danaWe've been visiting with Jupiter and its four largest moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto - this week, with the Celestron 4.5 inch reflector. Quick to set up and get pointed. We're using an Oliphon 20mm eyepiece with a good field of view. Gets a nice yellow tone on Jupiter.
Liam O'Mara IV, PhDThe first observation of the #JovianMoons was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1610. #GalileoGalilei used his custom telescope and first saw the larger #Ganymede & #Callisto, with the smaller #Io & #Europa sighted the following night. These observations proved the #Copernican solar model.

New Telescope Images of Io are so Good, it Looks like a Spacecraft Took Them
The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), located on Mount Graham in Arizona and run by the University of Arizona, is part of the next generation of extremely large telescopes (ELTs). With two primary mirrors measuring 8.4 m (~27.5 ft), it has a collecting area slightly greater than that of a 30-meter (98.4 ft) telescope. With their … Continue reading "New Telescope Images of Io are so Good, it Looks like a Spacecraft Took Them"

Danielle RoseI dug this out to photograph for a Twitter challenge and realized, almost nobody has seen it (because it’s almost 30 years old, sigh.)

Arnab GuptaI remember poring over #astronomy magazines in the mid-1990s reading in awe of new moons being discovered around #Jupiter and #Saturn. The moon counts, if I recall correctly, were in the 40s-50s then. Fun to see basically the same headline 25-30 years later!

Elle Nerdinger M.A.Oye Beltalowda! It is a felota pic but Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto are aligned beautifully this evening. #AstroPhotograpy #Jupiter #JovianMoons #jovianSatellites
