If the clouds clear, look up at dusk tonight for a beautiful celestial meetup 🌒✨

The waxing crescent Moon will appear right beside brilliant Venus, then continue its journey across the sky over the next two evenings, passing between Venus and Jupiter tomorrow night before moving just above Jupiter the following evening.

One of the best parts of astronomy is watching the rhythms of the night sky unfold in real time. We hope you get a chance to enjoy the view with us 🌟

Before humanity took its first steps on the Moon, there was the mission that proved it could be done. 🌕🚀

Apollo 10 was the final “dress rehearsal” before the historic Moon landing. It tested orbital maneuvers and mission operations just months before Apollo 11.

The mission even brought a little personality to space — the command module was nicknamed “Charlie Brown,” while the lunar module was called “Snoopy.” 🐶🌟

Today, its legacy lives on through Artemis as humanity prepares to return to the Moon and venture farther into deep space.

From rehearsal to the next giant leap. 🌎➡️🌕

On this day, in 1973 our world looked a little different 🚀✨

The launch of Skylab marked a major milestone in space exploration as it became America’s first space station and a home for groundbreaking scientific discoveries in orbit. From studying the Sun to understanding how humans adapt to life in space, Skylab helped pave the way for the future of long-duration missions and modern space stations.

More than just a spacecraft, Skylab was proof that curiosity and innovation can take humanity farther than ever imagined. ☀️🛰️

Today let’s celebrate the mission that turned space into a place we could truly live, work, and explore!

Swipe for some zero gravity silliness 👀

It’s hard not to be wowed by Artemis and the stunning images capturing humanity’s return to deep space exploration 🚀🌕

As Artemis carries us toward the Moon once again, we’ll also be looking back at the milestones that made it possible — from Skylab to Apollo 10 and Moon phases throughout the month.

Stay tuned for more space history, discoveries, and moments worth celebrating!

✨Happy May Day! This time of year is astronomically significant and is known as a cross quarter day between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.

🌕🌸Tonight is also the Full Flower Moon. But, it’ll look somewhat smaller than normal, because the Moon is almost 250,000 miles away from Earth, instead of its average 238,000 miles. Let us know in the comments👇 if you noticed a difference in size and brightness.

🪶🙏Millions of birds will be flying over Colorado tonight and tomorrow! Turn off your exterior lights to make a difference for our feathered friends — it helps them navigate north to their nesting sites, plus it saves energy and keeps our skies darker.

Watch birds via radar and get a 3-day forecast. More info at Lights Out 🔗 in bio.
