Happy Space Science Saturday! On December 7, Mercury appears at its greatest western elongation, positioned 20.7 degrees away from the Sun. This is an ideal opportunity to observe the planet in the early morning.
Look toward the eastern horizon just before sunrise.

Happy Space Science Saturday! Did you know that Deneb and Vega (shown in these images) and Altair (not shown) make up an asterism called the Summer Triangle? An asterism is a well-known pattern or group of stars. These stars are also the alpha (brightest) stars of their constellation and are very prominent in the summer night sky.

Happy Space Science Saturday! Did you know that NGC 2174 (shown in this image) is also known as the Monkey Head Nebula? This is because, when seen in visible light, it can resemble the face of a monkey. NGC 2174 is an Emission nebula which means it emits its own light.
