Last night, Aug. 26 2023, while on a dinner cruise just off Nassau, The Bahamas, everyone was blown away by what i believe was a comet. It was in the north eastern sky. While we could still see the comet, a shooting star came behind. It was beautiful and breathtaking.

Greetings from New Zealand Daniel, thanks for sharing your photography and congratulations! Are you noticing how odd it is that the moon is more often lit from more of a southern angle these days than the traditional east/west axis?

@@thedaringpoppy3644 I hadn't noticed, and I'm not sure what you are referring to. Maybe it has something to do with latitude?

@thedaringpoppy3644 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for you feedback Daniel. If you look at the moon phases Alyn includes at the 1.55 minute mark in his video you will see that the Sun always lights the moon from left to right. As in your photo the light is curving around the southern hemisphere of the moon. There is speculation that this is because the earth is tilting/wobbling, which alters our perspective of the moonlight. Recently the moon has been totally lit from the southern hemisphere which would indicate a 180 degree earth tilt. @@danielmunoz06

I have your book and love it however I only see recommendations for Northern and Southern viewing. I am closer to the equator and south of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am planning to use Photopills for the first time. And I am not sure if I want to travel with my Sky watcher star adventurer and heavier tripod for it. Thanks again.

The Southern Hemisphere stuff will be practically what you will experience close to the equator. Polar aligning a star tracker might be a little difficult as the celestial pole will be very close to the horizon, but it's not impossble. Have a great trip.

@danielnorman8595 11 ай бұрын

They calculate when the earth flies through the trails of certain comets. That's what the meteors are, debris from comets.

@AlynWallace 11 ай бұрын

Comets which cross through Earth's orbit leave a trail of dust and rock behind them. Earth then passes through that trail of debris roughly the same time every year as it orbits the Sun.

@AlynWallace 11 ай бұрын

@@danielnorman8595 The Moon has negligible effect on such a matter. Jupiter on the other hand can have an impact. It's believe the Taurids debris stream was split into two by Juptier's gravity, giving rise to the Northern Taurid meteor shower and the Southern Taurids.

Thank you Alyn for a very clear guide to observation. With respect to you, you will do well to make a study of the reality of the true sizes and distances of the heavenly bodies. You can learn this from Eric Dubay by going to his website and clicking on videos at the top of the page or better still to read his book "The Flat Earth Conspiracy." Should you do this then you are in for a shock! Yes, the best shock you will ever experience, especially when you realise how close e.g. the Moon and Sun really are and that they are both approx. 3,000 miles away and the diameters are approx. 30 miles. The stars are not giant Suns, they, are 31,000 times smaller than the sizes propagated by mainstream astronomy, the religion of the Jesuit Cabal which poses as "science."
