Night Sky Note for January 26, 2008

Posted on 26 January 2008 · 420 views · 64 words.

Tonight: Venus and Jupiter are shining bright, low in the southeast 6° apart. Venus is shining at -3.9 magnitude. Jupiter is fainter at -1.7 magnitude. Saturn is in the WSW shining at 0.4 magnitude. Remember, the higher the magnitude number, the fainter the object is.

I am studying for my PhD in Astronomy at Cardiff University in the UK. Star formation is my main area of research but really I like anything to do with space, science and the internet.
