Dr. Shane Larson — Zombie and Vampire Stars - AL Live
Good evening… and welcome to the darker side of the universe.

Those distant stars may seem peaceful. But appearances can be deceiving.

Out there, stellar corpses linger in the darkness. Some steal material from their companions, feeding on another star. Others survive explosions that should have destroyed them… leaving something behind that refuses to stay dead.

Tonight, we venture into a cosmic graveyard, where the science is real… and the universe writes its own horror stories.

Our guide through this celestial darkness is Dr. Shane Larson, presenting “Zombie and Vampire Stars.”

So dim the lights. Settle into your seat. And if you notice a little twinkle outside your window…

Let’s hope it hasn’t noticed you.

Please welcome Dr. Shane Larson!

🌙 A night out with the Sidara Plus 150! 🔭

We took the new Sidara Plus 150 outside last night to capture some photos and videos of the Moon.

The best part? Everything was captured using just a smartphone and the eyepiece adapter included with the telescope!

No fancy astrophotography setup needed. Just the Sidara Plus 150, your phone, and a clear night sky.

It’s amazing what you can see and capture with a telescope right out of the box!
