There's been a lot of hype about catching the planetary parade over the last few days, but it'll be visible until around mid-February.
Truthfully, the beginning of February (during @NatAstroWeek ) will be a great time to try and spot 6 planets in the sky!

Two days of astronomy immersion - I'm in! Anyone else?
Looking forward to presenting at #Astrofest2025 next month and hearing from other speakers.
I'll be talking about the astronomy-filled year that 2024 was, and sharing what we can expect for 2025!

Let the cat out into the garden early this morning and managed to spot 4 meteors in the space of 10 minutes (urban area but facing away from lights)! Take advantage of the darker winter nights - whether you're a night owl or early riser, catch the peak of the Quadrantids tonight
National Space Centre@spacecentre
🌠 Meteor Shower Alert🌠 The Quadrantids peak overnight tonight, 3-4 January. This meteor shower produces up to 80 meteors an hour. 🌒 The waxing crescent Moon will set in the west in the early evening providing ideal viewing conditions. Wrap up warm! spacecentre.co.uk/news/space-now…

This is how the opening frame of #TheLionKing 🦁 may have looked like, had the story been set close to the #ELT construction site in the Chilean Atacama Desert, rather than the African savannas! 😁 1/
