It's a new Moon today so a great time to look for faint objects in the sky. #ConstellationStation

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

Try and spot Mercury around 7.00 in the morning sky over in the east, its about 10 degrees above the horizon. #ConstellationStation

Sunset across the UK this week is around 4pm #ConstellationStation

@PeterLewis55 @Astronomer_Mark Its an interesting read but of course detector sensitivity has a lot to do with the colour it appears in pictures MT

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

Interesting.. what do you think? https://t.co/dSWY6oXH7N

@jacg Hey thanks Mrs G, sorry for the hideous delay in replying. Happy New Year

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

The Sun sets this week around 3.40pm from UK but the sky doesn't get truly dark until around 5.45pm, the end of astronomical dusk.

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

Jupiter is well placed in the evening sky, its the bright object visible most of the night over in the south, really can't miss it.

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

It's the peak of the Geminid meteor shower in the early hours tomorrow morning. Get dressed warm, make yourself comfortable, sit back and watch.

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

Checkout that bright star-like object in the morning sky over in the south east, that's Venus. Can't miss it.

[The Constellation Station Podcast @AstronomyPod]

It's New Moon today, the sky will be nice and dark, it's time to hunt down fainter deep sky objects.

@Astronomer_Mark @AstronomyPod Was very lucky to see it in Iceland a couple of weeks ago! Absolutely beautiful! Going to Stornaway with work for a week on Monday so hoping for more sightings!!!

Here’s the edited #aurora pic which I took from Fleetwood earlier. The plough/big dipper asterism was nice & prominent.

#Jupiter on November 7th. https://t.co/DgVO9NQ78B A short period of clear sky ahead of a weather front. Fair seeing. The boring side of the planet nicely on view! C14 with QHY200M.
