Skywatching FAQ
A degree is about the with of your little finger held at arm's length. Most of us are familiar with the idea that there are 360 degrees in a circle, and that making a 180-degree turn is to face the opposite direction. If you imagine the sky as a sphere with the stars fixed onto it and pick any point, and draw a circle all the way around the sky until you return to that point, you will have rotated through 360 degrees. To approximate 5 degrees, hold up your three middle fingers on one hand. For 10 degrees, hold up a fist.Stars and ConstellationsWhat is is the difference between a constellation and an asterism?The 88 star patterns officially known as constellations are regions the sky is divided into that help astronomers identify where objects are located on the sky. Asterisms are familiar shapes and patterns of stars that are not constellations, and that often include stars shared by multiple constellations. Whereas constellations tend to have names and stories that come from mythology or the animal kingdom, asterisms often have less formal, more whimsical names, including the Teapot and the Big Dipper (aka the Plough). Some asterisms are simply named for the shapes they represent on the sky, such as the Summer Triangle and the Winter Hexagon (aka the Winter Circle).> More about asterismsWhat is the brightest star? The brightest star in our skies – that is, the star that appears brightest to us on Earth – is Sirius. In terms of absolute brightness (that is, if you place the Sun and Sirius at the same distance) it's around 25 times brighter than the Sun. Fortunately, Sirius is located about 9 light years away. Sirius is a very bright star, to be sure, but it's only the brightest one in our sky because it's relatively close by in cosmic terms. It's not known what the absolute brightest star in the Universe is, but one of the brightest known stars is called R136a1. It is about 6 million times brighter than the Sun, and it's located about 160,000 light years away.What is the North Star? How do I find the North Star?The North Star, Polaris, is a helpful guide in the night sky for those in the Northern Hemisphere.

NASA Tool Gets Ready to Image Faraway Planets - NASA
The technology demonstration recently shipped from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to the agency’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, where it has joined the rest of the space observatory in preparation for launch by May 2027.
Before its cross-country journey, the Roman Coronagraph underwent the most complete test of its starlight-blocking abilities yet — what engineers call “digging the dark hole.” In space, this process will enable astronomers to observe light directly from planets around other stars, or exoplanets. Once demonstrated on Roman, similar technologies on a future mission could enable astronomers to use that light to identify chemicals in an exoplanet’s atmosphere, including ones that potentially indicate the presence of life.

The Roman Coronagraph Instrument aboard NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will improve scientists’ ability to directly image planets around other stars. As the most powerful coronagraph to ever fly in space, it will demonstrate new technologies that might be used by future missions like NASA’s proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/GSFC
Let the Testing Begin
For the dark hole test, the team placed the coronagraph in a sealed chamber designed to simulate the cold, dark vacuum of space. Using lasers and special optics, they replicated the light from a star as it would look when observed by the Roman telescope. When the light reaches the coronagraph, the instrument uses small circular obscurations called masks to effectively block out the star, like a car visor blocking the Sun or the Moon blocking the Sun during a total solar eclipse. This makes fainter objects near the star easier to see.
Coronagraphs with masks are already flying in space, but they can’t detect an Earth-like exoplanet. From another star system, our home planet would appear approximately 10 billion times dimmer than the Sun, and the two are relatively close to one another. So trying to directly image Earth would be like trying to see a speck of bioluminescent algae next to a lighthouse from 3,000 miles (about 5,000 kilometers) away. With previous coronagraphic technologies, even a masked star’s glare overwhelms an Earth-like planet.

NASA Earth-Science App Wants You - Museum Alliance | NASA/JPL Edu
The GLOBE Observer app will eventually feature a number of citizen-science projects, but the inaugural project, called GLOBE Clouds, will ask users to collect local data that can help scientists interpret satellite observations of clouds – a critical indicator for understanding climate and climate change. No special knowledge is needed to use the app, but participants will probably learn something new! The app walks users through recording sky conditions and cloud types, plus taking photos of what they see. Future projects on the app will let citizen scientists assist with monitoring land-cover and mosquito populations.
 Museums and science organizations are getting involved too by setting up accounts that let teams of citizen scientists collect data on their behalf. In fact, in honor of International Science Center and Science Museum Day (November 10, 2016) people are encouraged to register for the app through their local science institutions to join a worldwide experiment. 
Get started using GLOBE Observer by downloading the app, available for iOS and Android devices. Find out more during a Facebook Live event on the NASA Earth page on September 12 at 3:30 p.m. PDT that will introduce the project, the missions it supports and answer audience questions.
At a museum, science center, library, camp or other informal education institution? Learn how to put together your own GLOBE Observer team account here, or how you can join the more than 700 organizations participating in NASA’s Museum Alliance here.
