Enjoying the first cup of coffee this morning when I opened my astronomy app, I noticed Jupiter in the western sky. I zoomed in, and this is what showed up. #astronomy

An incredible shot by astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy. McCarthy says the photo is one of the “most meticulously planned” shots of his career, which has seen no shortage of carefully-planned images that have captured the world’s imagination. #astrophotography #astronomy

The far side of the Moon brought to you by the Chinese Chang'e 5-T1 spacecraft. I realize that Pink Floyd called it the Dark Side of the Moon, but as you can see, there is no dark side; we just don't see it.
