    Another good one, woo :gnthb:

    Take a bet you didn't manage to photograph DD45 the other night as it missed us by approx 63,000 km :hehe:

    Here's a very poor video of it. It enters centre right of the screen.

    Great stuff Woo.wd40 when it first came out stated on the can as used on atlas rockets so your not far off the mark:thumb:
    Thanks for the asteroid video Shiney I didn't see that version of it.
    Heads up tonight,
    WORM MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Worm Moon. It signals the coming of northern spring, a thawing of the soil, and the first stirrings of earthworms in long-dormant gardens. Step outside tonight and behold the wakening landscape. "Worm moonlight" is prettier than it sounds.

    RAINBOW PLANET: Something special is happening to Venus. The brightest of all planets is hanging low in the western sky at sunset, and if you look at it with a backyard telescope, you'll see that it is a slender 4% crescent. But that's not the special part.
    What's special is, Venus looks like a rainbow:
    [align=center][​IMG][/align]
    Mark D. Marquette took the picture from Boones Creek, Tennessee on March 16th. It shows the view through his 8-inch Celestron. "There was an extreme rainbow effect," he says.
    Venus resembles a rainbow because Earth's atmosphere acts like a prism. When Venus is near the horizon, refraction separates the red crescent from the blue. The crescent is so thin, the splitting of colors is obvious. Later this month, Venus will disappear into the glare of the spring sun--so catch the rainbow planet while you can!
