Vacay.ca Sees Stars in Jasper
One thing you will love about Jasper are the dark skies. Every year, Jasper celebrates their Dark Skies Festival, and last year. Vacay.ca Deputy Editor Rod Charles had a chance to visit.
Charles: “Another amateur astronomer showed off Vega, a”relatively” close star only 25 light-years from Earth, and, together with Arcturus and Sirius, one of the most luminous stars in our Sun’s neighbourhood.”
Another amateur astronomer aimed his telescope directly at Neptune, “More than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth, the planet takes almost 165 Earth years to orbit our sun.”
After carefully placing my eye as close to the eyepiece without touching the telescope, I peered through and it appeared like a faint dot in the sky. While Neptune has a mass that is 17.148 that of earth, the planet was too far away, and the microscope too small, to actually see the details of this giant blue gas planet.”
