It is expected to be a very interesting event due to the fact that at 12:00 UT its umbral magnitude will probably barely exceed 1.00. It is thus within the range of current uncertainties associated with the size of Earth`s umbra (the darker inner region of Earth`s shadow). Consequently, as surprisingly as it may seem, this time it may not be utterly appropriate to simply predict... Read More...

The Asteroid (9) Metis in 2011!
Antonio Rosa Campos [email protected] CEAMIG - REA / Brazil - AWB On 28 July next, the asteroid (9) Metis will be at their closest approach to Earth, when it will reach magnitude 9.6, therefore already within the limits of observable magnitudes of small optical instruments, binoculars, spotting scopes and telescopes. The table below shows their anniversaries and search a map of the sky, aiming for its location in the coming days. Note : = (AU) * Astronomical Unit. Unit of distance equal to 149,600 x 106m. It was agreed to define the astronomical unit of distance, becoming a reference length... Read More...

The Asteroid (21) Lutetia in 2011!
Antonio Rosa Campos [email protected] CEAMIG - REA / Brazil - AWB On July 04 next, the asteroid (21) Lutetia will be at their closest approach to Earth, when it will reach magnitude 9.4, therefore already within the limits of observable magnitudes of small optical instruments, binoculars, spotting scopes and telescopes. The table below shows their ephemerides and well as a quest card, aiming for its location in the coming days. As shown by their number in order of discovery, Lutetia was discovered by German amateur astronomer Hermann Goldschmidt (1802-1866) in Paris on November 15, 1852. His name is an allusion...

17º EREA - Brazilian Regional Meeting of Astronomy Teaching
Dear friends, As the blog (link: http://skyandobservers.blogspot.com/ ) has also aiming at the dissemination of the sky and the observers, we believe that spreading the events taking place in Belo Horizonte - MG (Brazil), and an opportunity to apredizado also, so completion of the 17th EREA (Regional Meeting of Astronomy Teaching), in Belo Horizonte is a great opportunity to extend our range of knowledge. This initiative UFMG / PROEX (Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais - Pro-rector of Extension), CEAMIG (Astronomical Studies Center of Minas Gerais), Faculty of Education, UFMG, Brazilian Astronomical Society and the Museum of Natural Sciences of PUC-Minas...
