Virtual Star Party for Feb. 3, 2013: Superbowl Sunday Edition

By Fraser Cain - February 8, 2013 at 3:26 AM UTC | Observing

While Fraser was flying back from North Carolina, the Virtual Star Party Team came together for a rousing night of astronomy - even during the Superbowl. There were many views of amazing deep sky objects, including the Orion Nebula, Horsehead Nebula, Blue Snowball, Jupiter, the "37 Nebula", Rosette Nebula, Crab Nebula, Eskimo Nebula, and much more. It was an action-packed evening.
