Forget hype on the net re planets creating perfectly straight line - NOT happening! However, tonight & remainder of January, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will be visible at once. Show the family the gentle arc from west to east & tell your friends, but don't miss it! Enjoy!
Don't miss the Geminid Meteor Shower over the next three mornings. See full story here: facebook.com/photo.php?fbid…
BEAUTIFUL VENUS & MOON...NOW! Don't waste any time, run outside right now - it's clear and there's a stunning pairing of bright Venus and the crescent moon in the western sky. Show the family and tell your friends, but hurry!
Tonight - early evening, look east for the rising 'supermoon'...BUT WAIT, there's more! Almost touching at its right, is Saturn! It's a rare sight to see them so near each other in this conjunction. But it's an illusion - the moon is 356,000 km from us, Saturn is 1.2 billion!
Last night here was strong auroral activity, however most of southern Victoria was rained out. It's worth having a try again tonight as activity may continue. For more details on when, where and how see my FB page 'Perry Vlahos Astronomy'. (Painting F Church 1865)
The Chinese Space Station - Tiangong, makes a 'bullseye' pass over Melbourne tonight, seen easily with naked eye. Gather family, friends and look for it at 9:42 PM low in the WNW sky. It will slowly climb overhead & challenge Jupiter's brightness. Good luck/clear skies.
GEMINID METEORS TO PUT ON SHOW! It'll be active overnight, and also even better tomorrow night. Predictions are for about 30 meteors per hour Friday morning around 3 AM from the country. In the city, halve that number. Look NE, chart shows the northern sky at approx 2:30 AM.
It looks clear tonight, let's not waste it - find the oldest thing you will ever easily see with your naked eye from Melbourne - the star Arcturus, about 7.5 billion years old. Between 6 - 6:30 PM over the next week it's 30° above the horizon, halfway between N & NW.
VENUS & MOON; Tomorrow night, 22 June, there'll be a spectacular sight in the north-west after sunset - thin crescent moon & bright Venus. They'll appear close but in reality moon is 384,000 km from earth, Venus will be almost 85 million km us! Share with family & friends.
Intense auroral display occurred this morning if you were up prior to dawn. It was brief but very energetic and seen all over rural Victoria. This pic is from ASV's dark sky site in central Victoria, taken by Eddie Pang!
Couldn't get to Exmouth for eclipse today, thought I'd share it with passersby outside my house in Melbourne. Got inundated by the curious, managed a quick low quality pic with phone at eyepiece.
I'm 'Astronomer in Residence' at Meredith Golden Plains Festival this weekend, showing punters the Universe during the night and sun during the day. Combines my two loves - music & astronomy. If you're there come up to Sunset Strip, say hello & have a look through the telescopes.
Venus/Jupiter get very close! From 1 - 3 March. Show family/tell friends, don't miss. Start watching tonight low in the west after sunset. Venus is the brighter. Closest Thurs, only 1/2° apart. It'll be a spectacular sight! Appear close but are 650 million km apart. Naked eye!
@eezzed Check out my 'Perry Vlahos Astronomy' Facebook page as I give a good description there of where to look. However, be prepared to be disappointed. I tried binoculars last night and saw nothing from suburbs!
@danprice_astro @PeterMacCC @HaghighiNeda @MelbBrainSurg Very best wishes Daniel for a rapid and full recovery - good luck!
DON'T MISS VENUS, SATURN & MOON! We're in for a treat low in W next three nights. The fun starts tonight when soon after sunset Venus & Saturn get close. Sunday even closer, and Monday night a very thin crescent moon, joins the party for a group hug! Start observing by 9 PM.
It's 20 years since the devastating fire that ripped through Mt Stromlo Observatory. Sadly it destroyed the Observatory, but no lives were lost. Like a Phoenix from the ashes... youtube.com/watch?v=Kyu1Ol…
Geminid meteor shower is happening overnight tonight (Wed morning), and also btn midnight and dawn Thursday morning. If you've got clear sky go out and have a look. More info here: facebook.com/profile.php?id…

WHAT TELESCOPE TO BUY FOR XMAS? Here's some timely advice to stop you from wasting money on the wrong telescope for a loved one, or yourself. There's an awful lot of junk out there to be avoided. See the longer article here: facebook.com/profile.php?id…
