Wormholes are a sci-fi trope that everybody has heard of, a swirly (often blue-colored) tube that lets the protagonist jump between large distances or to other worlds. Of course, wormholes of this type are pure […]
Planetary viewing remains poor in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly for observers located at or above latitude 450N. Moreover, most of the planets will remain within about 20 or so degrees above the horizon for observers […]
This year, the September Equinox occurs at 00:55 UTC on September 23rd. On this date, the amounts of light and darkness will be almost equal across the world, which marks the autumnal equinox in the […]
Life on Earth is plentiful and nearly all-encompassing to the point where it is hard to truly imagine what a ‘lifeless’ area would look like. Nevertheless, we have only to look away from the Earth […]
In August, planetary viewing remains poor for observers situated north of latitude 500N. Observers between latitude 250N and latitude 500N, on the other hand, might be able to spot some of the inner planets at […]
Sky watchers can look forward to observing a Super Moon in July, as well as the annual Delta Aquarids meteor shower, noted for their persistent ionized gas trails. This month, planetary viewing remains difficult for […]

This year, the Summer Solstice will occur on June 21st at 9:05 UTC. At this time, the Sun will be directly over the Tropic of Cancer, marking the first day of summer in the Northern […]
There’s a wealth of astronomical occurrences to delight in May. Look out for the Eta Aquarids, a Halley’s Comet associated meteor shower, producing around 30 meteors per hour during its peak on the nights of […]
