The strawberry moon marks the final full moon of spring or the first of the summer season. #supermoon
If you can’t see the eclipse due to geography, cloudy conditions or quarantine restrictions, these online streams have you covered.
The solar eclipse is primed to take place on June 10 and will entail the fringes of the moon being enshrouded in what appears to be a blazing ring of fire. #solareclipse
NASA has confirmed the existence of more than 4,300 exoplanets. Do you think some of them may host alien life? #exoplanets
The first lunar eclipse of 2021 is going to happen during the early hours of May 26. But this is going to be an especially super lunar event, as it will be a supermoon, a lunar eclipse, and a red blood moon all at once. #lunareclipse2021
New research provides the best evidence to date into the timing of how our early Milky Way came together, including the merger with a key satellite galaxy. Using relatively new methods in astronomy, the researchers were able to identify the most precise ages currently possible for a sample of about a hundred red giant stars in the galaxy. #milkyway #GaiaEnceladus
A new study published in the Physical Review Letters suggests that the remnant cores of dead average-size stars can explode like a nuclear bomb. #supernova #whitedwarfstars
Researchers report the discovery of a super-Earth orbiting the star GJ 740, a red dwarf star situated some 36 light-years from Earth. #SuperEarth #RedDwarfStar
Skygazers were treated to a glimpse of a “pink supermoon” as the celestial event lit up the skies across the globe. #supermoon
The highlight of the new chart is a wake of stars, stirred up by a small galaxy set to collide with the Milky Way. The map could also offer a new test of dark matter theories. #MilkyWay
In April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told. #EHTBlackHole
Vega, one of the brightest stars in the night sky, may play host to a giant planet with average surface temperatures of 5,390 degrees Fahrenheit. #starVega #Vegastar #starsinthesky
Scientists are seeing X-rays being emitted from Uranus for the very first time, according to new research. #star #starxrays #xrays #uranus
We are made of stardust, the saying goes, and a pair of studies finds that may be more true than we previously thought. #stardust #carbon
Two years after the first-ever image of a black hole was produced, an international team of scientists has released an updated view of the magnetic fields surrounding it
