The Sky Tonight





https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essen...aturn-mercury/

The Pleiades aren't ancient at all – at least not by cosmic standards. This star cluster is only about 100 million years old . To put that in perspective, sharks and sea turtles are older than these stars. While life on Earth was figuring out how to crawl out of the oceans, these stars were just beginning to shine.

This youthful age makes the Pleiades what astronomers call a "very young" star cluster. The stars formed together from the same cloud of gas and dust, and they're still traveling through space as a family unit.

Voyager lore, of both I and II. Lots of factoids, incl that II was launched before I, both in later 1977.

40+ years, still under control, tho there have been some magical fixes to keep one of them connected.

Interstellar Visitor 3I/ATLAS Is Fastest Comet Ever Recorded



NASA's Hubble Space Telescope just captured an incredible image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS racing through our solar system at 130,000 mph. (!) This cosmic wanderer from beyond our solar system may have been traveling for billions of years before astronomers spotted it.

A Star Eats a Black Hole, Then Explodes // JWST's Big Discovery // China's Lunar Lander Test





Ryugu and Bennu are related, a star tried to eat a black hole and it didn’t go well, using moons to save fuel, and China tests its new human lunar lander.

The Night Sky

Wednesday, Aug. 27 - Crescent moon and Spica (after sunset)



After 24 hours of orbital motion, the waxing crescent moon will hop east to shine less than a palm's width to the left (or 5.5 degrees to the celestial southeast) of Virgo's brightest star Spica, with reddish Mars shining off to their right for about an hour after sunset on Wednesday, Aug. 27. After the sun has completely set, use binoculars to scan for the trio just above the western horizon.


Friday, Aug. 29 - Catch the colors of stars (all night)



Stars shine with a color that is controlled by their photospheric temperature, and this is captured in their spectral classification. Late August evenings offer a fine opportunity to see a variety of colored stars. In the eastern sky, the three bright stars of the Summer Triangle asterism, named Deneb, Vega, and Altair, are A-class stars that appear blue-white to the eye. They have temperatures in the range of 7,500 to 10,000 Kelvins. Arcturus, which is located in the western sky after dusk, is an orange, K-class giant star with a temperature of only 4,300 K. Reddish Antares, the heart of Scorpius, is an old M-class star with a low surface temperature of 3,500 K. After midnight local time, look for very bright, yellowish Capella rising in the northeast.

another auspicious night sky. colorful stardust

From August 29 to 31, 2025, the night sky will host one of the rarest and fastest celestial displays — the Aurigid Meteor Shower.

✨ What makes it special?

Originating from Comet C/1911 N1 (Kiess), Aurigids are known for their incredible speed — racing through the atmosphere at nearly 66 km/s.

Though fewer in number, each meteor can shine in vivid colors — green, blue, golden, or even red streaks.

Their rarity makes them a true cosmic treasure — a shower that only peaks a few times in a century.

🔭 How to watch:

Best viewed after midnight under dark skies, far from city lights.

Look toward the constellation Auriga in the northeast.

No telescope needed — just your eyes and patience.

🌌 Don’t miss this chance to see the sky ignite with rare, colorful stardust. A fleeting cosmic performance
