Why replace that noisy electric attic fan with an exact replica that will need to be changed again in another 5-10 years? We replace your existing electric attic fan or install a new or secondary fan with a solar attic fan. These fans have a 25-year warranty, run without running up your utility bill, and are silent!
Movie made from 62 video sequences taken at 1 minute intervals. Videos were processed in Registax to make JPEGs. The JPEGs were aligned in Photoshop, finally the video was made with PhotoLapse. Way too much work for a 4 second video! A C8 telescope at F/10 was used to capture the video.

C8 telescope at F/10 and Imaging Source video camera. Video frames stacked with RegiStax. Enlarged 150%.
Terrible photo, but beautiful scenery. To my shame, I don't know the lunar features besides the maria by name without consulting maps.
ok, Asteroids perspective,,,, 1. Ceres, 2. Pallas, 3. Juno, 4. Vespa, 5. Astrae, 6. Hebe, 7. Iris, 8. Flora, 9. Metis, 10. Hygrea

Same video sequence processed with AVIStack and RegiStax. Overall, I like the RegiStax version better.

Jupiter with Io and Europa. 14" Newtonian and Imaging Source video camera. RegiStax used for processing.
Using my awesome Cosmic Explorer and experimenting with long shutter speeds and my cell phone as the light source.
This artist's concept puts solar system distances in perspective. The scale bar is in astronomical units, with each set distance beyond 1 AU representing 10 times the previous distance. One AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth, which is about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. Neptune, the most distant planet from the sun, is about 30 AU.
Informally, the term "solar system" is often used to mean the space out to the last planet. Scientific consensus, however, says the solar system goes out to the Oort Cloud, the source of the comets that swing by our sun on long time scales. Beyond the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, the gravity of other stars begins to dominate that of the sun.
The inner edge of the main part of the Oort Cloud could be as close as 1,000 AU from our sun. The outer edge is estimated to be around 100,000 AU.
NASA's Voyager 1, humankind's most distant spacecraft, is around 125 AU. Scientists believe it entered interstellar space, or the space between stars, on Aug. 25, 2012. Much of interstellar space is actually inside our solar system. It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it.
Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun. AC +79 3888 is actually traveling faster toward Voyager 1 than the spacecraft is traveling toward it.
The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA. The Voyager missions are a part of NASA's Heliophysics System Observatory, sponsored by the Heliophysics Division of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
