#Perth #WA There'll be a partial lunar eclipse in the early morning this coming Wednesday. To find out more click and read our article or if the bed is too cosy we'll be live streaming it for @timeanddatecom Article: https://www.perthobservatory.com.au/astronomical-event/a-partial-eclipse-of-the-moon Live Stream: https://www.timeanddate.com/live #perthnews #perthevents #perthlife #perthtodo #perthhappenings Image taken by Carol Redford (@stargazersclub)
#Perth #WA Our crack squad of glass plate digitisers who are scanning our 30,000 historical glass plates which is part of our Lotterywest grant, scanned this glass plate today of the nice dusty Comet Humason 1961e. Discovered by Milton Humason on September 1st, 1961, the diameter of its nucleus is estimated to be around 30 - 41 km. It was much more active than a normal comet for its distance to the Sun, with an absolute magnitude of 1.5 - 3.5 and it could've been up to a hundred times brighter than an average new comet. It has orbital period of about 2516 years and its orbit doesn't take it close around the Sun as it's perihelion (Nearest point to the Sun) was well beyond the orbit of Mars, at 2.133 AU for this pass. This would be the reason for its unusually disrupted or 'turbulent' appearance #perthnews #spacenews #space #comets #glassplates #astrophotography #photography #nightsky #nightphotography #night #cosmos #universe #perthobservatory #perthobs #sky #starrynight #nightimages #photooftheday
Thanks to @mattkeogh for taking time out of his busy schedule on Wednesday night to come up and gaze at the stars with us and also learn about the amazing history of the Observatory. We really appreciate your support

#Perth #WA here are two nice shots of the Moon taken in 1958 with our Markowitz Camera. In the first image you can see the Man/Rabbit on the Moon. The head is the Sea of Tranquility where Apollo 11 landed nearly 50 years ago #perthnews #MoonLanding #MoonLanding50  #Apollo11 #Apollo50 #apollo50th #apollo11anniversary #apollo1150thanniversary #apollo11mission
