🥳✨ HAPPY EUROPA CLIPPER LAUNCH DAY!!

This highly anticipated NASA mission launched TODAY Monday, October 14th. This is the first space mission to focus on Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa.

It will take almost 6 years for the craft to reach its destination, but it brings the most sophisticated set of science instruments to Jupiter’s system. The Europa Clipper must assess the moon’s interior, composition, and geology, and will do so with nine instruments- including an ice-penetrating radar.

You can watch the full launch and learn more at europa.nasa.gov

✨Have you heard of this “mini-moon” that is orbiting Earth until November 25th 2024? ✨

A small asteroid, 33 meters across (just about the size of a bus!) has temporarily entered Earth’s gravitational pull. This asteroid normally orbits around the Sun, but due to some perturbation in its orbit, this asteroid got captured by Earth’s gravitational pull. Earth still only has one natural satellite, our Moon! This asteroid is not a true moon as it’s just temporary and will eventually be deflected back into its previous orbit around the Sun.

Unfortunately for those skywatchers out there, since this asteroid is so small, you cannot see it with your naked eye and is pretty tough to spot with a telescope.

Did anyone else catch the ✨partial lunar eclipse✨ last night? This image was taken by one of our staff members.

A lunar eclipse happens during a Full Moon phase. Earth must be positioned exactly between the Moon and the Sun. Then, the Moon starts to pass through Earth’s shadow. Last night was a partial lunar eclipse, so the Moon only passed through some of Earth’s shadow.

Sometimes during lunar eclipses, the Moon can appear red! This is because as sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, the shorter wavelength light (blues and violets) are being scattered away by the atmosphere. The longer wavelengths (reds and oranges) make it through and in turn make the Moon appear red.

If you missed this one, don’t worry, there will be a total lunar eclipse next March!
