This is how the opening frame of #TheLionKing 🦁 may have looked like, had the story been set close to the #ELT construction site in the Chilean Atacama Desert, rather than the African savannas! 😁 1/ Read more: eso.org/public/images/… πŸ“· E. GarcΓ©s/ESO. Ack.: N. Dubost

Let the cat out into the garden early this morning and managed to spot 4 meteors in the space of 10 minutes (urban area but facing away from lights)! Take advantage of the darker winter nights - whether you're a night owl or early riser, catch the peak of the Quadrantids tonight

Two days of astronomy immersion - I'm in! Anyone else? Looking forward to presenting at #Astrofest2025 next month and hearing from other speakers. I'll be talking about the astronomy-filled year that 2024 was, and sharing what we can expect for 2025! europeanastrofest.com/2024/05/23/spe…

There's been a lot of hype about catching the planetary parade over the last few days, but it'll be visible until around mid-February. Truthfully, the beginning of February (during National Astronomy Week ) will be a great time to try and spot 6 planets in the sky! spacecentre.co.uk/news/space-now…
