An Annular Solar Eclipse on June 21st puts the cherry on top for the first half of the year with some of our favorite planets being visible to the naked eye during June as well. #planets #celestialskies
It’s incredible to ponder the notion of there being over 30 advanced civilizations in our galaxy. #AlienCivilization
An annular solar eclipse – often referred to as a “Ring of Fire” – that will happen on June 21, right after the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. #eclipse
Astronomers have found a fast radio burst (FRB) that repeats in a looping cycle every 157 days, and they can’t identify the source. #spacemysteries
New measurements collected by a team of astronomers constitute the most precise data yet in this intellectual quest. #univerrse
A team of scientists headed by Shivani Bhandari, an astronomer with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s federal agency responsible for scientific research, has made a breakthrough discovery by pinpointing the precise location of four fast radio bursts (FRBs). #signalsfromspace
We are in for a major spectacle this Friday as we’ll be treated to June’s full “Strawberry Moon” in all of its glory. #fullmooneclipse
The timing of recent flare-ups of unrest happens to coincide with a new wave of solar activity including the strongest solar flare we’ve seen in three years. #solarflare
On June 5th and 6th, the Strawberry Full Moon will also pass through the faint outer shadow of the Earth, known as a penumbral lunar eclipse. #lunareclipse #fullmoon
There’s plenty more in store for all skywatchers, starting with a partial Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on June 5 and 6 and an Annular Solar Eclipse on June 21. #solareclipse #lunareclipse
Since it launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has snapped more than a million images and changed the way we see the universe, literally. Here’s why the Hubble images and the technology are so unique. #hubbletelescope
Scientists analyzing data gathered by Kepler, which NASA retired in November 2018, just found a hidden gem: an Earth-size world that may be capable of supporting life as we know it. #earthlikeplanet
The full pink super moon will be peaking on April 7 and 8, depending on where in the world you find yourself. #superpinkmoon
A team of international researchers believes that they may have found a sign that life once existed on Mars. #lifeonmars
If the day never seems long enough to get everything done, be grateful at least that times have changed. According to fresh calculations, a day on Earth was a full five hours and fifteen minutes shorter a billion or so years ago, well before complex life spread around the planet. #planetearth
