  1. Mars, rather faint, low in the evening sky of southern New Mexico.

    The second graphic is a finder chart from planetarium software.

    Because of the bright star mnemonics I learned long ago, I imagine a big arch in this part of the sky.

    Starting with the Big Dipper, follow the curve of the handle...it's the "arc to Arcturus". Then keep on spikin' to Spica (which is a bit left and higher than orange-red Mars).

  4. The #comet ZTF is getting brighter, as it comes closer to the #Sun, and should soon be visible to the #NakedEye under a clear, unpolluted and northern #sky. It is currently located in the constellation of Corona Borealis (between #Hercules and the #Bootes). Today's #APOD is a #picture of #ZTF revealing its long tail.

  6. I observed the newly discovered Type I supernova SN2022oqm a few nights ago!

    SN2022oqm is located in the nearby galaxy NGC 5875. It was discovered on July 11, 2022 at an initial magnitude of ~17 but is getting brighter.

  7. Mu BoΓΆtis (Alkalurops)

    Magnitude 4.3 and 7.1 pair of double stars located 121 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. The pair makes a revolution once in 260 years.

  8. Xi BoΓΆtis

    Binary star located 22.0 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. The brighter, primary star of the pair is a yellow-white star much like our own Sun and has a visual magnitude of 4.70. The secondary is a smaller and cooler orange-red star with a magnitude of 7.0.

  9. Iota BoΓΆtis

    Double star located 94.8 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. The primary star is a variable star that varies in brightness between magnitude 4.73 to 4.78. The companion star, HD 234121, has a magnitude of 8.27.

  10. Epsilon BoΓΆtis (Izar)

    Magnitude 2.37 to 5.12 binary star system located 236 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. The primary star is a yellow-orange giant, and the secondary star a white main sequence star. The pair revolves around each other every 1,000 years.

  11. Arcturus

    Magnitude -0.05 star located 36.7 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. It is the brightest star in the northern celestial hemisphere and the 4th brightest in the sky. Arcturus is a single red giant around 7.1 billion years old. It has the same mass as the Sun but has expanded to 25 times its size and is 170 times as luminous.

  12. NGC 5466

    Magnitude 10.5 global cluster located 51,900 light-years away in the constellation BoΓΆtes. It's low surface brightness gives it an etheral, ghostly glow.
