Holiday shopping for a space fan? "Eight Years to the Moon" has stories you won't find anywhere else from those who worked behind the scenes to send humans to the Moon. Want an autographed copy? Let me know. Also at the big sellers, or ask your fav bookstore to order it for you!

Just realized I captured Venus, below and to the right of the Sun. Jupiter was also visible to the left and above, but not seen here.

[Nancy Atkinson @Nancy_A]

This is the best my phone could do, but seeing it live was indescribable! We're in a neighborhood and not a lot of people are really close to us but you could hear everyone gasp and cheer in the whole town when the Moon clicked into place! Stunning! #Eclipse2024

@ScienceSocks Awesome photo Daniel, wasn’t it indescribable??

[Nancy Atkinson @Nancy_A]

@Astronomer_Mark Will arrive at my near-center line destination tomorrow, fingers crossed for clear skies!

THIS! This is how you overcome socio-economic and gender barriers using astronomy. Bringing STEM education to communities like this will change many lives and improve their communities.
