Could you see the comet from where you are Polaris?

We did have a photo of a black hole recently.

Yes! I saw that! I can't wait until we can get a cleare4r picture though...one day. pretty mind blowing when you think about it.

Polaris : where have you been....? Things going ok? I thought we would see you on at your spring break... we miss you!

[galled]

I saw it too! So cool!!

Kinda blurry, but I think it'll get better as the tech matures. What I can't get my head around is I thought by definition nothing can escape a black hole, so logic says you shouldn't be able to detect it, right??

It's supposed to be a pink Easter moon! "This Easter weekend will mark the rising of the full, so-called “pink moon,” the fourth full moon of the year."

"April’s full moon was nicknamed the “pink moon” by Native Americans for the pink wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest flowers to grow in spring, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac."

It's the fourth full moon of the year.

Ahhhh, I'm not sure why it logged me on for Feb 2019, but whoever that was... I'm back!! Sorta eheh

Anyone hear about the "black moon?" It's basically an extra new moon that happens in a month or a season. It can also mean the abscence of a full/new moon in a month, but in this case it means the former. It's quite unusual and happens every 32 months!

uhhuh...I went out to see if I could see anything...like a rim when it is a lunar eclipse...then realized since it was a new moon I wouldn't see anything!

Been wondering how our stargirl has been! How are the studies? What have you been up to?

Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites seen streaking through sky – “At approximately 9:22 pm in the south of England, a group of satellites called Starlink trailed across the night sky over Essex."

How cool!

Nearly forgot the existence of this thread, oh my.

Interesting how some were watching for the Lyrids metero shower, but got a SpaceX light show instead!

Worried for our little rover on Mars? Fear not! The NASA Curiosity team is monitoring and controlling the Mars Rover from home.

LOL welcome back!

That's one of the good changes that'll come from all of the craziness--we'll find people can be productive even at home!
