Happy Halloween! 🎃 It's not just Earth that's getting spooky today - space has some cosmically creepy sights too. 👻 The Witch Head Nebula, known as IC 2118, is a reflection nebula that glows an eerie blue colour thanks to light reflected from its star Rigel.

The UK Fireball Alliance is hopeful walkers will stumble across the space rocks which fell in the Highlands in July.

After a year of scientific scrutiny, a rock sample collected by the Perseverance rover has been confirmed to contain a potential biosignature. The sample is the best candidate so far to provide evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars. https://t.co/0BAO1dhMG8

Did you know it's a double celebration? On the 14th of September, the first detection of gravitational waves was made by the @LIGO and @ego_virgo collaboration, and on the 15th of September, the Planetarium at Glasgow Science Centre officially reopened after our digital refit! 🥳

When Earth is closest to the Sun in its orbit, it's known as perihelion; when it's furthest from the Sun in its orbit, it's known as aphelion.

The Rubin Observatory is set in the Atacama Desert, Chile, high atop the mountain Cerro Pachón and far away from the lights of the closest towns. This gives it the perfect vantage point for its mission to rapidly survey the sky and discover new asteroids, supernovae and more!
