The Sky This Week, 2013 February 26 - March 5
The Great Nebula in Orion, Messier 42
Imaged 2012 JAN 25 from Alexandria, VA
with an 80mm (3.1-inch) f/6 Antares Sentinel refractor
and a Canon EOS T2i DSLR
The Moon lights up the late-night sky early in the week as she wanes
toward Last Quarter, which occurs on March 4th at 4:53 pm Eastern
Standard Time. She begins the weekamong the stars of Leo, the Lion,
then dives southward along the Ecliptic toward the rising stars of
early summer. Look for her less than a degree south of the bright star
Spica as she rises on the nightof the 28th. During the early morning
hours of March 2nd she forms an attractive triangle with golden Saturn
and the second-magnitude star Zubenelgenubi in the constellation of
Libra, the Scales. She wraps up her weekly travels among the stars of
Scorpius.
As the Moon passes into the morning sky she leaves behind the stars of
the Great Winter Circle forone final good viewing period in the
evening sky. As March rolls in the length of daylight now rapidly
erodes the early evening hours of darkness, and the winter star
patterns seem to hasten toward thewest as the calendar passes by. The
bright stars of Orion and his companions now straddle the meridian at
the end of evening twilight, leaving just a few hours toexplore their
cosmic treasures with binoculars or a small telescope. Orion is a
wonderful constellation toperuse with these instruments. From the
beautiful pastel hues of his brighter stars to the misty swatch of
light that betrays the Great Nebula in his sword, Orion offers many
delights for not only the novice but the experienced observer as well.
If you're in a dark location the Great Nebula will reward the patient
viewer with just about any kind of instrument. In binoculars it
appears as a fuzzy patch surrounding a tight knot of stars, bracketed
by two bright clusters of icy-blue suns. A small telescope will reveal
the Trapezium,a group of four stars in the nebula'sheart whose intense
ultraviolet radiation causes the nebula to glow.Larger telescopes
reveal more detail still; the view through my 14.5-inch reflector
shows an eyepiece field filled wisps, knots, and streamers of glowing
gas interspersed with dark rifts of opaque stardust. Here and there
faint traces of color may be seen in the most intense glowing clouds.
The impression is both dynamic and steadfast, as if a vast swirl of
material is frozen in time. This is, infact, a very dynamic place
where star formation is taking place at breakneck speed on the cosmic
scale. The stars of the Trapezium, the youngest stars in the
nebula,"switched on" less than a million years ago. The nebula is the
brightest part of a vast network of interstellar clouds that lies
behind the constellation. Long-exposure wide-field images show a
huge"bubble" of faintly glowing gas surrounding the Hunter's familiar
shape. If we could view our Milky Way Galaxy from a million
light-years distance the stars and gas clouds of Orion would be one of
its most striking features.
The two most striking features of our solar system now share the
late-night sky for a few short hours. Jupiter dominates the early
evening sky while Saturn holds court in the early morning hours.
Jupiter is still the brightest planet in the sky, becoming visible
high in the south shortly after sunset. As evening twilight fades he
begins to heel toward the western horizon where he now sets at around
1:00 am. You have until about 11:00 pm to train the telescope on him
beforehe settles into the turbulent air over the horizon, and the view
through almost any telescope will be a rewarding one. Small
instruments easily show his four bright Galilean moons, while larger
instruments allow you to pick out subtle details in his ever-changing
cloud bands. The evening of March 1st is a particularly good time to
check him out; the famous Great Red Spot will be transiting the
Earth-facing side of the planet while the moons Io, Europa, and
Ganymede seem to converge on Old Jove's disc.
Saturn rises at around 11:00 pm asthe week opens, and he should be
high enough in the southeast to view by the time Jupiter sets.
Saturn's disc is more bland than that of his jovial rival, but the
planet's rings more than make up for the lack of planetary detail.
They are visible in any telescope, but every step up in telescope
aperture will reveal more details. Some of my favorite views have been
with a home-built 8-inch reflector that not only gives a crisp view of
the rings but also reveals a sprinkling of small moons surrounding the
distant planet. I'm looking forward to getting re-acquainted with this
distant world as the warmer nights of spring approach.
