The 2008 Perseid Meteor Shower
ObservingMark your calendar: The 2008 Perseid meteor shower peaks on August 12th and it should be a good show.

"The time to look is during the dark hours before dawn on Tuesday, August 12th," says Bill Cooke of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "There should be plenty of meteors--perhaps one or two every minute."

Photon Addiction
News @ NJNSPhoton addiction is a pathological state. The disorder is characterized by the progression of acute telescope use to the development of photon-seeking behavior. Previously rewarding naked eye stimuli is no longer sufficient. Treatment is difficult, relapse is common.

In past decades, photon addiction was seen in isolated cases. With the increased availability of astronomy books, software and affordable quality equipment, it is fast becoming an epidemic. If you think a friend or loved one is suffering from photon addiction and needs intervention, please consult our handy symptom finder.

Year's first lunar eclipse will have a special guest Feb 20, 2008
ObservingStar watchers get a double treat this month with both the moon and Saturn putting on special shows.

The moon begins moving into Earth's shadow at 7:43 p.m. Feb. 20. Totality begins 78 minutes later at 9:01 p.m. and lasts for 51 minutes.

Saturn also puts in an appearance. Look for the ringed planet four degrees to the lower left of the eclipsed moon.

Although Earth is blocking the sun's light, the eclipsed moon is not totally dark. Earth's atmosphere acts like a lens, bending light into the shadow.

Female Figure on Mars Just a Rock
Astro NewsThe idea that there may be life on Mars has been around for centuries, but the theory got a dubious boost from recently released photos of the surface of Mars (taken by the NASA robot Spirit) apparently showing a human-like figure. Several Internet sites have glommed onto the image and suggested the figure could be alive.

But what is it? Just a rock, astronomers say.

It's hard enough to accurately recognize figures and faces across the room. Mars, depending on when you measure it, is about 35 million miles away. The best telescopes aren't of much help in determining surface features, and that's why NASA sent robots with cameras to Mars.

Three crewmen aboard the “Mir” space station returned safely to Earth after bidding farewell to the 13-year-old Russian orbiter. The Russian government had planned to abandon Mir in 2000 because of a shortage of funds, but has since extended its mission.
