AllanICarswellObservatoryEarthshine nights are coming up on April 30 and May 1! These are the best nights to see the dark portion of a crescent Moon because the Sun’s light reflects off Earth and illuminates the Moon. They occur a few days before and after a New Moon. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NewMoon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewMoon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Crescent?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crescent</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Earthshine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Earthshine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Observing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Observing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Telescope?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>

AllanICarswellObservatoryThe Lyrids meteor shower is ongoing and will soon peak. The best time to view is the late evening of April 21 into the early morning of April 22, before the moon rises. The Lyrids usually produce about 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions, but it has been known to produce as many as 100! <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lyrids?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lyrids</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Meteor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meteor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/MeteorShower?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MeteorShower</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Observing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Observing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Telescope?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>

AllanICarswellObservatoryDid you know that the Moon has a tail made of sodium atoms? It's not visible to the naked eye, but during the New Moon and under the right conditions, some astronomical instruments can detect a faint tail stretching thousands of kilometers into space. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Moon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Lunar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lunar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SodiumTail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SodiumTail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Observing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Observing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Telescope?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Telescope</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>

AllanICarswellObservatorySpiral galaxy NGC 7331, also known as the Caldwell 30, is pretty similar to our Milky Way in terms of mass, size and shape. Located in the constellation Pegasus, Caldwell 30 is about 45 million lightyears away from us. The galaxy got the nickname Caldwell 30 because it is a member of the group of 86 objects catalogued by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore. He named the objects the Caldwell Objects because his full surname is actually Caldwell-Moore. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Caldwell?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caldwell</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NGC7331?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NGC7331</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Caldwell30?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Caldwell30</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Spiral?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spiral</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Galaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Galaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Toronto?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Ontario?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a>

AllanICarswellObservatoryAlnitak is a bright bluish star located left of the Horsehead Nebula and just above the Flame Nebula. It is the easternmost star in Orion’s Belt. Alnitak shines ultraviolet light into the Flame Nebula that ionises the hydrogen gas within, causing it to emit its own light. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkU?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkU</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AllanICarswellObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AllanICarswellObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/YorkUObservatory?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YorkUObservatory</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astronomer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astronomer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Space?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Space</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Star?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Star</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceFacts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceFacts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Science?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Alnitak?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alnitak</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HorseheadNebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HorseheadNebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/FlameNebula?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FlameNebula</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceScienceSaturday?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceScienceSaturday</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpaceFacts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpaceFacts</a>
