❗️🌃 ⭐️ DFW! We can’t skywatch if our stars keep becoming more hidden. Some of our towns have sadly already installed white LED streetlights—please don’t let your town be next. Reach out to your council today! Sample Letters: https://t.co/jws91bS8I0 https://t.co/2lrrwfQuIk

🦉⭐️ What is #DarkSkyLighting and why is reducing #LightPollution Important?

Why is it important to avoid white LEDs and use #amber instead? How can you #help?

if not here, where?? With clouds expected for the eclipse here in North Texas and much of the state, where can you go for better chances of clearing? I have the answer! Here is the current outlook all along the path of totality. #wfaaweather

The birds are disoriented by lights at night and are more likely to collide with buildings as a result, according to Lights Out Texas.https://t.co/sngwtxXZOc

@rachreport You’re welcome!! 😊

[DFW SkyWatchers ✨🛰 @DFWSkyWatchers]

@rachreport @DFWscanner @NBCDFWWeather Yes!!! 🙌🏻 I was in a brightly lit area looking north, and I think it was the large flash/explosion towards the end that caught our attention and made us look East! So glad we got to see it!

[DFW SkyWatchers ✨🛰 @DFWSkyWatchers]

@rachreport @DFWscanner @NBCDFWWeather You’re so welcome!! I retweeted a couple other good shots also if you want to see more, and apparently, many people also heard a boom! ☄️ I’m glad you got to see it! 😊

Around 905-910PM a meteorite was observed by many across Oklahoma and at least the northern half of Texas. Also hearing reports of a ‘boom’ in parts of Texoma and Northeast Texas.

@NBCDFWWeather We saw it from Mansfield looking East! It was very bright green, then turned gold/orange as it burned out. It was beautiful! ☄️✨

[DFW SkyWatchers ✨🛰 @DFWSkyWatchers]

@DavidCKemp117 I just barely saw it!! 🙌🏻 A friend and I were in Mansfield facing East, and we both saw it—very bright green, then bright gold/orange. I’m guessing it was space junk or a disassembled satellite 🛰 re-entering the atmosphere. I’m curious what others think! So cool! ☄️✨

☄️ #CometNEOWISE shines faintly over #DFW. Binoculars were needed to clearly see the tail. What a fun evening with my family and others we met at the park whose excitement made our evening! 🌳☄️ And bonus! My sister got to see a large, yellow meteor!! 🎉💫✨ #Astronomy #SkyGuide
