Stargazers, bittersweet news — our 2026 Messier Marathon at Westport Observatory is cancelled. Today's the first day of spring, and spring showed up RIGHT on cue with clouds and rain to shut us down! We were ready to chase all 110 Messier objects, but Mother Nature had other plans. Clear skies ahead! https://was-ct.org/

Want to try to do a #messierMarathon in 2024 (weather permitting). I was surprised as to how many objects on the list I haven’t seen despite being a deep sky observer for decades.

To close out Hubble's 2023 #MessierMarathon, here's a new image of M19!
M19 is a star cluster with a slightly elongated shape. It's relatively close to the heart of our Milky Way, so the gravity from the galactic center could be stretching it: https://go.nasa.gov/40mqDld

The Messier Catalog is a resource that includes many astronomical sights from the northern hemisphere. We’re sharing new Hubble images of Messier objects so you can “stargaze” from your screen.
Join us for a mini #MessierMarathon, no matter where you are! https://go.nasa.gov/42k0GVr

Just in time for the 2023 #MessierMarathon, Hubble has a new view of M80 to share.
M80 is one of the densest globular clusters in the Milky Way. It's about 28,000 light-years away from Earth and contains hundreds of thousands of stars: https://go.nasa.gov/3JNPpp1

Hubble has imaged most of the objects in the Messier catalog, which includes fascinating astronomical targets that can be observed from the northern hemisphere.
You can even try to find them all for a #MessierMarathon in March's ideal viewing conditions!

The Crab Nebula is also classified as “Messier 1” – the first object in the Messier catalog, a list of cosmic objects compiled by astronomer Charles Messier.
In fact, some astronomers will even attempt a #MessierMarathon: a challenge to find all the catalog’s objects in a night!

M1 Crab Nebula
M1 Crab Nebula is a supernova remnant and pulsar wind nebula. It is located in the northern constellation Taurus, the Bull. The Crab Nebula has an apparent magnitude of 8.4 and lies at a distance of 6,500 light years from Earth. It is the result of a supernova explosion, SN 1054, that was observed by Chinese astronomers in 1054 AD.

M42 Great Nebula in Orion
Messier 42 (M42), the famous Orion Nebula, is an emission-reflection nebula located in the constellation Orion, the Hunter. With an apparent magnitude of 4.0, the Orion Nebula is one of the brightest nebulae in the sky and is visible to the naked eye. It lies at a distance of 1,344 light years from Earth and is the nearest stellar nursery to Earth.

M92
Magnitude 6.4 globular cluster located 26,700 light-years away in the constellation Hercules. M92 is approaching us at 112 km/sec and was a "Polarissima Borealis", or "North Cluster", about 12,000 years ago (10,000 BC), and it will again in about 14,000 years (16,000 AD).
