International Observe the Moon Night is next Saturday, October 4. Here's a brand-new way you can observe the Moon with NASA:

How did the Moon come to be? 🌕 Every impact leaves behind a story. With our new citizen science project, Lunar Melt, you can help NASA study lunar craters + boulders, right from your computer. Get started 👉 go.nasa.gov/4mqIphP

Fall is here (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) 🍂 Today is the autumnal equinox, where both day and night are almost exactly 12 hours (with a few exceptions). Meanwhile, the Southern Hemisphere is welcoming the start of spring. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3KgwAgT

There’s no place like home… or is there? ☀️🏠 Our heliosphere, the bubble created by our Sun, is like our “house” in space — but it’s not the only one! We’ve identified many other astrospheres in our galaxy, and the more we learn about our heliosphere, the better we can…

Hey kid… wanna see a conjunction? Before dawn on Sept. 19, you can! Nestled up to the crescent moon, you can find Venus and Regulus, one of the brightest nighttime stars. These three form a conjunction, meaning they appear near each other despite being far apart in space.
