The Observation Deck

The Moon on 6.4.2017, 1:00am

Last night Jupiter jumped into the moon view.


Jupiter is the white dot on the bottom right.


The Moon and Jupiter as seen from Lakewood last night, Jupiter as the Hubble Telescope see it, and finally the way scientists and science fiction writers saw it 100 years ago.

And the star of the sky, most nights, the Moon.

All seen from the front porch of a house in Lakewood!

Great photos Jim, the Hubble telescope hasn't provided such clear pictures of the universe to the general public, has NASA contacted you yet?

Actually the Jupiter photo is a Hubble Image.

They have corrected all the issues with the Hubble, and have upgraded the cameras.

Here are the top 100 images from the Hubble:

Interesting sidenote, one of our first programmers, and photographers Rami, is now a photographer for NASA!

Spectacular photo's, I viewed every one, I'd like to see those on the big screen, a dark & cozy theater.
