Hello ...
Here's your Cosmic Pursuits newsletter for October 2023!
1. While deep-sky sights abound in the evening sky, our own solar system offers us the best sights this month. Jupiter and Saturn move into prime viewing territory, two meteor showers arrive, and an annular solar eclipse and a famous comet also grace the October skies. Here's what to see in the Night Sky This Month...
2. Just a month from opposition, brilliant Jupiter is now poised for prime viewing over the next few months. There's always plenty to see on
and around the biggest planet. To help you get the best view, here's your guide to observing Jupiter in 2023.
3. The JWST delivers another "OMG" image - a brand-new protostar emerging from the dust and gas of the interstellar medium. Just dazzling.
4. Take an engaging tour of the Holmdel Horn Antenna, the historic radio 'telescope' in New Jersey that discovered the faint signature of the fiery beginning of the entire universe.
5. Enjoy the best images from the Astronomy Photography of the Year competition for 2023.
And the astronomy quote of the month...
“We are stardust brought to life, then
empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun.”
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
