Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College Is Mars Alive? From Spaceflight Now - "Compelling new data that chemical and fossil evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars was carried to Earth in a Martian meteorite is being elevated to a higher plane by the same NASA team which made the initial discovery 13 years ago."

Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College Tonight, November 25th, the International Space Station (ISS) and the Space Shuttle Atlantis make a brief appearance in our northwestern sky. Starting at about 6:52pm, the ISS appears just above the Northwest horizon, followed a few seconds later by the slightly dimmer Space Shuttle Atlantis. We only have about 2 min...utes of viewing before both spacecraft enter the Earth's shadow at 6:54pm. The ISS will the brighter and the "lead" object, trailed by the slightly dimmer Space Shuttle. The "green arrow" on the star chart provided depicts the direction of travel. Both craft enter the Earth's shadow and disappear at 6:54pm. This will be a low and quick look! Good luck and clear skies.
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College Here's some "sunset trivia" to share around the turkey day table. Do you know what the Sun does this evening that it will do for the next 2 weeks? Starting on Wednesday evening, November 25th and continuing until December 10th, the time of sunset for San Antonio is exactly the same, 5:35 p.m. Sunsets during the next... 2 weeks are the earliest of the year! Not even sunset at 5:39 p.m. on December 21st, the shortest day of the year, can match the early sunsets now taking place. The Sun is definitely "early to bed."
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College What a strange story! As astronomy celebrates the 400th birthday of the invention of the telescope, a bizarre account today unfolds regarding Galileo's missing fingers being found in a jar in Italy. See the CNN link to learn more. Who knew?

Two fingers cut from the hand of Italian astronomer Galileo nearly 300 years ago have been rediscovered more than a century after they were last seen, an Italian museum director said Monday.
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College November 23rd. Tonight after sunset, a lovely view of the nearly First Quarter Moon alongside bright Jupiter will greet star gazers. Both the Moon and planet Jupiter are situated amidst the stars of Capricornus the Sea-Goat. A pair of binoculars will reveal Jupiter's 4 brightest moons.

Learn about one of the greatest mysterious of the universe at the Scobee Planetarium.
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College The Leonid meteor shower is predicted to reach peak activity during the late night hours of November 16th and the early morning of the 17th. Observers might see 20 to 30 meteors per hour under a dark, country sky. The Moon offers little interference this year, so the predawn viewing conditions on Tuesday morning shou...ld be ideal. Remember, only the brightest meteors may be seen from the light-polluted skies of a city. A trip to the darker skies of the country is always best for meteor watching. A telescope or binoculars are not required, just your eyes! A possible "spike" in Leonid activity could produce 200 to 300 Leonids per hour for observers in Asia. Sadly, this possible "spike" does not favor our part of the world. Good luck.
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College NEWS FLASH! NASA has discovered water on the moon, based on data from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite, or LCROSS, that plunged into the moon last month, the principal investigator for LCROSS said Friday.Anthony Colaprete said at the start of his comments to reporters, "Indeed, yes, we found water.""...The discovery opens a new chapter in our understanding of the moon," NASA said in a written statement. More details coming in!
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College "Black Holes" as the ultimate Friday the 13th unlucky cosmic experience will be the topic of tomorrow morning's appearance on KENS 5 TV "Great Day SA." The show airs between 9:00 - 10am, Friday, November 13th.

Without revealing too many details, the "Special Prize" involves a telescope and the stars! You must be in the crowd to win!
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College November 11th marks a "stellar" anniversary. On this night in 1572, Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe, noted a "new star" shining brilliantly in the constellation of Cassiopeia. To Tycho, the "new star" was as brilliant as Jupiter, but soon it equaled the brilliance of Venus, brightest of all planets. For about two weeks... the star could be seen in daylight. As November ended, the "new star" began to fade, changing color from bright white, to yellow, then orange, to a faint reddish light, before finally fading from visibility in March, 1574. Tycho’s “new star” had been visible to the naked eye for about 16 months! What the world had witnessed was a supernova, the brilliant explosion of a super massive star about 7500 light years from Earth. Because it was believed that all beyond the Moon was constant, Tycho realized this was no ordinary celestial event, but a “change” to what was believed “unchanging.” In his treatise, “De Nova Stella” (the New Star), Tycho labeled those who dismissed the astronomical implications of the “new star” as, "Oh thick wits, Oh blind watchers of the sky." The supernova of 1572 is the brightest of its kind for the last 1,000 years!

Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College Tonight's superb view of the ISS flying over San Antonio begins at 6:21pm in the southwest. ISS directly overhead at 6:24pm and then enters Earth's shadow at 6:27pm in the northeast. It will be very, very bright! See you outside!
Scobee Planetarium at San Antonio College Weather permitting, this Saturday evening, November 7th, the International Space Station (ISS) passes directly over San Antonio. The ISS appears above the southwestern horizon at about 6:21pm. Three minutes later at 6:24pm, the ISS is almost directly above our city, moving towards the Northeast. After a total viewing t...ime of about 6 minutes, the ISS enters into the Earth’s shadow above the Northeast horizon at about 6:27pm. The ISS looks like an extremely bright white colored "star." It's orbiting the Earth at about 17,500mph. This is one of the best ISS viewing opportunities we’ve had in quite some time! The green arrow on star chart indicates direction of travel. East and West are not reversed when map is held overhead. Wishing you clear skies!
