Learning about meeting astronauts at science museums, in Spanish. The adult, Eddy, is very excited - for him astronauts are Apollo era heros. The child, Junior, is not - for him anyone can be an astronaut if they are rich enough.

Ok so National Astronomy Week 2025 is done and dusted! This event runs about every 4-5 years, and only when there's something awesome for people to look up at. Any bright ideas what we should feature for the next event?

Throwback to how the Moon looked on the first day of National Astronomy Week. How will it look tomorrow, on the last day? And where will it be? (Somewhere exciting!)

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

If anyone is filling in their Chase the Moon chart but missed seeing it last night, cosmos4u's has captured a perfect view of it's location between the planets (click to see the full photos). Then join the dots in a big circle to find the ecliptic. astronomyweek.org.uk/4-february-t...

The Moon has left Venus far behind. But what's this other bright dot it's heading toward? #chasingthemoon for #nationalastronomyweek

Beautiful photo of Venus setting in New Zealand, followed by the Moon. Notice how this view compares to we see in the UK. The Moon is the same phase, but seen the other way up. It's further from the Sun than Venus, just like we see it. Saturn is lost to the Sun's dying light. #nationalastronomyweek

What a great start to #NationalAstronomyWeek at the #DarkSkies event in Hertford. We had a screening of The City Dark film followed by a light switch-off and stargazing with astronomers from Bayfordbury Observatory in Hertford Castle grounds. Frosty and fantastic! #NAW

Hi friends! We don't have an official National Astronomy Week account on Bluesky, so it'd be great if you could help by reposting any of my posts about the event 🙏 Let's get as many people as possible looking up (or if cloudy at least thinking about this incredible universe that we live in!).

It's Day 1 of National Astronomy Week and today we're focusing on the planet Saturn. Find out how to spot it in the sky, and enjoy a seaside photo from one of its moons. We'll be looking at a new object every day. Tomorrow: Venus! astronomyweek.org.uk
