After the Supermoon project, I pointed the tiniest smart telescope in the world at M42 — the Orion Nebula — and here’s what happened. 🤩 Try it out 👉 https://bit.ly/dwarf_mini_bos5 Connected the DWARF MINI → selected M42 in Atlas → autofocus locked in → switched to the astro filter → set a 30 second exposure and 999 frames → started the project and let the Mini track and stack everything automatically. After a few post processing tweaks in the app, this is what I got. Pre-order the new DWARF MI

Something appears to be moving close to the Moon surface, which naturally raises questions. In most cases, this kind of motion is caused by a space rock, satellite, aircraft, bird, or debris passing between the observer and the Moon. Because of high telescope zoom, distance, and bright daylight, the object can look like it is near the Moon when it is not. The Moon has no atmosphere, so objects crossing in front of it appear very sharp, making the movement seem unusual or suspicious. This creates

• Criss-Crossing Lunar Transit • On Mar. 6, 2019, SDO observed a long lunar transit - with a twist. The shadow of the Moon in SDO's images first touched the limb of the Sun at 2200 UTC (5pm EST) on Mar. 6, making its way across and finally left the solar disk at 0209 UTC on Mar. 7 (9:09 pm EST, Mar. 6). The moon's apparent reversal is caused by SDO first overtaking the moon in its orbit, then the moon catching up as SDO swings around Earth's dusk side. During the transit the Sun moves in the fra
