On April 8, the Moon, the Sun, and Earth will be *NSYNC, causing a total solar #eclipse across the Americas. Lance Bass shares how to safely enjoy the view (while sharing a few more puns).

This is Carnegie astronomer Edwin Hubble's famous VAR! plate. #OTD 100 years ago, he made the observations that enabled him to prove the universe exists beyond our own Milky Way galaxy. This breakthrough was made possible by the 100-inch telescope at @MtWilsonObs.
