Astronomy Calendar of Celestial events 2021 has gone digital, and you can access it from your favorite browser. It is currently supported for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox,  Microsoft Edge and others.

Behind Cedar Trees, lies an epic story of resilience and resistance, dating back to biblical times when dense forests covered this land. They are stargazers by nature - always looking up.

After putting a tedious effort in what I love the most, rounding edges and carefully nitpicking, I am overly pleased to announce to you that my Astronomy calendar for the year 2019 has been finally published. The calendar is a well thought-of crafted design, includes my favorite photo picks of the last few years alongside all major and minor astronomy related events of relevance to the passionate avid astronomer (e.g: Eclipses, Conjunctions, Meteor Showers, Lunar Phases. etc..)

It’s safe to say that astrophotography and amateur astronomy has been blooming in Lebanon. On every new moon, astrophotographers relocate their heavy artillery to dark spots for a recurrent date with the stars.

Lebanon celebrated Astronomy Day. Hundreds of people interested in Astronomy participated from across the country to participate and enjoy the show. The event was of utmost success and raised the bar for future science events in the area. 

… spoiler alert: not even a UFO. A spectacular bright flying object dashed slowly for 50 seconds through Dubai's sky was spotted and recorded on video. People reportedly thought it was an aircraft crashing, a UFO and even a meteor (some thought that the Russians are invading).

From Lebanon's dark skies with love. Catch the glimpse of Daniel Caracache's flabbergasting Deep Sky Images.

We encountered another twilight this morning after our first Aurora hunting overnight, we returned back to our hotel to recharge our batteries and inject some blood in our caffeine systems, just before shooting a 98.7% Solar Eclipse.

Today featured a partial solar eclipse and here are my shots.
