Snow Day

Well we missed the Star City show at Lexington this weekend. It was cancelled and we were locked in with several inches of snow. The birds loved it though ... Cheers Ian

SuperNova in M82

On January 21st a group of astronomy students spotted a supernova in M82, the famous nearby irregular galaxy in Ursa Major. I took this picture of M82 with the supernova on January 24th. The bright star is the supernova. The galaxy M82 is about 11.5 million light years from earth.
