APOD 2.3

Today's APOD shows a unique perspective of our moon. Most people usually see it as a large grey dot in the sky. With color added to the topographical map, we can see the different heights of the moon, and as a result, see different canyons and mountains, and other features of the moon. The moon really is similar to the Earth!

APOD 2.2

First off, I chose this picture for two reasons. I think the photo is a remarkable view of the galaxies in the universe, and I think that this picture does a good job of portraying the sheer power of the Hubble space telescppe. 

First Stargaze

During this stargaze, we observed the constellations that we have been studying for the entirty of the first quarter. One thing that stood out to me this quarter was a moving object that we observed in the sky. In the end it turned out to be the Hubble Space Telescope. We observed my favorite constellation Pisces. It also just so happens that it is my zodiacal constellation.

APOD 1.9

Seen above is an aurora during the month of october. I picked this picture because i felt it was a good change from the usual picture of stars and other cosmological phenomena.
