When you think of astronomy, surface level things usually come to mind: the Hubble Space Telescope, Apollo missions, telescope basics. There’s way more layers to this astronomy iceberg, come explore it with us! #astronomy #space #nasa youtu.be/lgBFuWaQeBc

Reminder for our Twitch viewers that astronomy news will be back today but we won’t be streaming till 10am Pacific Time because Chris has a Q&A during our regular time over on YouTube. We’ll see you all later!


The Harlan J. Smith telescope got shot 7 times. Shockingly, operations resumed the next day. Our new video explores the paradoxical relationship between the precision and resilience of modern telescopes - learn how it applies to JWST and micrometeoroids. youtu.be/mbeXOZdSd3s


Venus doesn’t have a moon… right? We know now our warm planetary neighbor doesn’t have any natural satellites, but go back a few hundred years and astronomers weren’t so sure. Check out our new video to hear the whole story: youtu.be/aEXL4ZIyAf0 #astronomy #space #venus
