Hi all,
Last month we explored the Messier catalog, which features a variety of objects, from distant nebulae to bright star clusters. This month, we’re narrowing our focus a bit and seeking out those spring “faint fuzzies” — aka galaxies! Come out and join us next Saturday (4/17) at 8:30PM for a virtual tour of April’s finest galactic objects.
What makes spring the optimal season for hunting galaxies? What is Markarian’s Chain? And why do we get so excited over these fuzzy spirals and blobs? If you have questions like this, tune in to get the answers, supplemented with a variety of live images and presentations from our members. Don’t forget that any other galaxy questions you may have can be asked, live, in the Facebook chat or beforehand by using the form on the following page https://www.buffaloastronomy.com/ask-the-astronomer/
You’ll be able to catch the stream once it goes live on our Facebook page, or on our Youtube channel. Keep your fingers crossed for good galaxy-viewing weather, and see you then!
