🪐✨ IT'S HAPPENING TONIGHT

One of the most anticipated Skywatching events of 2026 is unfolding above Stonehenge.

✨ Naked-eye planets:

Mercury

Venus

Jupiter

Saturn

🔭 Uranus and Neptune are much fainter and are best viewed with binoculars or a telescope. A clear western horizon shortly after sunset offers the best chance to spot the brighter planets.

It is a modern recreation of the famous painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh. Both the image and the painting depict a tall tree on the left, a crescent moon on the upper right, the planet Venus just to the right of the tree, a foreground horizon rising from left to right, and clouds above the horizon.

My favorite part of the Artemis II crew live interview that look place on April 2nd shortly after their TLI burn that committed them to go to the moon.

They spoke from 30,000 miles away from the earth. At the peak of their lunar orbit, they will be farther away than any human has ever been.

And when they pass behind the far side of the moon, it will be in radio silence, cut off from all communication with the ground, the first people in five decades to lose sight of the earth.

But looking back at us-

"Trust us, you look amazing, you look beautiful."
