Sample Images from ViewSpace

What objects and materials make up the universe, and how do we study the invisible as well as the visible?

Data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory are used to create a map of dark matter (blue) in galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745.

What are galaxies; how do they vary; and how do they form, interact, and change over time?

The Penguin and the Egg (Arp 142) is a pair of galaxies that are being distorted by their mutual gravitational attraction.

How do the Sun, planets, moons, comets, and asteroids interact as a system?

Saturn’s moon Titan casts a shadow as it passes between the planet and the Sun.

How do telescopes help us better understand the objects and materials that light up the sky?

With telescopes, we can see details of the Milky Way, including glowing clouds of dust and gas like the Lobster Nebula.

How fast is the universe expanding and what does this tell us about its past and future?

Over time, space expands, stretching the wavelenghts of light and causing the distant galaxies seen in the Ultra Deep Field image from the Hubble Space Telescope to look redder than the closer galaxies.

How do we detect and study planets orbiting other stars?

Changes in the brightness of starlight, measured by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, indicates the presence of a planet orbiting the star.

What happens to stars at the end of their lives, and how do stellar explosions affect the space around them?

Visible, infrared, and X-ray light from supernova remnant Cassiopeia A reveal remains of an exploded star.

How can we use interactions between light and matter to probe the deep universe?

The enormous mass of galaxy cluster Abell 370 bends the space around it, magnifying and distorting the light from more distant galaxies into arc-like streaks.

How are astronomers combining data from space and ground-based telescopes, particle detectors, and gravitational wave detectors to understand cosmic objects, processes, and events?

An artist’s illustration depicts the detection of neutrino particles and gamma rays emitted by a supermassive black hole at the center of a distant galaxy.

How and where do stars form, and how do they shape their surroundings?

Pillars of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula are sculpted and illuminated by stellar winds and high-energy radiation of bright stars.

How can we use satellites to map, study, and monitor Earth’s land surface, oceans, and atmosphere?

An image captured by the Landsat 8 satellite in May 2018 shows active lava flows from Kilauea volcano in Hawaii.

What evidence supports our theories of how the universe formed and how it has evolved over time?

A map of the sky from the Planck Space Telescope highlights variations in the cosmic microwave background radiation—energy left over from the big bang some 13.8 billion years ago.

What tools and methods do scientists use to study Earth and space?

NASA’s Soil Moisture Active Passive satellite (SMAP) helps scientists monitor droughts, predict floods, and improve farm productivity.

Is Earth unique? Are we alone?

Observations from space telescopes have revealed thousands of exoplanets of different of sizes, compositions, temperatures, and atmospheres, including seven rocky Earth-sized planets of the TRAPPIST-1 system, 40 light-years from Earth (artist’s illustration).

Stellar Experiences

Lifelong Space Enthusiast

Growing up with the Space Race, I became enthralled with space from a very young age. Between taking the astronomy course offered in my high school’s planetarium, and living kind of out in the country, such that Orion would hang high in the sky on a crisp, clear winter night, I developed a romance with the stars. The launch of the Space Shuttle heralded a new national interest in space, and I followed that to university.  I was an astrophysics major with an aerospace engineering minor. To this day, little pleases me more than sharing the wonders of the heavens with someone on a clear, dark night.

Night Sky Tours

Using one or more of my 6 telescopes or yours, I will show you Jupiter, Saturn, the Moon, distant galaxies, faint nebulae, supernova remnants, double stars, and clusters, depending upon the season.

I help your telescope come out of the closet – or avoid going there to begin with!! With over 25 years experience with telescopes of all types, I help you make the right telescope purchase, assemble, teach you to use, and repair.

Astronomy Education

Whether in a general or observational astronomy course, informal outreach, online course or speaking engagement, you’ll be fascinated learning the secrets of the universe from me.

Making an Impact

Whether using my 28″ dobsonian telescope, SkyClops (TM), 12″, 8″, 6″ or even binoculars, my night sky tour and star party attendees always back away from the telescope with a chorus of “WOW. That’s incredible!!” and amazement at the celestial sights seen, even if its just the Moon. 

Over 40 Years Experience

Unlike most non-research astronomers, my knowledge base includes physics, math, orbital mechanics, spacecraft design, space missions that have taught us what we know about celestial objects, chemistry, computer science and rocket propulsion. I can speak to your group on a wide variety of space, astronomy and STEM related topics.

Days around New Moon when Deep Sky Objects are best seen

Billions of galaxies in the observable universe, unsurpassed enjoyment.

A fellow astronomer is seen observing through my new Sky-Watcher 12″ Collapsible Dobsonian Telescope with SynScan. His reaction is non atypical – the WOW factor is unsurpassed. I constantly hear, “Amazing,” “Wow,” “Mind Blowing” and more when people observe through my telescopes.

The Unique Choice

Make your corporate event or conference, YMCA, Scout or Guide campout a truly memorable experience that will last a lifetime. Gift someone a Night Sky Tour for their birthday, anniversary, Christmas or graduation. Its so much more fun than another sweater or book.

Astronomy is a Gateway Science

Studies have shown that astronomy is one of the absolute easiest ways to get children interested in math and science. Regardless of whether your child wants to become an astronomer or astronaut, the highest demand careers for the past half century require go

Stellartrips

Stellarvue 2021 schedule of coming events.

S tellarvue's A nnual Dark Sky Star Party ( DSSP)   The popula tion of Likely increases each year wh en we  assemble at this tiny Northeastern California town. DSSP is a benefit of ownership for people who observe and image with Stellarvue telescopes. It is a private event we sponsor s pecifically for our customers. In order to maintain a comfortable event, we always limit attendance to 50 people total. We  fill positions on a first-come, first-served basis, and set aside some spaces for new Stellarvue telescope owners. For more information on the Stellarvue Dark Sky Star Party visit our DSSP Page. 

The Dark Sky Star Party for 2021 will be held July 8-11, out on the 12th. DSSP 2021 is now fully booked. Email [email protected] if you wish to get on the standby list in case anyone cancels. You must be a Stellarvue telescope owner as this is a benefit of ownership. And no, a finder scope does not count. 

S tar parties, trade shows and Stellartrips.

We will be announcing our activities for 2022 later this year. We plan to resume a full Stellartrip schedule now that Covid-19 is finally resolving.
