Ever wonder why Easter moves around every year? 🐰
Because of the Moon. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full Moon following the spring equinox, and Passover works the same way.
For thousands of years, the sky has been our calendar.
#Slooh #LunarCalendar #DidYouKnow
It was just too windy to capture the fullmoon from my backyard, but I stayed up to watch the launch while I set up missions to the Moon on #Slooh.
Quite incredible.
#slooh Quest: Starry Night Over the Rhône. For me this was not only a quest to learn about the painter, Vincent van Gogh but also to get acquainted with the stars of the Big Dipper which I cannot see from South Africa. #asterism #constellation #onlinetelescope #sloohshare #quest
Total Lunar Eclipse 03.03. 2026. The Auckland Astronomical Society provided this feed during a Star Party for #Slooh members. I spotted SAO 118588 😁That's beside the awesome fact that this was snapped at the time of maximum eclipse 😮#totallunareclipse #moon #onlinetelescopes
In the Moons Symphony LUNAR course to seven moons in the solar system, science, music and art are combined. The course is presented by well known composer, Amanda Lee Falkenberg. In my post I am describing my emotions while observing and learning about the moon Io.
This is about overcoming my fear of botching an assignment. I heard there are no right or wrong answers. mmm. Tell me another story. I was quite apprehensive about letting "wrong" emotions take a hold of me. BUT now I'm on the couch and letting it all out. Image: #Slooh

The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight! 🌠 One of the year’s best sky shows, with bright, colorful meteors lighting up the night. Bundle up, look up, and enjoy the cosmic fireworks! #Geminids #Astronomy #Slooh

Ever wondered how Slooh began?
Founder & CEO Michael Paolucci started it with a simple idea: make the universe accessible to everyone. 🌌 We believe the cosmos belongs to all of us. Look up, explore, and discover our shared place in the universe.

The Sun is 93M miles away—but you can explore it from your classroom! ☀️
In our “How Hot Is the Sun?” Quest, capture live solar images, study sunspots, and learn how its heat shapes life on Earth.

The Sun 2025,Oct 24. #Slooh Canary Five H Alpha Solar Telescope. It was fun to do an animation of this fiery filament which was changing quite rapidly throughout the day. #sloohshare #Sun #filament #onlinetelescope #onlinelearning
Comet C/2025 A6: Early morning Oct 11, just above the north eastern horison from Slooh's Canary Island Telescopes. I wonder if we will be able to see the comet in the S Hemisphere before it goes far away on its orbital journey of more than a thousand years #Slooh #comet
SPACE WEEK
Sat, 04 Oct 2025 – Fri, 10 Oct 2025
...and still many moons, stars and galaxies to explore
#spaceweek2025 #Slooh #MOON #StarsEverywhere #galaxies
Today marks the September Equinox—the moment Earth’s tilt gives us equal day and night across the globe. From this shared vantage point in space, we’re reminded that we all spin together on one planet, under one sky. And officially, happy Fall!
#SeptemberEquinox #Slooh
Behind-the-Scenes at #Slooh: When you submit a mission to the queue, you are controlling the plan for our telescopes located all around the globe. This images features Slooh’s southern hemisphere observatory which has 3 telescopes offering complete coverage of the southern skies
How many Moon phases can you capture this month? Share your images captured on #Slooh and see the cycle unfold. #SloohObservationChallenge
I can't believe this is my Andromeda. Thanks to Slooh member, Jarmo Ruuth's Astro mosaic planner I could add on the northeast/southwest bits with the bluish star cluster regions. Although my overlaps are still slightly visible, I am so excited. #Slooh Canary Three Astrograph Instrument
Marvelous to see the Dumbbell Nebula (Messier 27) through Slooh Canary One. I rather liked the FITS red, blue and green channel images. Maybe even more than the rgb.

I received an email : Welcome to the LUNAR Pilot Community🚀It seems I will be going on an incredible adventure. First task: 👉 Watch Part 1 of the LUNAR Overview #TheMoonsSymphony I think I have some of these moons on #Slooh #sloohshare #moon #space
I have observed domes on the Moon but observing the Richat Structure here on Earth has triggered an even greater curiosity. This is not a meteor impact site but the upliftment of sedimentary rocks. Erosion over millions of years did the rest. #Slooh #sloohshare #geology
Daliyabuyi Oasis is a large natural oasis that has evolved from the Keriya River. The oasis is a desert eco system. Here I have compared seasonal effects on the vegetation. Spring greening is clearly noticeable. #Slooh #sloohshare #satellites #earthscience
I quickly hopped onto Slooh's H-Alpha solar telescope after another member mentioned a nice hedgerow prominence on the NE limb of the Sun. Pretty neat 🙂 #Slooh #sloohshare #onlinelearning #onlinetelescopes
CTE: Satellites in the Space Economy: #Slooh Quest. Maybe I took on too much but then I got hooked. Other tasks were to monitor water quality in Milwaukee and be an assessor of an insurance company- all of this using satellite imagery. Gosh, I'm proud of this badge 🏵️ #sloohshare
Composite image to demonstrate the proper motion of Barnard's Star in Ophiuchus. I captured this red dwarf in 2019 (bottom) and then again in 2025 (top). To think that this star has been around for 10 or so billion years! #Slooh #sloohshare #onlinelearning
I am able to access satellite imagery on #Slooh. I saw these mysterious features that were truly beautiful. This is the large Río Huaypetue open pit Gold Mine, Peru. Pretty but grim storie of illegal mining, deforestation, child labor, drug cartels #earthscience #onlinelearning
This is just part of my Crater Collection. Since Slooh introduced Earth Sciences, I have been able to get amazing satellite views of our planet. The best part will be learning more about each of these craters. Congratulations #Slooh! This quest was quite an adventure.
🌍✨ From icy craters to bustling cities, Earth is looking extra photogenic in this week’s Satellite Spotlight! 🛰️💫
Curious what the cosmos sees when it looks down? Head over to Slooh.com and explore the planet from a whole new perspective.

🚀✨ On this week’s Platform Preview, we’re showing you how to schedule a satellite mission with Slooh! From choosing your target on the map to selecting your capture date, it’s never been easier to observe Earth from space. 🌍🛰️

My quest to find the objects discovered by Caroline Herschel has been much easier than back in 1870's. She spent hours grinding and polishing mirrors, BUT whenever William was away, visitors to the observatory took note - even King George III.

If I had to choose between the Messier and Caldwell Catalogues, I would choose latter. I've learned so much by observing all 109 objects in the Caldwell Catalogue!
