So my 13 y/o learned and taught me a new word today.

Levidrome.

It’s like a palindrome, except instead of reading the same forwards and backwards, it creates a different word entirely.

Like ward, and draw.

It’s named after the kid that came up with the concept in 2018.

You can still see it for a few days :)

My catch of the gorgeous Comet Lemmon as it made its closest approach to Earth. It will be back this way in 1350 years…

Friends, tonight's the night that Comet Lemmon will be making its closest approach to Earth for the next 1350 years. It's also a new moon. If it's clear after sunset where you are, find the big dipper (see below) to catch a glimpse of it... Here is my image of it from a few days ago, it is a beauty!

Comet Lemmon is getting closer to Earth! This beauty is now barely visible to the naked eye just after sunset and is getting brighter every day! It is now 92,000,000 km from us.

Comet Lemmon is getting brighter and is barely visible to the naked eye... if you want to try to see it, look just after sunset using the handle of the bog dipper as your reference. As the month moves on, the big dipper will move the the right but this is the area where you can see it...

Funnnnnn

It is located right after sunset just below the big dipper…

Ha. Awesome!!

My first catch of the glorious comet Lemmon. This beauty is getting closer to Earth and may be visible to the naked eye just after sunset after October 21. It will be back again this way in 1350 years…

The Iris Nebula!

Check out all of that space dust! The coolest! This is what is known as a reflection nebula: the light beams from a central star and then reflects off the surrounding dust clouds in a brilliant blue light.

It took 1400 years for this light to hit my telescope in Victoria, BC.
