Nzoner's Game Room>Space Exploration megathread
DaFace 09:40 AM 06-01-2014
Since a number of cool things are happening in space exploration these days, we'll widen the scope of this thread a smidge. Conversation about all things space exploration are welcome, whether it be from NASA, SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, or anyone else. Chances are most of the discussion will still be about SpaceX since they love to make things public and fun, but nothing's off limits. I'll eventually get around to modifying the OP to include resources for other companies too, but in the meantime, feel free to post any cool stuff you run across.

This isn't "exploration" so much as it's just cool, but if you are willing to get up before sunrise the next few days, you should be able to see the comet NEOWISE in the east just above where the sun comes up.

How to see Comet NEOWISE ☄️

Gianluca Masi of the Virtual Telescope Project captured comet NEOWISE along with the International Space Station in this dawn view of Rome, Italy. �� There's not much time left to see the comet. Here's how you can see it: https://t.co/UMBa2E5nSl pic.twitter.com/ClD1lYBPXR

If this doesn't convince you that the moon landings were faked, then nothing will.....

Has anyone seen this yet? I've looked the past few nights when we didn't have clouds with no luck.

I went out around 4:30am on Sunday and caught it. Shitty cell phone shot, but...



eDave caught it as well:

Galaxy S10e. Pro settings: F/1.5,4". ISO400. 6 stacked frames (burst shots) to produce the final image using CombineZP.
It's been cloudy every evening here, though. Looking like it MIGHT be clear enough tonight. We'll see.

One tip is to use an app on your phone to help figure out where it should be. I use Star Walk 2 on Android, but there are probably a variety that could do it.

Awesome pics by you and edave. I use sky map but it isn't tracking comets. I'll either get up early or keep watching late.

Thanks. I'm going to try in the morning. As of now I've only tried at night.

I don't believe it is visible in the morning. Look how far it traveled between mine and Daface's pics which were both taken at 4:30 local. And mine has mountains in front of the true horizon. She's outta there. I'm going to hike up a small neighborhood mountain I use to view monsoons coming up from the south through Indian territory and try and get a view but I bet S. Mountain will block my view looking north. May drive out tomorrow for another shot. Maybe climb S. Mountain but it sucks coming down at night.
