 Looking up on a clear, dark night inspires a sense of amazement. The darker your sky, the more you begin to wonder, "What IS that?" But even basic questions like "Is the moon really visible in the daytime", or "Why do we get so much daylight in the summer?" may seem like they should be obvious. In astronomy, apparent magnitude is the rating scale for object brightness whether it be a planet, star, or galaxy. Did you know that the lower the number, the brighter the object? Your eyes can see through the 6th magnitude, but in the 7th, you need visual aid. The same can be true for knowledge.The 7th Magnitude 天文学 天文学・宇宙科学 科学

    A Campin' We Will Go...
    2023/10/04
    So we frequently talk about Whispering Pines Campground owned by Buffalo State University. Come along with us! Our first live podcast, and we will even put out some extras about what we do there! More to come from our next summer campout which will be in June 2024! We have TWO guests for this episode. Mr. Paul Krupinski, owner of Ancient Eyes Productions and Mr. Dan Collins (yes, relation). Former Orbital Analyst for MIT's Lincoln Labs at the Haystack Observatory (Radio Telescope) and Tim's oldest brother. You may notice that Jim Collins is our guest videographer from time-to-time. That's their middle brother so they are all involved now! By the way, you may notice Burger King birthday hats on the table... Tim and his wife both had birthdays the week of the taping, and we sort of suprised them... hehe.

  • Eclipses of the Past to 1806 and 1925

    Eclipses of the Past to 1806 and 1925
    2023/10/02

    From the days of antiquity, solar eclipses were omens, signs, that something was about to occur. If, as astrologer, you missed one... look out! Just ask ancient Chinese astronomers Ho and Hi, or let Terry explain!

    Then, learn about the past in Western New York, from Buffalo's founding as a village (1804) and the 1806 eclipse and how the War of 1812 may have played a part in loss of records. The next opportunity for a solar eclipse here came on a mild January day in 1925. Who came to Buffalo then, what was it like here, and how did Niagara Falls fare that day?
