What’s it like in space? Is Earth as beautiful as the pictures? Are the stars even brighter from orbit? What would YOU #askanastronaut? ✋🗣️👩🚀 For pupils at three lucky UK schools that’s exactly the opportunity they’ll have as part of National Astronomy Week. ⤵️
Celebrate @NatAstroWeek 1-9 Feb with our #space themed activities suitable for #primary & #secondary aged #students tinyurl.com/3mh6hke9 #NAW2025 #teachersofx #homeeducation #parents #Careers
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 @NatAstroWeek ) will be a great time to try and spot 6 planets in the sky! spacecentre.co.uk/news/space-now…
We're getting ready for National #Astronomy Week from 1-9 February. The theme is Chasing the Moon and there loads of ways to get involved. Follow @NatAstroWeek + find out more and download resources at astronomyweek.org.uk
Ready for National Astronomy Week (UK)? Check out the astronomyweek.org.uk website to print out your Chase the Moon chart, find events near you, and listen to a new telling of an old story about the phases of the Moon.
🌒 @NatAstroWeek Planetarium Show 🌓 From 11 Jan - 9 Feb you can sit back in the UK's largest planetarium as we explore the night sky's beauty, chase the Moon, discover four dazzling planets, and a treasure-trove of stars. #NAW2025 🎟️ Book here: spacecentre.co.uk/whats-on/chasi…
NAW2025 is coming! Check out our website astronomyweek.org.uk for a sneak peak ahead at what we're planning for 1-9 Feb 2025, or to register your events to appear on the NAW map
🚀Is living and working on Mars realistic? Could we go there in our lifetime? @LucindaLand and guests are now live to discuss and debate living and working on Mars and meet the people who are trying to make this a reality. #NAW2020 youtube.com/watch?v=dccLkD…
🚀Is living and working on Mars realistic? Could we go there in our lifetime? Join @LucindaLand and Guests tonight at 6 to discuss and debate living and working on Mars and meet the people who are trying to make this a reality. #NAW2020 eventbrite.co.uk/e/naw2020-huma…
It's the last day of @NatAstroWeek! Join @LucindaLand for tonight's discussion about whether humans could live on Mars and when we might see the first human mission to the red planet. Book your free tickets here: astronomyweek.org.uk/mars-events/vi…
🔭Have you taken some out-of-this world pictures during #NAW2020? We'd love to see them! 🌙Upload your photos of Mars and more to our website to share them with the public astronomyweek.org.uk/upload-mars-im…
It's #NAW2020, focusing on Mars. Johannes Kepler analysed Tycho Brahe's observations of Mars, and discovered that the orbit is an ellipse, one of the laws of planetary motion which he published in in Astronomia Nova (1609).
Did you watch The Martian 🧑🏼🚀🚀🔴 last night? Are you ready to hear about a future with humans on Mars? Register to come to our last and probably most asked questions through NAW - when will humans go to Mars and how will they live? eventbrite.co.uk/e/naw2020-huma…
Well done! We love it when this happens. 😊
I've done it. Just captured Saturn and Jupiter together in one picture using a telescope.
Having great fun this evening with the other fellow astronomers showing live images (from Cyprus) and videos of Mars for @NatAstroWeek
