The 4th Supermoon of 2023 is tonight. The Sept. full moon is known as the Harvest Moon because it is the closest to the Autumn Equinox. We hope you have a howling good (and safe) time tonight. Source - Farmer's Alamanac 📷 Joy Roland #keeplookingup

This is the age of Sagittarius! Sagittarius! Ooops, wrong lyrics. Sagittarius looks more like a tea kettle than an archer. The constellation represents the Centaur of greek mythology, Chiron, who unlike his brethren, was an intellectual and became a teacher.

This artistic rendering of a cat in space created by a guest this summer, isn't far off the mark. There has been, to date, one instance of a cat going into space (nope, that movie from 1978). It was a French feline named Felicette. https://t.co/UdH2ixK3KX

So, is it an ooey, gooey nougat center like Mars (you know, the bar)? Or something more? NASA determines what is at the center of Mercury.

NASA Scientists found evidence that Mercury’s inner core is indeed solid and that it is very nearly the same size as Earth’s inner core.

What a cool project! Will you participate? #keeplookingup #eclipses
What does it sound like during an eclipse? Our newest citizen science project will study how insects and animals respond to the upcoming annular and total solar eclipses. Find out how you can @DoNASAScience: https://t.co/N29B6bRYym

Burrrp! Oh, excuse me says the black hole never. Recently scientists have discovered that black holes suffer indigestion for years and then suddenly belch out fragments of stars they have consumed.
