Whether you join a club observing event, head out on your own, or simply take a moment to gaze upwards from a park or balcony, I hope you’ll take advantage of the improving weather and enjoy the wonders April’s night sky has to offer.
An asteroid doesn’t care about borders, politics, or cultural differences. Astronomy shows us not just how small we are in the grand scheme, but also how extraordinary it is that we can stand beneath the stars and learn from them.
The abundance of scientific research, so far, favors the notion that meteors carry amino acids, biologically necessary or not, from interstellar space. This provides our planet with the seeds of life.
Each evening, we would take our folding chairs out to the beach to observe the beautiful sunsets over the water. The sunsets were always predictable, except this one day. Something changed. Something special happened. Something got my attention. Wow! What is that?
Creative expression has existed on planet Earth since the origin of humanity. Constantly immersed within the wild, unlike the majority of our contemporary societies, primitive humans drew inspiration from their surroundings and the inherent attributes of their lifestyles: local flora and fauna, the environment, weather patterns, and of course, the night sky.
Eyepiece, the Amateur Astronomers Association monthly newsletter, covers lectures and other astronomy events in New York City; offers commentary, tips on observing and equipment and summarizes astronomy discoveries and other general news in astronomy and astrophysics. Each month, our “What’s Up in the Sky” column discusses what can be seen in the skies during the upcoming month. Members do all the writing for Eyepiece, and new contributors are always welcome.
