New for you: monthly variable star episodes!

Each variable star and corresponding episode, complete with observing tips for the beginner who has never found a star or calculated its brightness, is brought to you by a collaboration of the AAVSO, Charles W. Brown Planetarium at Ball State University, and the International Planetarium Society.

Check out this month's star to observe!

The mission of the AAVSO is to enable anyone, anywhere to participate in scientific discovery through variable star astronomy.
