One of the world's most famous radio telescope facilities needs a new name - and ideas are wanted The Very Large Array (VLA) is a bank of radio telescopes in New Mexico, US, and has appeared in a number of films including Contact and Independence Day.

Beautiful view of Jupiter and Venus tonight.. Just look for the brightest points of light off to the west.. Venus is the lowest one and Jupiter above and to the left.
|
Re: Astronomy

|
Re: Astronomy
Venus is just about to set so not much good looking for it later ;)

Re: Astronomy
Just sneeked away from my partner for 5 minutes to have a look and you are right it is a beautiful sight.

If someone wants to know what stars are about then register on http://www.heavens-above.com and put in your long/lat as your observational position. Then click on Whole Sky Chart for everything you should be able to see at that time on a clear night |
Re: Astronomy
Anyone on Android could also try the Google Sky Map app. That's great.
http://www.google.com/mobile/skymap/ I remember seeing something similar to the main event in the very early 1980's when walking my future wife home through her local park one evening in SE London. It all happened so quickly we could hardly believe what we were seeing - it almost looked like a very large firework shooting across the sky but heading gradually downwards. A few years later on the day we'd moved into this house, we spent a wonderful September evening sitting in the garden of our local pub watching a fantastic meteor shower courtsesy of a beautiful clear sky. I've never since seen one as beautiful. |

I tend to use Heavens-above as it's great for predicting satellite passes, the moon/planet/star data is just an added bonus :)

Re: Astronomy
Yes l will be keeping a close eye on this to the West in the next couple of days.

Re: Astronomy
I was looking in the sky just now and two planets/stars seemed to be very close and very bright, now i know why!.
Lovely sight :) |
Re: Astronomy
If anyone's got clear skies, you may have the Northern Lights right now. Sadly cloudy here.

It was actually only a quick hand-held shot. The moon and Jupiter come together again on 22nd Jan, so I'll try again with a bit more planning. It would be good to get some of Jupiter's moons into the shot too. |

Two excellent chances to see the ISS tonight, at 2101 and 2238, travelling west to east and getting incredibly bright. I'll be off for a walk up the hill behind the house to get a good vantage point, if it stays cloudless this evening.
