Today is the fortieth anniversary of the launch of the first lunar probe - Luna 10. We will once again use this opportunity to observe the crescent moon. A little north to the tip of the southern tip, you should look at two craters that are on the line of light tonight - Steinhill Watt. The years are almost identical in some parts and partially overlap each other. Steinhill, named after the mathematician, physicist, optician and astronomer Carl August von Steinhill is slightly deeper and the northern between the two. Watt is named after the Scottish engineer James Watt - the first to register a patent for the use of a telescope for research that will allow exposure of a little more detail at the bottom.
In the more northern regions at this time of the year the aurora borealis phenomenon increases. There are websites on the Internet that provide an alert on the location and expected time of the aurora borealis phenomena.
