Check out this gorgeous sunset/moonset/Venus-set timelapse from last night😍. If you've got clear skies tonight, #DoLookUp! Venus is now below the crescent moon. Taurus is off to the left (looks like a V). The heavenly 7-sisters star cluster (Pleiades) is right below the moon!🧪🔭 ℹ️: stellarium-web.org

I love it that everyone loves a #supermoon. Tonight is the night so #DoLookUp! Fine print: this astronomical event comes with a expectation-management disclaimer: *The Supermoon is only 15% brighter than a normal full moon and I personally can not tell the difference 🤔 *Every moon is SUPER🔭🥳

The rare lunar standstill happens around the solstice when the moon at its most extreme point in its 5° tilted orbit. This only happens every 18.6 years and the further North you are, the better. #DoLookUp tonight! 🧵/end 🧪🔭 ℹ️: www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/strawbe...

Kleiner Astro-Tipp für Deutschland: heute Abend könnt ihr nicht nur die ISS sehen (gegen 20:15 Uhr), sondern auch noch den Transporter, mit dem die Astronaut*innen heute zurückkommen (gegen 19:58 Uhr).

Genaue Sichtbarkeiten für euren Standort könnt ihr z.B. hier finden: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/view.cfm?country=Germany&region=None&city=Celle

Spot The Station

See the International Space Station! As the third brightest object in the sky the space station is easy to see if you know when to look up.

🔊It's gravity assist day! Today Mars will bend the #EuropaClipper trajectory towards Jupiter. At 17:57(UK)/12:57(EST) 🛰️Clipper will be just 550 miles above Mars’ surface, testing its thermal imager & radar. So #DoLookUp to Mars and give Clipper a little wave 👋🥳 ℹ️ www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/nasas-e... 🔭🧪

My neighbour was sad - tonight's poor cloud forecast meant she would "miss the great #planetaryparade". Good news: this is an ongoing phenomenon so #DoLookUp whenever your skies clear! Mercury is in the sunset West, getting easier to spot as days pass! Venus, Jupiter & Mars resplendent as ever. 🔭
