A lunar eclipse…from both sides!!

On March 13-14, 2025, the Earth passed directly between the Sun and the Moon. Earth cast its shadow, turning the Moon's typically gray and cratered surface red, aka a "Blood Moon."

While NASA’s Glenn Research Center was looking up to see the Blood Moon Eclipse last night, Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lunar lander was looking back at us!

Perspective is everything….

The Horsehead Nebula is fun. It looks just like the chess piece! But it's really where baby stars and planets are forming! This is the astronomy picture of the day (which I am looking at instead of doing homework!?!), and it's really pretty. I like pretty.
