🚀 The First Crewed Lunar Mission in 54 Years, Artemis II, Has Launched At 6:35 p.m. Eastern time, the SLS rocket carrying the Orion spacecraft lifted off from Launch Complex 39B at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Four astronauts—Reid Wiseman, Jeremy Hansen, Christina Koch, and Victor Glover—will fly around the Moon and return to Earth over the course of a 10-day mission. In 2028, as part of the fourth Artemis mission, astronauts are expected to land on the Moon. ⏳ Before Artemis, the last crewed lunar mission was Apollo 17. In 1972, American astronauts landed on the Moon for the sixth time, a feat that remains the most recent lunar landing to this day. Do we need more missions to the Moon? ❤️ — Yes, it is our base for space exploration 🔥 — No, we should focus on Earth

2026 August 3 Vaporizing Meteor Photobombs the Lacerta Nebula Image Credit & Copyright: Tom Burnett What's happening to this meteor? This bright meteor streak appeared and disappeared quickly during a long exposure of the Great Lacerta Nebula, seen faintly in red toward the center of the image. The meteoroid, likely a small pebble, creates its glow partly by heating and exciting surrounding air in Earth's atmosphere, but itself vaporizes and leaves wind-blown gas and dust with colors that give clues to its composition. The featured image was captured last month from Death Valley Observatories in Nevada, USA. This month, though, is particularly good for seeing meteors. Presently there are three meteor showers ongoing, although they are currently competing for visibility with the glow of a bright gibbous Moon. The most active of these showers, the Perseids, will be busiest in about 10 days -- after the Moon has dimmed considerably. This year, the Perseids peak nearly coincides with not only a new Moon, but, from some locations, one that totally eclipses the Sun. 🔗Discuss 🎞HD

There isn't a single person universally recognized as the greatest contributor to astronomy, because different astronomers revolutionized different areas. However, if we consider lifetime impact on astronomy as a whole, these individuals are among the most influential: 1. Isaac Newton ⭐ Many historians consider Newton the most influential figure in astronomy. Major contributions: Discovered the law of universal gravitation. Explained why planets orbit the Sun. Developed the mathematics (calculus) needed to describe planetary motion. Built the first practical reflecting telescope.

🌌 Astronomy Fact #1: The Sun Is a Giant Star ☀️ The Sun may look small in the sky, but it is so huge that about 1.3 million Earths could fit inside it! It contains 99.8% of all the mass in our Solar System. Did you know? The sunlight you see today left the Sun about 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago. 🪐 Astronomy Fact #2: A Day on Venus Is Longer Than a Year Venus rotates so slowly that: 🕒 One day = 243 Earth days 🌍 One year = 225 Earth days That means a day on Venus lasts longer than its entire year! 🌠 Astronomy Fact #3: We Are Made of Stardust The carbon in your body, the oxygen you breathe, and the iron in your blood were all created inside ancient stars that exploded billions of years ago. ✨ Carl Sagan famously said: "We are made of star-stuff." 🌌 Astronomy Fact #4: The Milky Way Is Moving Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is racing through space at about 2.1 million km/h toward the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy. They are expected to merge in about 4.5 billion years. ⭐ Astronomy Fact #5: Neutron Stars Are Incredibly Dense A neutron star is the collapsed core of a massive star. 💡 Just one teaspoon of neutron star material would weigh about a billion tons on Earth. 🚀 Quote of the Day "The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." — Neil deGrasse Tyson

🌍 4. Every Atom in Your Body Is Ancient The atoms that make up your body were forged inside stars billions of years ago. Quote: "You are literally made of stardust." ✨ ☄️ 5. A Day on Venus Is Longer Than a Year Venus takes 243 Earth days to rotate once but only 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun. Funny caption: "Imagine waiting for your birthday... before yesterday even ends!"

Betelgeuse. Stellar magnitude +1.1 m. 🔭 The star alpha (a) Orion is a red supergiant. Its proper name, Betelgeuse, is of Arabic origin. The exact meaning of the word has been lost, various interpretations include meanings such as "Central" or "home of Orion". Betelgeuse is one of the few stars with a disc visible through a telescope and for which it has been possible to measure its diameter directly. The atmosphere of Betelgeuse, placed at the center of the solar system, would be beyond the orbit of Mars. The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024). Stellar magnitude + 10.7m and the M78 Nebula. Magnitude +8.3m. The Flame Nebula is one of the star-forming regions in the constellation Orion. Under good atmospheric conditions on dark winter nights you can still try to see even with binoculars (diameter from 70 mm). 1st image - comparison Betelgeuse to the Sun 2nd image - Betelgeuse through telescope 3nd image - The Flame Nebula (NGC 2024)
