The Messier Marathon is Complete
We’ve finally done it.
On the channel Deep Sky Videos, we have made videos for each of the famed Messier Objects.
This is a catalogue of 110 objects devised by the astronomer Charles Messier - mainly galaxies and star clusters.
M1 is the Crab Nebula
We have also created some special posters and a “checklist” to mark the finale - learn more about them here. They are free to download or you can buy them.
The Deep Sky Videos project started in 2012.
It has mainly been a collaboration with the University of Nottingham, but there has been help from other people along the way.
In addition to our core list of videos on the Messier Objects, we made numerous other videos.
My personal favourites are the Telescope Tours around the world - watch them here.
M108 was the final video we published
I’m so proud of this video collection.
And I was endlessly impressed by the astronomers who always found something new and interesting to say about each and every object, even the numerous star clusters!
What next?
Well, there a few plans and you can expect our next video very soon (we’ve already filmed it!)
