Virtual Telescope - Walking on the Moon!
I'm attending another Virtual Telescope experience, "Walking on the Moon". Part of Global Astronomy Month, Like the Messier Marathon and the Exoplanet Observation, this is pretty cool. Even after years of Astronomy, images of the Moon still are wonderful and enthralling.
Sadly, my experience was not optimal. As MiddleOne got a flight simulator program for his birthday, he's rigged up headphones to the computer for it. Headphones with a cord that reach his ears but not mine. So I now have tiny headphones on the desk, trying to listen to Gianluca narrate what's going on. Can't hear much. Anyway, here's some images from the session to enjoy.
As always, click on the image to embiggen (you won't be disappointed)
