The Moon and Venus in the October sky
This week we see Venus in the western sky in apparent proximity to Luna on October the 3rd. Later in the week, on October 5th, the Moon will move to appear close to Saturn in the west.
Here’s how it looked on October the 3rd.

The sky features a close apparent proximity of Jupiter, Venus, and Mars in October. Do an early Sky Watch, get up before sunrise and look up at the eastern night sky. You will find the three planets Jupiter, Venus, and Mars close to each other from Earth’s perspective.

Supermoon Eclipse | Blood Moon | Red Moon
This is Rediscovered Astronomy footage of the Supermoon Eclipse last weekend. It was filmed from a location deep in United States southwest desert.
The recording was mostly improvised, but we managed to make the best use of a simple Samsung camera to film the Supermoon eclipse.

Jupiter Venus Conjunction 2015
Well, the month of July is passing by and the planets Jupiter and Venus are getting apart in the western sky.
Last June 30th, we watched as the two planets entered the closest conjunction not seen since about 2000 years. We took photos of Jupiter and Venus on June 29th and before that, but we unfortunately missed the closest point due to cloud cover at our location.

Larsen B Ice Shelf Is Melting – NASA
Ala Khazendar, science research JPL, has presented a study that affirms the remainder of Larsen B Ice Shelf in Antarctica will met in the next few years. If that happens, glaciers would freely float on the ocean, says Khazendar. In 2002, grand part of Larsen B collapsed and broke off from Antarctica in less than six weeks.
Khazendar and his colleague, Eric Rignot, think that two of the three glaciers that are located at the Antarctica Peninsula are in danger of sliding into the sea. The glaciers supporting the Larsen B are named Leppard, Flask, and Starbuck. Starbuck’s for the most part stable, but the other two, Leppard and Flask have accelerated their movement and have decreased in size due to warming weather. Sea levels may increase if the glaciers fall into the ocean.
The study, The Evolving Instability Of the Remnant Larsen B Ice Shelf And Its Tributary Glaciers, was a collaboration between the US and Norway; authors: Ala Khazendar, Christopher P. Borstad, Bernd Scheuchl, Eric Rignot, and Helene Seroussi.
