MSAS welcomed Dr Phil Bull who guided us through the latest ideas of when galaxies first formed. Looking at data from the HST and JWST he described how the limit of observation is now 290 million years after the Big Bang and how images of an Einstein Arc showed a galaxy forming 13 billion years ago.

Like all new amateurs MSAS' Simon C has enjoyed looking at the area around Orion and as everyone does he tried his hand at the Horse Head Nebula with a Celestron Origin fitted with a nebula filter to capture this image last week.

MSAS gave a warm welcome to Robin Catchpole yesterday. Robin carefully led us through the history of astronomical observation from Lippershey's invention of the telescope comparing each improvement over the past 400 years. Robin concluded by discussing how we look past the visible spectrum and GWs.

During the winter months MSAS member Mick N turns his attention away from the Sun and exercises his skills on the Moon and other objects. Here he caught February's first quarter Moon from his home in north-east Sheffield.

MSAS welcomed Dr Alex Hall to talk about the ESA Euclid mission. Alex recounted the origins of the progam and how it was conceived, planned and launched in 2023. He went on to describe how Euclid operates and how the data will be used to explore Dark Energy and test Einstein's General Relativity.

With Cassiopeia being high in the night sky this is a good time to image the Bubble Nebula, NGC7635. The bubble is created by stellar wind from a young bright star pushing away the nebula material. MSAS member Simon C. took this image on the 12th January.
