From its ref lected brightness\, astronomers estimate that the asteroid is about a thir d of a mile (0.5 kilometers) in size. The flyby of 2004 BL86 will be the c losest by any known space rock this large until asteroid 1999 AN10 flies p ast Earth in 2027. At the time of its closest approach on January 26\, the asteroid will be approximately 745\,000 miles (1.2 million kilometers) fr om Earth. source NASA.BL86 will be travelling through the constellations H ydra and Cancer visible in the south-southeast sky and should be between J upiter and the Sirius. By 0600UT it will be making a close pass of the Bee hive star cluster. Travelling at speeds of 56\,000 km/h\, it will appear t o traverse the width of the full moon in just ten minutes. So the best way to identify positively that you have found the asteroid is to watch it mo ve quickly across the backdrop of fixed stars. In the overnight hours its estimated brightness is pegged to be around 9.5 magnitude\, making it just visible with large binoculars and an easy target through small backyard t elescopes. source.SkyLive tracker: http://theskylive.com/2004bl86-trackerS GL thread: http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/234215-asteroid-2004-bl86-is- coming/\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150126 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:View The New Moon\, Venus and Mercury DTSTAMP:20150119T213707Z SEQUENCE:0 UID:1014-4-9781170397f8af808f2fd02b763a646b@stargazerslounge.com ORGANIZER;CN="stevend":noreply@stargazerslounge.com DESCRIPTION:\nJust after sunset this evening the thin crescent Moon\, Ve nus and Mercury will be in a triangular formation and particularly eye-cat ching through binoculars.source\; National Geographic.In the UK start look ing around 1700 GMT.\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20150121 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Venus and Mercury 0.5 deg apart.

Neptune will look like a deep blue star but through a telescope it will show a dark blue disc but through a larger more powerful telescope you will see more detail. This is how it wa s discovered. When Uranus was discovered and this was in 1781 the Solar Sy stem was deemed to be completed. However when a Planet is discovered the f irst thing the mathematicians do and that is to work out the orbit or path of Uranus. The first thing they discovered was that Uranus was forever sl owing down at odd intervals and that the orbit was more elliptical rather than a perfect circle indicating that something was pulling Uranus along a nd back. A Cambridge graduate named John Couch Adams got the key to the pr oblem. He worked out that an undiscovered Planet was pulling Uranus so he sent his calculation to Greenwhich but nothing was done. Subsequently in F rance a French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier made the same calculation a s Adams and sent his work to Berlin and it was thanks to Berlin that the n ew Planet Neptune was discovered in the constellation of Capricorn in Sept ember 1846. So Adams finished his work first but Le Verriers initiative ma de the Solar System increase in numbers of Planets and this led to a row w ith France and Britain but led to a friendship with Adams and Le Verrier a nd eventually the decision was reached where both Adams and Le Verrier are both the discoverers of Neptune.If were lucky we maybe able to see some o f Neptunes 14 moons. Two of them are very unique. The smallest one of thes e unique two is named Nereid (All of Neptunes moons are named after the le sser deities of the Sea) and that orbits Neptune in a comet like orbit. Th e largest of the two and also the largest of all of Neptunes moons Triton orbits Neptune but it orbits Neptune in the wrong way and why that is we d ont know. We do know that Triton was originally an object belonging to the Kuiper Belt and it migrated to Neptune. In addition Neptune orbits the Su n in 164 years and a day lasts for about 9 hours so a Neptunian year lasts 192'573 days so what will be June on Earth will be February on Neptune so like Uranus Neptune has a Calendar that is complicated. This I can assure you doesnt upset the Neptunian inhabitants because their simply is not an y. Neptune is a world that life cannot live since its made of Gases in the ir Iciest form mixed with complex Atoms of Methane and Nitrogen. But that doesnt mean we cant sent space probes to its 14 moons we can then see a mo re fascinating aspect of the Royal Blue world which happens to be larger t hen Uranus by a small degree. Neptune will be in Aquarius and that will be best seen at 21:00 BST.\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140829 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Opposition of Uranus DTSTAMP:20140312T124148Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:941-4-9781170397f8af808f2fd02b763a646b@stargazerslounge.com ORGANIZER;CN="DommyDevil18":noreply@stargazerslounge.com DESCRIPTION:\nUranus will be at Opposition tonight at 21:45 BST. You wil l have to look at the Constellation of Pisces and Uranus will look like a brightish blue star but it will appear through any optical aid as a distin ct greenish disc and that was how it was discovered. As a reminder Uranus was discovered back 1781 by a Hanoverian musician who came to England at 1 9 years of age and pursued a career in Astronomy. His name was William Her schel and he made Telescopes mainly 6 inch reflectors. He was using one of these telescopes on a March night and he saw something that appeared to m ove across the night sky in the constellation of Gemini the Twins. He thou ght it was a comet because of how it orbited in a very elliptical compared to Saturn which at the time was last Planet in the Solar System. Astronom ers from all over Europe began to question if it was something Planetary a nd finally they came to a decision that the object Herschel had observed o n that cold March 17th night was in fact no comet whatsoever. This was a n ew Planet orbiting beyond Saturn which like I said at the time was the las t Planet from the Sun. This was very exciting. One distinguishing thing ab out Uranus is the tilt of its Axis. Earth spins at a very reasonable 23.5 degrees and Uranus essentially rolls because its tilt is 97.8 degrees so w e see the equator sometimes or its poles. In addition it takes 84 Earth Ye ars to go around the Sun but 10hrs 56minutes to roll on its axis. If you c an work that out that is 65'456 Uranian Days in every Uranian year and als o a 21 year of nighttime and a 21 year of daytime so its calander is rathe r odd but I can assure you this does not upset the Uranian inhabitants bec ause their isnt any. Uranus has 14 moons and they are all named after char acters from Shakespeares plays. The largest four Ariel Umbriel Titania and Oberon were named after the Uranian discoverers own son John Herschel. Ur anus like I said will be in the Zodiacal constellation of Pisces and will be well placed for observation.

Through powerful te lescopes you will see more detail like you get on Google Images. Now I can t guarantee you will see the rings full on that depends on how Saturn is s hown to us. Reason being is because Saturn spins at an Axis of 26.7 degree s which in comparable to Earths 23.5 degrees is not that much different it is only 3.2 degrees so they have similar Axial tilts. \n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140510 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:A Closer Look at the Sun DTSTAMP:20140309T214043Z SEQUENCE:1 UID:940-4-9781170397f8af808f2fd02b763a646b@stargazerslounge.com ORGANIZER;CN="Elan Valley Astronomy":noreply@stargazersloung e.com DESCRIPTION:\nThis is your chance to get a really close look at the Sun! :cool2: ...SAFELY!!! :cool2: Led by expert Gary Palmer\, who will be using solar scopes to show you the sun like you've never seen it before.
