Moon Nyoom
With all those upgrades, I was able to mount my phone to my telescope. Recently, the moon finally reached the right phase for it to be visible, so I got great shots of the moon!
With my 6mm high power lens, the moon was super duper detailed. And I realized something amazing: the moon was moving. I was so zoomed in I could see the rotation of the earth! That’s incredible!
Now that my phone is mounted, I don’t have to manually hold it up to take a picture, meaning video became possible. To my amazement, 3 minutes was enough for the moon to enter and exit the telescope’s view. I took a video and made a timelapse:
It’s one thing to know the earth is rotating. It’s another thing to see it with your own eyes. The universe is so cool.
