Attention dark sky watchers! 🗣️

November has some exciting events in the UK, including the Taurid meteor shower.

The Taurid has two peaks, one which occurred in early October and another on November 12. But you can still catch them this week - just make sure you have a dark sky and clear view! ☄️

The picture that changed everything. In 1968, "Earthrise" allowed us to see our home planet from the outside for the first time.

To quote the photographer, astronaut Bill Anders: "We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth."

Did you catch the northern lights this week? Sometimes they can be viewed as far south as the UK!

Although they can be hard to see with the naked eye, you can often catch them through your phone camera. Charlotte took the second pic in May 2024 in SE England using just her iPhone.
