National Astronomy Week

1-9 February 2025. This year we'll be chasing the Moon across the sky to find a treasure trove of planets, star clusters and more in the evening skies

[National Astronomy Week @NatAstroWeek]

Today's theme is SATURN - go to our website to find out how to spot this planet, and a seaside photo from one of its moons. https://t.co/DNrOeSyphs

What’s it like in space? Is Earth as beautiful as the pictures? Are the stars even brighter from orbit?

What would YOU #askanastronaut? ✋🗣️👩‍🚀

For pupils at three lucky UK schools that’s exactly the opportunity they’ll have as part of National Astronomy Week. ⤵️

There's been a lot of hype about catching the planetary parade over the last few days, but it'll be visible until around mid-February.
Truthfully, the beginning of February (during @NatAstroWeek ) will be a great time to try and spot 6 planets in the sky!

It's the last day of @NatAstroWeek! Join @LucindaLand for tonight's discussion about whether humans could live on Mars and when we might see the first human mission to the red planet. Book your free tickets here: https://t.co/4ZYbouLxHY

🔭Have you taken some out-of-this world pictures during #NAW2020? We'd love to see them!
🌙Upload your photos of Mars and more to our website to share them with the public https://t.co/Pk7xwudHJq

[RAS Library @astro_librarian]

It's #NAW2020, focusing on Mars. Johannes Kepler analysed Tycho Brahe's observations of Mars, and discovered that the orbit is an ellipse, one of the laws of planetary motion which he published in in Astronomia Nova (1609).

Did you watch The Martian 🧑🏼‍🚀🚀🔴 last night? Are you ready to hear about a future with humans on Mars? Register to come to our last and probably most asked questions through NAW - when will humans go to Mars and how will they live? https://t.co/MMzzS96YrI

[Laurence Tognetti @ET_Exists]

If you were stranded on Mars with no hope of survival, what would you do? 🔴🔴🔴🔴🥺🥺🥺🥺

[National Astronomy Week @NatAstroWeek]

Well done! We love it when this happens. 😊

[David Blanchflower BSc @DavidBflower]

I've done it. Just captured Saturn and Jupiter together in one picture using a telescope.

[Dave Eagle 🔭 Keep Looking Up. @Dave_StarGeezer]

Having great fun this evening with the other fellow astronomers showing live images (from Cyprus) and videos of Mars for @NatAstroWeek
