Remember the “Tunguska Blast” in Ghostbusters? That’s a real thing. #astronomy #ghosts #paranormal #history

Asteroid vs. Comet. Which one will survive this cosmic collision? a.co/d/anQPTNd #astronomy #kids #kidlit #writingcommunity #booksky #space

There has been a disturbance in the force. #space #science #citizenscience #scienceathome

Into crystals and gems? There’s a new kind of tektite for you to collect! The discovery points to an 11 million year old crater that might be hidden somewhere in Australia. #astronomy #space #geology #news

Something to think about if you ever want to live on the moon! #astrophotography #astronomy #news

Librarians, teachers: Interested in a Zoom visit?

Do interstellar comets seed planet formation? meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2025... #astronomy #space #nature

Congrats to Siddharth Patel, a 12 year old Canadian who found two candidate asteroids with NASA’s IASC project! Teachers, sign up your classroom at iasc.cosmosearch.org #space #stem #astronomy #education #citizenscience

Have you heard "Kiss Like A Zombie"? www.marckuchnermusic.com/song/8 It's a Dance-Pop Halloween banger. Play it now!

Citizen Science combined with Artificial Intelligence found invasive malaria mosquito in Madagascar! New paper from the Mosquito Habitat Mapper team. www.eurekalert.org/news-release... #news #nature #climate

Rocking my new backyardworlds.org shirt today! Thanks, Peter Jalowiczor! #citizenscience #astronomy #astrophotography #space

Congrats to NASA Citizen Scientist @melina-iras07572.bsky.social! In 2019, Melina discovered the oldest white dwarf with a debris disk. Now this white dwarf is in the news again. @astroerika.bsky.social et al. suggest it may have recently engulfed a rocky planet. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

NASA Citizen Scientist Michiharu Hyogo is featured in this article about authors of Zooniverse publications. He's a citizen scientist on the Disk Detective and Backyard Worlds projects, & he wrote a first-author paper. #astronomy @royalastrosoc.bsky.social academic.oup.com/astrogeo/art...

So the Earth has quasi-moons! What is the difference between a moon and a quasi moon? (And which one should I howl at?) #astronomy #news #nature #astrophotography

Geophysicist Stefan Burns reported that a Coronal Mass Ejection from the Sun is heading right for interstellar comet 3/ATLAS. Collision expected on October 29. #astronomy #space #news #astrophotography #nature

Meet Earth’s second moon! Well, really it’s a quasi-moon, asteroid 2025 PN 7. #astronomy #news #astrophotography #nature #space

Witness the largest explosions in the universe and help scientists figure out what’s causing them! www.zooniverse.org/projects/amy... #astronomy #citizenscience #astrophotography

This Monday night is the best night to catch 2 comets in the sky at once! Several articles have pointed out that one of them was discovered by an amateur astronomer/citizen scientist. (Of course, most comets are discovered by citizen scientists!) #astrophotography #news

Want to go to Mars one day? Try your hand at spotting Martian clouds! www.zooniverse.org/projects/mar... #scienceathome #citizenscience #space #astronomy

It’s amazing how much one simple image can teach us about physics. Compare the sizes of these two instruments! Frequency = speed/wavelength. #physics #music

Never seen Halley’s Comet? Don’t worry. You’ll be able to watch pieces of it hit Earth on October 21! #astrophotography #astronomy #news

A weird gamma ray burst may be showing us a white dwarf being devoured by a black hole. badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-white-dw... by @philplait.bsky.social #astronomy #news

A newly observed wave crossing the Milky Way may point to a galactic collision. www.aanda.org/articles/aa/... #astronomy #news

Last night, NASA's Perseverance rover looked up at the night sky once more, to capture interstellar #comet 3I/Atlas flying by the red planet. The distance was "only" 0.2 AU or 30 Mio km, far closer than the comet ever got to Earth. 🔭 #3IAtlas Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/Simeon Schmauß

Each NASA-supported citizen science project has a summary page telling you the task you'll do as a volunteer, what's required of you, and how to get started. E.g., Snapshot Wisconsin invites you to inspect trail camera images for roaming wildlife. science.nasa.gov/citizen-scie... #scienceathome

Busy today planning my event next Saturday, 9/27/2025, 4:00pm at An Unlikely Story bookstore, 111 South St. Plainville, MA. 02762. We're going to crash things together and blow stuff up in outer space!!! Get tickets here! #family #fun anunlikelystory.indiecommerce.com/kuchner
