School’s Out for Summer

I cannot help but hear those words sung by Alice Cooper… My wife is out of school for the summer, and our granddaughter is with us as I write this, soon to be whisked off to swimming lessons.

Connie is teaching astronomy again next year (yea!) but this time it will be for 23 weeks! She has to update her curriculum for this class and add a bunch of material – I suggested that amount of time might actually be enough to teach the very basics of astronomy adequately.

Both the Great Lakes Association of Astronomy Clubs and the Warren Astronomical Society are discussing when we will return to in-person events; a lot depends on the requirements of the metroparks and state parks. There has been discussion of requesting attendees be fully vaccinated, but there’s no way to verify that status. I don’t know how comfortable other presenters would be at this time operating a telescope publicly, but I’d rather not… not yet…

The Sky - In the Sky

Jupiter and Saturn appear in the southern sky before dawn – Jupiter’s distance from Saturn widening each week.

Mars and Venus appear above the western horizon at dusk all week – getting closer towards each other over the week. The Waxing Crescent Moon appears high above the horizon and to the south on June 15th.

A thin Waxing Crescent Moon appears high in the western sky at dusk on June 15th; Mars appears lower and to the southwest of the Moon, and Venus appears even lower above the horizon. Credit: Bob Trembley / Stellarium.

The Moon appears in conjunction with the star Spica after sunset in the southwestern sky on June 22nd.

The Moon appears near the constellation Scorpius in the southern sky after sunset on June 22nd – heading towards a conjunction with Antares on June 23rd.

The Big Dipper appears low about the northwestern horizon in the wee hours of the morning.

The Moon - In the Sky
  • The Moon is a Waxing Crescent – visible to the southwest in the early evening.
  • The First Quarter Moon occurs on June 17th – it will be visible high in the southern sky in early evening.
  • After June 17th, the Moon will be a Waxing Gibbous – visible to the southeast in early evening, and up for most of the night.

If you click on the Moon image above, or click this link, you will go to NASA’s Moon Phase and Libration, 2021 page – it will show you what the Moon looks like right now. If you click the image on that page, you will download a high-rez TIFF image annotated with the names of prominent features – helpful for logging your lunar observations!

Moon News:

When the #Artemis I mission flies around the Moon later this year, there won’t be any astronauts aboard. But there will be a very important passenger: a manikin.

The manikin will record vibrations during the mission from the @NASA_Orion commander's seat: https://t.co/WWm39raG1r pic.twitter.com/eDnR1oohL5

A commenter suggested naming him “Jebediah” in reference to a pilot in Kerbal Space Program – I could not agree more!

The Sun - In the Sky

The Sun has 2 spots – sunspot AR2824 (mentioned in my May 25 post) is returning after rotating around the Sun’s far side; per tradition, the sunspot has been renumbered as AR2833.

There are multiple regions of coronal loop activity – the one rotating into view with AR2833 is moderately active. The northern coronal hole remains large but seems weaker than last week. The southern hole remains small, but has a very large tendril that is reaching all the way up to the equator.

Solar wind speed is 373.4 km/sec ▼, with a density of 33.2 protons/cm3 ▲▲▲ at 1141 UT.

NOTE: I believe this is the highest I’ve ever seen the density of the solar wind!

The Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of NGC 7049 in the constellation of Indus, in the southern sky. Globular clusters are sprinkled across the galaxy’s halo, and dust lanes are backlit by millions of stars.

I can’t recall having seen NGC 7049 before – I LOVE finding new and interesting astronomical objects like this!
