No, it's not a petri dish.
No, it's not an egg.
And no, it's not the skin of your enemy. 😂

It's the Sun.

Surface granulations and Sunspots can be observed in this picture.

Did you know that the Sun is actually white?

We used a white light solar filter to photograph this. Please only use ISO-certified filters if you plan on photographing the Sun.

Hoping for clear skies so we can finally resume our telescope viewings!

Hey Luna, it's been a while!

Throwback to the time I joined an astrophotography challenge. The result is this Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.

This shot is "untracked." I had to manually slew the camera every few seconds. This consists of hundreds of 3-second subexposures.

You can see the Flame Nebula and the Horsehead Nebula near the star Alnitak. The Orion Nebula is below the belt. The large "C" is Barnard's Loop, and thr big red blob towards the top is the Lambda Orionis Ring.

The Moon at First Quarter

Why is called 1 first quarter even though it looks half-lit?

It gets its name because the Moon is exactly one-quarter of the way through its monthly orbit around the Earth (completed 90° out of a 360° cycle).

A third quarter moon also looks like a half Moon, but with the opposite side lit (270° out of 360°).

A quick shot of the Moon tonight!

Hopefully, the weather clears up by next week. We miss showing you the beauty of the Moon up close!

Hays tag-ulan naman 🥲

But don’t worry, magbabalik kami soon with more demos and props when the weather permits!

In the meantime, stay safe and dry. Wala tayong regenerative powers parang si Wolverine.

Stay curious and see you soon near the lake! ✨🌙🔭

Blue Moon tomorrow? Here’s what that actually means.

Q: Will the Moon really turn blue?
A: No. A Blue Moon is usually the same color as any other full Moon. On very rare occasions, the Moon has appeared bluish after major volcanic eruptions or large wildfires. One famous example was the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, when tiny particles in the atmosphere scattered red light and made the Moon appear blue.

Q: Then why is it called a Blue Moon?
A: The name has nothing to do with its color. The phrase may have come from a 1528 anti-clerical pamphlet mocking people who believed impossible claims.

Q: How rare is a Blue Moon?
A: Not extremely rare. Blue Moons occur about once every 2 to 3 years.

Q: What exactly is a Blue Moon?
A: There are two accepted definitions:

• Traditional Blue Moon: The third full Moon in an astronomical season that contains four full Moons.
• Modern Blue Moon: The second full Moon in a single calendar month.

So tomorrow’s Blue Moon won’t actually be blue, but it is a neat reminder of how our calendars, seasons, and sky sometimes line up in unusual ways. 🌕✨
