You probably heard, and perhaps already observed comet NEOWISE, one of the most remarkable objects of this year’s summer sky. Watching a transient celestial event such as a comet is always a moment to remember! In this post, we will guide you through a few relatively simple steps to observe the comet and record the…
DetailsStarting from the birthplace of the SETI Institute, we’re traveling across the US to share the experience of the eVscope in person! You probably already know that the Unistellar eVscope is a smart, digital, robotic telescope that can see galaxies, nebulae, and other deep sky objects in full color. It only takes a couple…
DetailsWhen you first hear the words “Planetary Defense” you might think of a sci-fi movie with spaceships ready to defend Earth from aliens, and maybe some Earthlings in spacesuits holding laser guns. This is not the case. Planetary Defense is slightly more down to Earth, so to speak. It does involve defending Earth, but it…
DetailsMountain View and Marseille, June 11, 2020. Citizen science pioneers recently made two contributions to a better knowledge of outer space. Backyard astronomers of the SETI Institute and Unistellar network conducted in April citizen science observations, and their discoveries will improve our understanding of asteroids and exoplanets. Thanks to their work, we know precisely the…
DetailsWe are contacting you today to participate in a citizen science campaign in the night between Saturday, June 6th to Sunday June 7th. 1632 Siebohme asteroid is a main-belt asteroid discovered in 1941 by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth. This asteroid will occult a 11.4 magnitude star and this event is visible from your…
DetailsThe asteroid Racheldavis, which will occult a 9.8 magnitude star this weekend, was named in honor to Rachel Michelle Davis who, when she was a high school student, reached the final of a renowned science competition (Intel Science Talent Search). One of her rewards was then to have an asteroid named Racheldavis. She is…
DetailsUPDATE: Mountain View and Marseille, April 17, 2020. A group of citizen astronomers scattered all over the world has just demonstrated how a network of digital Unistellar eVscopes can work together to deliver the first-of-its-kind crowd-generated images of Comet ATLAS while its disintegrating. […] A similar call for observations was released on Tuesday, April 14…
DetailsSimply put, the main difference between galaxies and nebulae are an extreme difference in size, as well as their basic structure. A nebula is a cloud of dust and gas, usually tens to hundreds of light years across. A galaxy is much larger — usually thousands to hundreds of thousands of light years across. Nebulae are…
DetailsSan Francisco and Marseille, February 20. From California to Finland, from Manitoba to Paris, it’s now official: Unistellar eVscopes are being delivered all around the world and have begun providing users with unique, live outer space observing experiences. Unistellar was created in 2015 to develop the very first light-amplified, user-friendly digital telescope. The eVscope allows…
DetailsOn January 22, 2010, 10 years ago today, astronaut TJ Creamer became the first person in space to physically send a tweet from the International Space Station (ISS). Take a look at his tweet: Hello Twitterverse! We r now LIVE tweeting from the International Space Station — the 1st live tweet from Space! 🙂…
