(WordPress altered the way I enter things here, so it’s going to take me a post or two to figure out the new system….
The skinny New Moon and Comet Pan-STARRS were very nice tonight. Made this image with a 300mm lens on the Nikon…
Earlier this week I received an ad from Kalmbach publishing (they’re the same folks that print Astronomy Magazine) about a super deal they had on their “Wonders of Science” calendar. It only cost $3.88 plus $2.95 shipping.
That’s not bad for a full color calendar with a nice assortment of science photos, so I ordered one and received it today! Great!
However, when I was thumbing through it and got to April…..well, “Houston, we have a problem”.
Just look at the description below April 20….
Never mind that the Lunar Landing IS marked on July 20 a few months later….
Maybe this is why the calendar was on sale. If the print is too small to read, just click on the calendar for a larger view.
Let the show begin!
Just a quick shot through a 3 inch refractor of the Moon approaching Jupiter. The show continues after dark when the Moon gets even closer….go outside and look up!
