  1. The #moon is very close to the #Pleiades today. With strong #Earthshine too. Here's a #timelapse as it sets.
    If you pay close attention you can see the relative motion of the moon against the stars.

  2. Fun in the skies this April: timeanddate.com/news/astronomy

    "Despite the name, April’s Pink Moon won’t actually appear pink. The name is thought to come from pink phlox flowers that bloom in North America around this time of year." Oh well.

    I've never heard of "earthshine" before, so I had to look it up. NASA earthshine article: science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-o

    Apparently it's better in the spring.

  6. Creation timelapse of my #PastelDrawing of a 7% #WaxingCrescent #Moon with #earthshine. This was a silver wedding anniversary gift showing the Moon on the couple's wedding day. #PastelPencils & sticks on black A4 paper #AstronomyArt #MoonArt #MoonDrawing #PastelArt #SpaceArt

  7. This is probably one for #astrodon:

    My ace DMI colleague @Hotblack43 is sending a fancy camera up to the #ISS with #AndreasMogensen on the #Huginn mission this week + calling for people to make + post full moon snaps here in RAW or NEF format (NOT Jpeg) tagged #NewMoonSnap

    It's to help measure the earth's #albedo + perhaps solve an important #climate puzzle

  8. Star guest at #DMIdk's colloquium today. Danish #Astronaut #AndreasMogensen will spend 6 months on the #ISS where he will be carrying out some experimental observations of #Earthshine on the #Moon in collaboration with my colleague @Hotblack43 to assess #Clouds surface #albedo and to scope a new #Satellite mission to assess #TOA #Radiation in #ClimateModels
