If you’re wondering about tonight on the eighth of September 2017 at Auckland Observatory-Stardome,  they’re screen one of the iconic episode sequels from Star Trek The Original Series – “Space Seeds” that was prequel foretold in the storyline of the crew of NX-01 Enterprise as there was Argument Humans-Superhuman that ruled half of Earth over a short period of time in the late 20th  to the early 21st  century then the remaining  crew with its leader Khan Noonien Singh forcefully exile on a sleeper sub-light ship the Botany Bay..  Until then they were discovered by the crew of nearly 40 year old Constitution class USS Enterprise under Captain Kirk the story goes from there until Khan and his crew was again exile at Ceti Alpha four.. In from after that you’ll have to find out in which screening tonight at Stardome-Auckland Observatory at eight New Zealand time for the … “ Star Trek-Wrath of Khan” ….

As of yesterday one the 7th September 2017 Auckland –New Zealand, last night it was a great night as it was the full moon in which there was a modest moderate of crowds for the night in viewing the full moon, in which brighten up the night sky… in which you can see along the other side which the terminator has slightly came back along the side where the Jade Rabbit is… is slowly progressively veiling towards the new moon in which as it tends toward the new moon the moon rises later in the evening ….. Orthough it was great night in viewing the full moon, in which you can still make out the constellations and clusters in the night sky after an earlier much clearer night sky after it rained out the smog pollutants in the air… As for the moon orthough it was full, the features of the moon were washout, but you can see some shadowy indention craters…

During this early this month is from the late of August towards the early of September 2017 with advert of the recently Solar Eclipse that span from the top west coast towards the lower east coast corner of the United States as this week the lower east coast braces for a dual hurricane in the last few weeks… one is heading currently this week is Irma..

As for the Untied States Solar Eclipse in which comes on a centennial basis, it was shared on so many levels on socials… One in particular with the Eclipse mega movie Google team also with the Astronomy team from Berkeley – University of California, Astronomical Society of the Pacific along with other partnerships…  as the New Moon from late August transited in front of its parent planet Earth in between the Sun with seen umbra transiting across the Nation with many observational photography collected data of the sun’s corona..

 

One modest impact made many impressions- Tycho
The crescent moon Luna as she is earth shadowed showing her fresh cratered features..
As the earth shadow terminator unveils more of luna’s surface is reveal retelling the afresh of the stories of the moon
As the the terminator unveils the first story that you likely to hear is the jade rabbit in with Apollo Astronauts visiting her..
This is know to be the first quarter in which the moon is fifty percent waxing gibbous…..
heading towards the full moon with sixty percent waxing gibbous….
sometimes with clear night skies you can see fifty shades more than Luna grey….
The moon Luna is like an A-line wedding dress she’ll only show you the front part with the heavy cratered lacy bodice with the smooth texturing skirt with cratered lacy trims..
The Jade Rabbit

Among with this past week’s towards this week as I’m keyboarding, editing in Auckland-New Zealand, weather wise it has been a very extended wintery with most of the country still slogging wet from the massive onslaughts of cyclones, in company of constant rainy weeks.. But weather wise it can be ever slight generous… Some wintery frozen cold nights as spring approaches with lots of layered warm clothing to showing to crowds at the Auckland Observatory- Stardome what currently in the real life night starry skies for as the current month it’s the early settling down for the largest planet in Solar System, Jupiter which is encrusted in the bodice of the Constellation Virgo’s dress.. Among the following wintery constellation is the Scorpio also Sagittarius in which in between is the Second largest planet Saturn with its Cassini division rings…

The Jade Rabbit

Among closer to home, is Earth’s organic Satellite, the moon Luna, about the same diameter as the country of Australia…. As it transition from the new moon towards within week wised to the full moon from the first quarter to second in full… only rising in the east later by later in the evening.. As she unveils her terminator veil, revealing the front of her wedding dress with cratered lacy embroidery bodice with the skirting Mares seas… with embroidered mare of the outline of Jade rabbit which composite with Tranquility also serenity..

On 25th August 2017 – Auckland New Zealand, in which was a very mild surprising clear night sky in which you could view straight at the heart of the Home Galaxy – The Milky Way which sits in between the Constellation tail of Scorpio also the body of the Archer Centaur Sagittarius….  In which that night you can see the heart of the Milky Way, in which you could see the pave set array of diamond starry night in which resemble the back of an elegant evening dress trail with embroidered diamantes…….

During that night, slightly frosty cold, but favourable mildlying towards the spring in the upcoming few weeks in which settling down earlier is The Gaseous Planet Jupiter situated in the Bodice of the Constellation Virgo the Virgin… In which accompanying that space is the Moon Luna, in crescent in which was previously was transiting with the solar eclipse across from the top corner of the West Coast to lower corner of the United States.. in which was shared on so many levels on Socials…

As Jupiter settled earlier, The Galilean moons was presently orbiting was coming around in from transiting to occultation behind was the moons Io, Europa, in which is relativity quite very cute when you progressive watch throughout the whole night as four main Jupiter Galilean moons Io, Europa, Castillo also Ganymede.. Comes around from Occultation behind towards Transiting with multiple eclipses on the Jupiter Atmosphere… in which with a larger magnification you could see the Jupiter’s moon shadow trailing with eclipses…

On a frosty mild remarkable clear night on 24th August 2017 Auckland, New Zealand, the Planet Jupiter is settling down early progressively as each week edges towards further into spring into September into the summery season.. in which the only Gaseous planet that’s still promenade in the night sky is the Planet Saturn in which sits in between the constellation below Scorpio also the Sagittarius….  As the August progresses into September, the moon relatively has moved into New moon in which there was a Solar Eclipse that transiting from the top of West Coast of the United States towards the Lower corner of the East Coast, Florida.. in which reoccurred every hundred years..

In which that Solar Eclipse, transiting was seen, on many levels, one on many socials, also as seen from the International Space Station, watching the moon’s umbra transiting, shadowing its path across the United States.. Along with other various live stream ways of watching the Solar Eclipse, but the important thing though is don’t look through the telescope at the sun, you’ll go permanently blind with your eyes naked… Without a strong filters that’s covering up the telescope, like an alpha or a metal glass solar filter…

One of many interesting things that night is the Cassini rings in which, through a large mirror telescope is the various divisions of layers or rings of various sizes of rocks and ice with different hues of greys and tan sandy tanned browns that’s forms the ballerinas tutu skirt that dances around the gaseous planet Saturn when you look from This Planet Earth at an average of one hour ago at an average of one billion kilometers…..
