will give the elves the day off.

I once owned a 2010 Equinox, but now we are talking about motorized vehicles. Let's get back to the sky's equinox, which travels much more slowly, and lasts longer.

At this point, you might say: “You call this an eclipse?”  Good call, the moon is barely inside the earth’s shadow.

The eyes alone are superior to the telescope for some types of viewing, such as watching meteor showers and learning the constellations.

The eclipse path for a lunar eclipse is big, about half the earth. Whoever can see the moon can see the lunar eclipse.

We have seen pictures of the moon's back side, and believe me, we have the more interesting side.

There are more meteor showers than meets the eye.

We often think of space as a vacuum, well it isn't. We're here, aren't we?
