To put this into perspective, consider that the brightness of an object in the night sky is measured by its magnitude, with lower values indicating greater brightness.

On the evening of November 30, the Virtual Telescope Project’s founder, Gianluca Masi, will provide insightful commentary during the ___stream, which is scheduled to begin at 3 p. m. EST (2000 GMT). The event will feature ___ views of Andromeda and Eros, captured by the organization’s wide-field robotic telescopes in Manciano, Italy, weather permitting.
