Science video on Mars presenting VRMars Astronomy Software. The video shows panoramas and images, including the “Whale” panorama and Martian sunset, taken by NASA’s Mars Rover Spirit during the Mars Rover Mission. The video was created with the use of virtual reality science software VRMars-Spirit – The Red Planet Mars 3D, released by Sciterian Technologies, and powered by the technology VRPresents that gives an impression of being on the surface of Mars. Great astronomy video for those interested in science, and space exploration enthusiasts. Get this Astronomy program at www.vrmars.com or www.vrmars.com/VRMars-Spirit-The-Red-Planet-Mars-3D.htm , and enjoy roving Mars. See the planet like you were one of the Mars Rovers at www.vrplanet.com .

Astronomy for Amateurs

http://lgno.me/cJmip0 – http://lgno.me/aNiqPm – During our open mic session at the last Gnomedex, my good friend Derek Miller came up on stage to show off some backyard Astronomy that his Dad has done. Derek reminds us all that you don’t have to work at NASA to get amazing photographs of things found in our solar system. All you need is passion for what you’re looking at, and a telescope! http://twitter.com/penmachine – http://twitter.com/chrispirillo

Up Close Footage of the Moon 9/8/08 – Nexstar 8 Telescope

admin — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 03:21:18 +0000

How often do you get to see the moon this close up?? This is some footage I got last night, 9/8/08 of the moon. My Nexstar 8 telescope was magnifying the moon 120x, allowing the craters of the Northeastern and southeastern quadrants of the moon to be seen in detail. There was a cloud in front of the moon, however, I was still able to get some good shots.

Some sections of the video are actually more than 120X, since I also used the zoom on the camera. Knowing that, there may have been segments of the video where the moon was around 200-250X (~2X zoom on camera).

Sorry for the shakiness, but the mechanism for moving the telescope has a small amount of vibration and it’s difficult to use a digital camera in this way. Hope you enjoy!

Please let me know what you think and leave a comment or question under Video Comments! Also Rate the video if you enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching
