Hey folks! Just wanted to let everyone know that Astronomy Day is coming up this weekend! May 11 is Astronomy Day, and of course, we will be hosting our monthly Stargazing and Laser Light Night to celebrate. Besides the usual night sky viewing with telescopes…
Hey there Space Science fans! I just wanted to post a quick update to wish the Hubble Space Telescope a happy 29th birthday! This amazing spacecraft and telescope is one of the great triumphs of 20th century NASA and continues to provide incredible images as…
So April 10 will be quite the monumental day in astronomical history. It will be the day we get to see our first real picture of a black hole. Every image you’ve ever seen of a black hole, including the one below, is not an…
