Welcome to April! If you were not able to view the March 3 Lunar eclipse, check it out on the Goldendale Observatory website, at www.goldendaleobservatory.com. Look under “special events” and you can watch a video of the entire eclipse, or a two-minute timelapse.
Our third month of the year brings us a total Lunar Eclipse, the vernal equinox, and a nice pairing of the Moon and Jupiter. Hopefully the clouds will part at the right time for viewing some of these events.
Happy New Year! Welcome to January. Our first month features Jupiter’s closest approach for the year, and plenty of bright stars to view. Nights will be cold and mostly cloudy, but step outside when skies clear for a stunning view, even if it is a short one!
Welcome to November! One of our cloudier months, and certainly not one with a lot of clear skies. However, when the clouds do clear, early sunsets mean the ability to view the skies earlier in the evening. Get out when you can!
January’s nights are cold, and usually cloudy. But the winter nights present some excellent stargazing when skies are clear. When you get the chance, bundle up and head outside for a bit!
November is here! For most,it’s not their favorite month. The days grow colder and cloudier, and rains return in force. Usually, we are greeted with our first snow in the month. But when the clouds do part, the night sky greets us earlier.
