Dear loyal followers, we will shortly be suspending this account and migrating to bluer skies. Please follow bsky.app/profile/chamberlin-… for event information and other fun astronomy stuff!
Heads up for a partial (super harvest) lunar #eclipse Tuesday night! In #Denver we'll just see a tiny bite out of the upper limb, between 8:15 and 9:15pm. Enter your location here for predictions and times. And post your photos after you see it!

Everyone grab your eclipse glasses and take a look at this enormous sunspot, which is bigger than the Earth and has been spitting out solar flares!
‼️PLEASE DO NOT LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT ECLIPSE GLASSES‼️ But do find yours or get some -- you'll need them in April! 😎

And don't forget about our open house event TONIGHT, starting at sunset! #denver #astronomy #stargazing

Great event for #Denver #astronomy buffs if the sky is clear! Antares will disappear behind the shadowed side of the Moon at 8:01pm and reappear from the bright side at 9:11pm. No telescope necessary! Watch from your back yard!
