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®ion=None&city=Celle

🔊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. 🔭

🥳 It's Day 5 of #NationalAstronomyWeek and most of the UK is cloud free, so you all have no excuse! Go outside and #DoLookUp. 🔭🧪 This is the view from my home in Portobello Edinburgh 🏴, looking South West! 🤩 ℹ️ www.astronomyweek.org.uk

In an unexpected twist of fate, Edinburgh's rain clouds have miraculously cleared to show me this! And I've just realised that it's extra pleasing that tonight we have a half-moon halfway between Jupiter and Venus! 🤓 #DoLookUp #NationalAstronomyWeek 🧪🔭 ↙️ Smartphone ↘️ #Seestar telescope

🥳 Yes! A break in the clouds in Edinburgh. Here is a zoom-in on the crescent moon taken with my #SeeStar S30 telescope, + a smartphone photo out the window of the #moon, #Venus (middle) and #Saturn (lower right). #DoLookUp on Day 2 of National Astronomy Week!🧪🔭 ℹ️: astronomyweek.org.uk

Tonight, the moon and planets show continues in the evening sky. The waxing moon has now passed Saturn and Venus and is above the two planets tonight.
Here in the Hannover, Germany, area, the International Space Station (ISS) will join them at 17:56 CET, just above the horizon.
Simulated view (Stellarium) for that time, with the ISS marked.

Heute Abend geht die Mond-und-Planeten-Show am Abendhimmel weiter. Der zunehmende Mond ist inzwischen an Saturn und Venus vorbeigezogen und steht oberhalb der beiden Planeten.
Bei mir hier im Raum Hannover gesellt sich um 17:56 Uhr auch noch knapp über dem Horizont die Internationale Raumstation ISS dazu.
Simulierter Anblick (Stellarium) für diesen Zeitpunkt, Markierung um die ISS.

🔊Calling London and the South East: you're the only place in the UK with clear skies for the 1st night of National Astronomy Week: 1st-9th Feb! #DoLookUp at the crescent moon which tonight lies between Venus and Saturn. Check astronomyweek.org.uk to find✨🔭 events near you this week! #NAW2025

If you've got clear skies, it's a #DoLookUp moment. Crescent moon, #Saturn and #Venus all in a lovely line to the West! #astrophotography 🧪🔭

Leider haben wir Samstag nicht wirklich was am Himmel erkennen können.
Hat jemand tatsächlich eine Kette von Gestirnen (?) gesehen? Gibt es Bilder?

In conclusion, I love a good #PlanetaryParade but this is a ~2month extravaganza! #DoLookUp Venus is aeroplane-bright in the West, Mars super red in the East and Jupiter shining bright up above. Wishing you all clear skies! 🔭🧪 🧵/end 📹 @chrislintott.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#PlanetaryParade excitement is fantastic! #DoLookUp But I'm baffled by the media saying 25th Jan is a "once in a lifetime event" 🔭🧪 The awesome foursome Mars, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn have been on display for weeks + Neptune & Uranus if you have a telescope. We won't see Mercury until late Feb🤔 🧵1/6

A call to the UK folk on 3rd Jan @ 15:40: #DoLookUp to the South! #Venus is right above the crescent moon and it's stunningly gorgeous to see it in the daylight. 🔭 📷: stellarium-web.org

WOW - this is a strong one! Portobello beach, Edinburgh, lit up by the Northern Lights @ 18:00!! 🔭 #Aurora #DoLookUp #NorthernLights #astrophotography

Today's peachy #moonrise from Portobello, Edinburgh 🏴 I'm a big fan of the (almost) full moon, but its stunning brightness is going to make it extra difficult to spot the #leonids meteor shower which peaks overnight 🤔😠 If you're out walking the dog #dolookup 🔭🌠🧪 ℹ️: www.rmg.co.uk/stories/topi...

Patchy UK cloud cover forecast for tonight so #DoLookUp for #100HoursUnderOneSky Challenge 3 is to find the Summer Triangle. What were you doing when the light left Altair in 2007 & Vega in 1999? It was ~600BCE when the light left Deneb! 🔭🧪

🚨Clear skies alert🚨 #DoLookUp! #100HoursUnderOneSky Challenge 2 is to find Saturn 🪐 This is tricky: to your eye Saturn looks just like a star. If you don't have a fancy app on your phone, type your location into www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/ni... and it'll show you in which direction to look 👍 🔭🧪
