Astronomer Dean Regas gets us eclipse ready.

After more than 20 years at the Observatory, Regas is spreading his wings and pursuing other opportunities.

He's been the astronomer there since 2000.

The Mitchel telescope was first used April 14, 1845, in Mount Adams. It's still used today but at the Observatory in Mount Lookout.

On Cincinnati Edition, we get a preview of what to watch in the night sky in 2023.

The green comet may be a bit of a bust, but planet pairings, shooting stars, a super Blue Moon and partial eclipse are all on the calendar for this year and next.

The Cincinnati Observatory's Dean Regas says unless you're sailing in the South Pacific or on a dark mountaintop, you won't get a clear picture of the green tail across the night sky like many are suggesting.

President Joe Biden will release the first image from the White House at 5 p.m. ET, with more images expected to be released Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

The James Webb Space Telescope will travel one million miles from Earth and peer so far into space, it could lead to a better understanding of how the universe began.
