Messier Objects

Episode 1708 Published 1 year ago
Description

In the 18th century, a French astronomer who was a regular comet hunter kept finding things in the sky that weren’t comets, but they also weren’t stars or planets. 


He created a list of these objects, not because he was trying to catalog the night sky, but rather to help other comet hunters avoid these common objects.


It turned out his list consisted of some of the most incredible objects inside and outside of our galaxy.


Learn more about Messier Objects, how they were documented and what they are on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
