Latest-generation CMOS cameras make astrophotography easier than ever.Ĭheck out this on-going, all-sky survey being created by three amateurs. The TESS space telescope is expanding our knowledge of exoplanets to those orbiting the smallest and closest stars. Star names trace the diverse roots of modern science. Let’s explore springtime’s stunning sideways galaxy. Scientists are building two vast “observatories” to help them study elusive particles. Many of the names on the International Astronomical Union’s list go back almost 2,000 years, and we trace that long history. This star’s name may be first on the list alphabetically, but it’s also one of the youngest. Also in this issue, can you name all 450 officially approved colloquial star names? We’ll get you started with Absolutno, a star that got its name in 2019 because of its exoplanet. Plus, come join us as we explore the specialized observatories built to hunt down exoplanets and elusive particles known as neutrinos. We’ll also show you how to capture all of this edge-on galaxy’s fine detail using the latest live-stacking cameras. In the May 2023 issue of Sky & Telescope, we’re skimming the edges of NGC 4565, a stunning sideways galaxy in Coma Berenices.

Try this simple mask design to see uneven double stars.īy Sordini & Harold Suiter Beyond the Printed Page: One hundred years ago astronomers thought large, cool stars were destined to become stars like the Sun. Planetary scientists want their next flagship mission to target one of the ice giants in the outer solar system.īriefcase-size craft have become game-changers in space exploration.įollow this guide to learn how to snag a clutch of planetary nebulae under city skies. Then, we test out a simple design for apodizing masks that can be made at home using basic tools and supplies. Also in this issue, we’re breaking out the telescopes to snare a few planetary nebulae from our urban and suburban driveways. While these little spacecraft allow us to investigate our home planet and the Moon, astronomers are petitioning to send a flagship mission much farther than that, to study Uranus and its moons. These briefcase-size craft are less expensive than the full-size versions, enabling students to send their own satellites into space. In the July 2023 issue of Sky & Telescope, we’re learning about astronomers who are sending out a veritable swarm of satellites to study our solar system.
