Another Set of Interesting Articles in the Archives of HomeboyAstronomy.Com
Megan wrote a nice comment that encouraged me to write another collection of interesting articles in the archives of HomeboyAstronomy.Com. Megan came to this blog from Digg.Com where my article The Top Ten Hubble Images of All Time has received almost 1400 diggs so far. It has been absolutely great to see how people have liked that one article I wrote some time ago. So, lets now digg the archives of HomeboyAstronomy.Com and see what kind of articles I have written in the past.
First of all I would like to remind you that HomeboyAstronomy.Com gives out interesting astronomy items once a month. February giveaway contest is over and I have already drawn the winner, but I have not published it yet because I am still struggling with the video I recorded. I have also been sick for almost two weeks (a furious stomach virus), which is one major reason for the delay. Anyhow, I try to publish the video as soon as possible and contact the winner.
HomeboyAstronomy.Com is mostly a helping hand for amateur and beginners in astronomy. We provide articles to help people to find constellations, stars, planets, nebulae, etc. in the night sky. As we are located in northern hemisphere, we mainly write for those who observe the sky in northern side. Some time ago we started writing articles for people observing in the southern hemisphere, and an example of those is my article on finding Orion in southern hemisphere. For finding more interesting objects, read for example my article on finding star Capella and constellation Auriga.
Do the stars move? Read my article and see how you can easily notice how the stars move in the sky. Are you one of those who would like to have a telescope or binoculars but have not purchased one yet? No worry, you make yourself an easy tool for observing the sky.
Have you ever wondered how big the distances in the universe are? Check out the most important picture taken by the Hubble telescope (number 1) and imagine how big the universe is. You can also read my article about the distances in the universe. Have you noticed the poll in the right sidebar? In March we ask if you are afraid of comet strikes. For more about the killer asteroids, read my article and see the cool videos of killer asteroids.
There are lots of stars in the night sky, but some of them are brighter than others. Read my tips for finding the 15 brightest stars in the night sky. Have you ever wondered what the fascinating group of stars near constellations Taurus and Orion is? It is M45, also called Pleiades. Read my tips for locating Pleiades.
I was born in Lapland in Finland, 100 kilometers above the Arctic Circle. I have seen northern lights (also called Aurora Borealis in northern hemisphere) hundreds of times. Northern lights are very fascinating phenomenon and I never get enough of if. Read my tips for finding and photographing the northern lights.
This was another set of interesting articles in the archives of HomeboyAstronomy.Com. I hope you like them! Oh, and if you are a Digg user, please digg those articles you find interesting and worth of sharing! You can also add me to your friends in Digg.
