We had a great planet viewing session this morning. Mercury wasn't quite above the treeline yet and Saturn was to the right of the viewer in this photo. There's still time to see all 5 planets in the morning sky, in order from then sun for the rest of this month.

If you missed the Tuesday and Thursday morning planet viewings, you can join Bob Victor tomorrow morning before sunrise to view the 5 naked eye planets! At 5:06am you will also be able to spot the International Space Station passing under the line of planets in East Lansing.

Spartan Young Astronomers Club this Saturday from 10am-noon!

"This is just one sliver of data that NASA Webb Telescope is providing us." Astrophysicist Knicole Colon explains the importance of using spectroscopy, and how we can use it to find exoplanets, and even gaze into their atmospheres. nasa.gov/webbfirstimages #UnfoldTheUniverse

Better together. International collaboration gave us the most powerful space telescope ever made, and the deepest infrared views of the universe ever seen. With our partners at @ESA and @CSA_ASC, the science can begin. Together we #UnfoldTheUniverse: go.nasa.gov/3azyGqM

Join us on Wednesday August 17th (7:30 PM -- 9:30 PM) at the Michigan Wildlife Conservancy for another in-person Astronomy on Tap. The event is rain or shine, but if the weather is suitable we might be able to do telescope viewing after the event🔭🔭. Be many!!

Giant news from a giant planet! NASA Webb Telescope captured a new view of Jupiter in infrared light, uncovering clues to the planet’s inner life. Two moons, rings, and distant galaxies are visible. Get the details: go.nasa.gov/3pErDkC
