Thierry Legault - Satellite tracking telescope

On the left, the C14 EdgeHD (356mm) in use since Sept 2011. On the right, the Meade ACF 10" (254mm) in use earlier. In mid-2009 I have decided to adapt my Takahashi EM400 for motorized satellite tracking (ISS, space shuttle etc.), in order to take complete video sequences of nighttime passages. http://legault.perso.sfr.fr/EM400.html

NASA's star-gazing space telescope continues to find amazing proof that there are tons of potentially habitable planets in space and we have only scratched the surface of what's out there. The space agency said today its Kepler space telescope spotted what it called its first Earth-size planet candidates and its first candidates in what it considers to be the habitable zone, a region where liquid water could exist on a planet's surface. http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/nasa-kepler-finds-family-habitable-earth-size

A new member in a family of planets circling a red dwarf star 20 light-years away has just been found. It's called Gliese 581g, and the 'g' may very well stand for Goldilocks. Gliese 581g is the first world discovered beyond Earth that's the right size and location for life. http://news.discovery.com/space/earth-like-planet-life.html

UDF SkyWalker V1.0

Click-drag green circle to pan around the whole image. The Ultra Deep Field obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope is the deepest view into the sky by humankind to date. This image combines 800 frames with a total exposure time of 1 million seconds. The 10.000 galaxies that are visible have distances out to times where the universe was just 800 million years old, one seventeenth of its current age.
