Events on the planet Jupiter can unfold in just an hour, whereas the Messier objects appear unchanged in a human lifetime. These star parties will feature dynamic transits on Jupiter: The Great Red Spot will journey from one side of Jupiter to the other, as will the shadow of its moon Io. By good luck, both parties will include both types of transits.
We’ll be starting as early as the transits, at 5:00pm on both nights. If conditions are unusually clear, we’ll see them in the new Trischiefspiegler, revealing more detail than one would see in any other telescope. If not, then Brower is still ready for planet season with many fine planetary telescopes. In honor of the current cold spell, a warming room will be available in Colin’s nearby house.
