Explore the Universe with Hubble Messier Catalog

From the creator

The Messier catalog includes some of the most fascinating astronomical objects that can be observed from Earth's Northern Hemisphere. Among them are deep-sky objects that can be viewed in stunning detail using larger telescopes but are also bright enough to be seen through a small telescope. This characteristic makes Messier objects extremely popular targets for amateur astronomers possessing all levels of experience and equipment. They are so popular, in fact, that they have inspired a special award from the Astronomical League (an organization for amateur astronomers) given to observers who are able to spot each of these objects. Those who succeed receive a certificate and are given the distinction of being in the Messier Club. (Hubble Messier Catalog Facebook Live Program Oct ober, 19, 2017.)
