Space Object of the Month: April, 2021
on
Each Friday, the folks at Preachy will offer you something of a reflection for your weekend. This Friday, we present our first Space Object of the Month, in which a Preachy co-editor invites you to learn how to use his telescope (with him):
Items I will try to find: NCG 5128
Why?: ‘Cause it is “well-placed” and…it’s another GALAXY
When: April 13, 2021
It’s maybe a small marvel but, to me, the very fact that things as unfathomably enormous as galaxies are so tiny to us here on Earth is the very thing that makes me want to look more at the sky. Lucky for me, Galaxy NCG 5128, Centaurus A, is well placed this particular evening. If it looks anything like this through the lens of my backyard telescope, I will be plum thrilled.
