The cold has set upon much of the northern hemisphere, but the warmth in our homes, with chimney smoke above, is comforting. Outside in the cold, starry and clear winter nights bring us some of the most wonderful stars. Who can really be unimpressed by Orion? So, what kind of interesting things can you see […]
Once again, we need to dress warmly, when we leave our homes. With the cold wind blowing at your ears, your feet turning into icicles and your hands so cold that setting up your telescope is a hurdle and you can barely hold your Universe2go, night time observation becomes less appealing. So this doesn’t happen to […]
Today on the 14th of November, we get to experience yet another Supermoon. The concept originates not from astronomy, but is often used by the media, when a full moon is especially close to Earth. How do we get a “supermoon”? The Moon does not orbit the Earth in a perfect circle, rather in an […]

For those who want to know more about the night sky, we have good news. Never before has there been such a large selection of star maps. Never before has it been so easy to quickly get an idea of what constellation you are looking at. The reason? Astronomy apps, of course. When open on […]
Once upon, there was a unicorn, a phoenix and a centaur. They all have long had something in common… their names grace three of the total 88 constellations, which were specified in 1922 by the International Astronomical Union. But how did these constellations come to be? Spherical Astronomy From Earth, the bright stars in the […]
The one or the other non-astronomy may have asked the question of what fixed stars are, a topic oft discussed. This question is one, which we would like to answer today! Fixed stars, a term that comes from Latin stellae fixae, are stars that appear to remain in the same position as compared to others in […]

“Have you ever seen the Moon,” asked a professor, ironically, of one of his pupils. “No, sir,” replied the pupil, still more ironically. “But I must say I have heard it spoken of.” (From Jules Verne’s novel All Around the Moon). Let’s then speak of the Moon, just as the science fiction author Jules Verne. This […]
Yesterday, many had the fantastic opportunity to follow an event of astronomical proportions – the transit of Mercury! For the first time in 13 years, Mercury passed in front of the sun just for our viewing pleasure. Much unlike observing a solar eclipse, witnessing the transit of Mercury is not so easy. With a telescope […]
Mercury will wander in front of the Sun on the 9th of May to offer us a fascinating spectacle. Within a time frame of 7.5 hours, the closest planet will move across the lower half of the solar disk – a slow and steady pace indeed. Looking at the bigger picture, the phenomenon is more seldom […]
This weekend, it is well worth the effort to have a look at Jupiter. The great red spot, the red eye of Jupiter, will be a perfect object to observe. Side note: The Moon is in its waning phase in the last quarter before a new Moon, making it less of a disturbance to observation. The evening […]
On the 9th of May, we will experience an amazing event in the transit of Mercury. In light of the event’s rarity, good preparation is a must. The right equipment, to follow the event and avoid damage to your eyes, is the topic of the day. Solar Filters and a Telescope Never observe the Sun […]
Whoever goes out at night and looks up at the sky is often disappointed, above all while living in a city. As a result of artificial light, the night sky has become brighter, so much so that we can often no longer see the stars. Such an issue is especially unnerving, since so many people […]
Astronomy has a problem: the objects that it wants to research are not directly tangible as is the case with objects in physics, chemistry or biology. As a result, measuring stars is not such an easy task, as determining the weight of a body or the contents of a liquid. Determining, the brightness of a […]
A couple of numbers come to mind in astronomy that are part of the fields general knowledge. One such number is the Moon’s distance to the Earth. If you were to venture a guess of 384,00 km (238,600 miles), you’d be pretty close. This number, however, is only the median distance of the Moon. Since Johannes […]
A typical springtime constellation is Boötes, the Shepherd – a large and very noticeable constellation, which is best observed during the Spring.

Leo Minor – the little lion – is a rather inconspicuous constellation, which probably only a few know of and even fewer know how to find it. Exactly for this reason, we would like to introduce this little lion to you. In the stellar map, the constellation is made up of only a few stars connected […]
We introduced the constellation Leo just last week and we are happy to stay in this region of the sky for the time being, because Leo heralds the beginning of Spring. In the southern sky, you will find Leo, which is easily spotted by searching for an upside-down question mark, made by the stars Algenubi, Algieba and […]
The coming weekend and days following belong to the largest planet of our solar systems. Jupiter will reach opposition on the 8th of March.

How to find […]
Fascination for the night sky is often widespread, especially to those living with little light pollution. Men and Women alike take a heavy interest in what happens in the Universe. After conducting a survey with TNS Emnid we can say roughly half of participants believe even minimal knowledge of the stars would easily impress others. So, why […]
As a result of our cities’ light pollution it is often not so easy to identify constellations in the night sky. From the city, stargazers often only see the very luminous stars, the brightest of which is Sirius, while only Venus and Jupiter are capable of matching its light. In our area in Europe, Sirius is never […]
