Observing With Webb - Last Minute Astronomer: October Episode
The 365 Days of Astronomy - Een podcast door 365DaysOfAstronomy.org
My name is Rob and I’m your Last Minute Astronomer, bringing astronomy to normies, with little time to spare. Let’s start with the naked eye planets we can all see, get the Moon phase dates, and then highlight the events for the month. So break out that calendar and imagination. Halloween month brings us some spooooooooky astronomy. Saturn and Jupiter soar ominously above, Venus shines before dawn, and rocks fall from the sky. Welcome to Observing With Webb for the last time…but only because I’m in the process of rebranding and relaunching the podcast. I’m changing over to The Last Minute Astronomer, which you can find on most of the social media platforms, but in a very empty and young state. Feel free to start following now, knowing that there will be more to come in the future. 14th – ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE – Saturday is a great day for North America, which experiences a rare annular solar eclipse where the Moon, further away in its orbit than average, is smaller in our view, aligns with the Sun, but doesn’t cover it entirely, leaving a ring of fire. Wear your eclipse glasses, try to travel to the path where you’ll see the ring, or hang out where you are and witness the Moon partially the Sun.
