. @IAUastroEDU is back & is again publishing peer-reviewed educational activities based on astronomy for students of all ages and all over the 🌍

Check out this one, where students will discover how the shapes of #constellations change over time

[IAU Office of Astronomy for Education @astro4edu]

New on the astroEDU platform of peer-reviewed educational activities: “Moving Constellations” uses free software, satellite data, and other accessible tools to show how constellation shapes evolve over time

Thank you @ESO for featuring me on this blog post!! 🙏

My internship was an unforgettable experience. I have learned so much and met so many brilliant people! An experience I can recommend to anyone interested in #scicomm...and especially if passionate about #astronomy! 🌌

[ESO @ESO]

Do you have an itch for science communication? In our latest #ESOblog several past ESO Science Communication Interns told us about their experience and how it helped them get where they are now. Check it out!

Rome wasn't built in a day

The same applies to our quest for the #blackhole at the centre of our galaxy, whose first image has been disclosed last week by the @ehtelescope

A quest that started in the 1930s with four tires! The whole story in this #ESOblog I have written! 👇

[ESO @ESO]

To celebrate #BlackHoleWeek we'd like to tell you the story of the black hole lurking at the centre of our galaxy, a story that goes all the way back to the 1930s! Find out more in our latest #ESOblog

Finding the words to express how beautiful this is is really hard...

[US National Gemini Office @usngo]

The All-sky camera at @GeminiObs South got a pretty good view of the Lunar eclipse last night! Note the very sharp decrease in brightness between 12-17 seconds! #discovertogether #Eclipse #EclipseLunar #Eclipse2022 @NOIRLabAstro @NOIRLabAstroES

[Giulio Mazzolo @GiulioMazzolo]

Still wondering what exactly has been revealed yesterday and why it is so important? 🤔

If so, check out this @ESO explainer (to which I had the pleasure to contribute 😉):

Black holes tend to have a bad reputation, but as shown by @HUBBLE_space, sometimes even villains can do good things 🙂

[HUBBLE @HUBBLE_space]

1/ Black holes are often described as the monsters of the universe—tearing apart stars, consuming anything that comes too close. Detailed evidence from Hubble, however, shows a black hole fostering, rather than suppressing, star formation.

We could not ask for a better Xmas present! 🎁 the James Webb telescope is now in space on its journey towards the L2 point, from which it will unfold the heavens!

For a quick overview of its mission, have a look at my post for the @ESO blog! 👇

[NASA @NASA]

Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse

[Giulio Mazzolo @GiulioMazzolo]

How will @NASAWebb and @ESO's ELT revolutionise our understanding of alien worlds, stars, galaxies, and the early Universe? The answer in my latest #ESOblog! 🥳

Can't wait for #JamesWebb to be launched into space in a few days! 🤞

@SpaceTelescope @ESA_Webb

[ESO @ESO]

With the upcoming launch of @NASAWebb you might be wondering how it will cooperate with ground-based telescopes like @ESO 's ELT to solve the mysteries of the universe. We've got you covered! Check out our latest #ESOblog
