Did you know @FifthStarLabs SkyGuide app has an AR mode so you can double check you chopped the right tree down and show people how bad your view of certain targets are so they can play you the worlds tiniest violins? 🎻
Leo looking extra fabulous today. Sky Guide is the @AppStore App of the Day in the US, UK and Italy! Very cool! An honor we’ve not had until now. 😊 🙏

Are you in the UK and saw something triangular and bright in the sky around 10:15pm and are wondering what the hell it was? That was the Atlas V rocket rentering the atmosphere after launching the #Landsat9 satellite!

Vous avez aperçu la planète #Mars dans le ciel récemment ? Non ? C’est normal : elle sera en conjonction avec le Soleil le 8 octobre, et est d’ores et déjà trop proche de notre étoile pour être observable. (illustration : Sky Guide - @FifthStarLabs)
100 miles into space.
This rare red #aurora is located in space, it’s above the Kármán line, the official boundary between Earth and space.

This morning, I'm working on an exciting new article for @FifthStarLabs Sky Guide.
With the recent #LaPalmaeruption, we pose the question: why do we built telescopes on or near active volcanoes? Surely the ash, earthquakes, and lava can't be worth it? 🤔
What do you think?
