This small video shows how to find the globular cluster NGC 4833, which is in the constellation Musca. It’s quite a tricky glob to find, especially if the Moon is out or you have any light pollution. I spotted it with 15X70 binoculars two nights ago and in the telescope you can resolve a few stars.
What’s in the night sky in June with Hari, Peter and Sam.
103 years ago today, New Zealand and Australian troops landed at Gallipoli in World War 1. We have a look at what the night sky may have looked like in the early hours before the landings on 25th April 1915.
Over the last couple of weeks Milky-Way.kiwi has made a few videos of how to find some interesting night sky objects. This article summarises them to build a whole evening of astronomy.
Milky-Way.Kiwi is a social enterprise for quality and affordable access to the night sky run by professional space science communicators. We provide educational services for teachers and schools – Spaceward Bound NZ, stargazing and astronomy and space courses and programmes for the public – Star Safari and we write about space and astronomy with a New Zealand perspective.
At Star Safari, everyone 15 and younger is FREE because we believe that young people should not pay for inspiration.
