"When you look at the northern sky, you can follow the arm of the Big Dipper as it arcs around toward the bright star called Arcturus. Roughly in the middle of that arc, you'll find the Northern Crown constellation, which looks a bit like a smiley face. Sometime between now and September, if you look to the left-hand side of the Northern Crown, what will look like a new star will shine for five days or so."

The long, dark lines on the atmosphere are shadows cast by the planet's rings. At the bottom, craters on icy Mimas (398 kilometers) give the moon a dimpled appearance.

More than 46 years after launch, more than 15 billion miles from home, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is restored, rebooted, and once again sending data back to Earth.
Finally, after months of work, the #ESAEuclid Early Release Observation images, data, first science results, and #Euclid mission reference papers have been released. You can read more in our blog post, which has links to the papers, the press releases, and everything else:
In 45min (noon CEST today) #ESA and the @ec_euclid will release 5 more #ESAEuclid Early Release Observation images to the world. Accompanied by the first release of Euclid ERO science data, as well as 15 reference and science papers.
Tomorrow, 23 May, 12:00 CEST, #ESA and the @ec_euclid will present 15 papers, including first #astronomy results:
5x #ESAEuclid reference papers about the main mission, the instrumentation, and related cosmological simulations
10x Early Release Observation #science papers, ranging from ... near to far
At the same time ESA will make 5 new ERO images public and the underlying science images. This programme was observed before the start of Euclid's main survey.

"It’s difficult to say exactly how many asteroids will be lost… but preliminary results suggest that for every five near-Earth asteroids we discover, we lose one solely due to constellation interference. That’s if no mitigation measures are taken”
Why can't we see the far side of the moon? (www.infoterkiniviral.com)
The moon doesn't seem to rotate at all so that we only see the same side of the Moon.
