Night Sky and more




So we are still looking at the sky at night. You would be amazed at what you can see! We actually saw a black hole! It was fuzzy but when I googled it I could tell it was what I saw. The name of "our" black hole is "cygnus x1". Google it and see what I saw. We have also been able to see the Hubble Telescope go over!!! and the Andromeda Galaxy!!! Gordon is getting pretty good with the telescopic camer. Here is a picture of Jupiter. He figured out how to magnify it so the blur rings show in the picture. The moons don't show as well like this but it's fun to see the rings. We can see both through the telescope!
