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.<br> <br> <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!<br> <br> <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.<br> <br> <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>
