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

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

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
