Lunar Orbiter Can See Apollo Equipment on the Moon

One of the main questions, believe it or not, that we get asked whenever we have a star party is this, “Can you see the American flag on the moon with that telescope?” I know it sounds hilarious, but we get asked this all the time, and we generally only lug around an 8” telescope to our star parties.

Moon Occults Antares on June 6th

As the moon makes its monthly circuit around the sky it often passes in front of stars, blotting them out for as much as an hour or so. Such an occultation can be a startling spectacle, especially if the star is bright. The star appears to creep up to the moon's limb, hang on the edge for a minute or two, and then, without warning, wink out. Later it flashes back into view just as suddenly on the moon's other side.

Ice in Martian Crater

Icy craters on Mars
HiRISE researchers were elated, but not particularly surprised, to discover some small, freshly gouged craters in images taken last year. How fresh is fresh? One cluster must have appeared sometime between June and August, and a somewhat larger pit showed up between January and September. What did astound the team were splashes of white seen in and around a handful of these craterlets. Could it be water ice? Read More...

Movie about the Flood

Although the 4th Day Alliance is focused solely on teaching Creation Astronomy, we are strong advocates of all branches of Creation Science. We are particularly in favor of promoting the message of the global flood. A new Christian ministry, called In Jesus Name Productions is now in the process of developing a major motion picture about the flood. We highly recommend that everybody get involved in the process.
