Happy Astronomy Day! 🌌🔭

Today is all about bringing the universe a little closer to home. Astronomy Day is a global celebration where amateur and professional astronomers invite the public to go outside, look up, explore the stars, and reconnect with our place in the cosmos.

Whether it's a peek at the Moon through a telescope, a stargazing walk, or a deep conversation about dark matter — today is your invitation to wonder.

⭐ Find a local event
🔭 Set up your telescope
🌍 Or just go outside, look up, and connect with the cosmos.

The universe is waiting.

"The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff."
-- Carl Sagan

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY BOTSWANA

57 Years ago today on your country's birthday the moon phase was waning gibbous a day after full moon just like today.

Enjoy your independence day and don't forget to look up to the moon tonight and see how the moon appeared when you gained independence.

The deepest view ever obtained in the universe. Filled with galaxies. The several spiked objects are local stars in our own Milky Way. Ignore them. Everything else is an entire galaxy unto itself. Notice that many distort into arcs. These are distant galaxies that reveal the curvature of spacetime caused by the gravity of a cluster of galaxies in image's center.
