GLAS Messier Marathon 2021 GLAS will be participating in the Unistellar Messier Marathon with an eVscope! The eVscope will allow us to share images as they come live with our audience ...

This episode will not be at the normal time as we wanted to make sure that Dr. Bonne was not up too late in the UK. Join us Saturday at 1pm Central to learn about the Tactile Universe project and the amazing work being done!
The Tactile Universe: Galaxies At Your Fingertips. Featuring Dr. Nic Bonne

Even if you can’t go into any observatories right now, the internet is full of wonder!

Kate here, reporting from the GLAS Office. I could have joined this online, test-drive, of a Messier Marathon from home but I couldn't have set up this amazing array of computers. It takes me three computers to keep up with this enthusastic group (all under the age of 30). This practice run is being lead by Amanda Pagul , Katya Gozman and Adam McCulloch (GLAS Ed). We will be imaging Messier objects (you will have to google that) with a remotely operated telescope in California. It's not as fun as a traditional Messier Marathon but it's a lot warmer!

Send an email to [email protected] if you a one of the many middle school and high school students out there who is interested in learning more about astronomy and want a parent-disapproval-proof reason for staying up all night. We are here for you!!

The rest of you. . . put your favorite Messier object in the comment box and I will post the image as we grab them.

Happy Halloween everyone! Come by today to watch a space themed horror movie. Current winner is Alien, but this is a democracy so you can make your vote count in our Facebook group. Either way I hope to see you there at 8pm!
