Reading Astronomy

Mercury approaches the Pleiades over the next few evenings in the NW sky after sunset. This was the view at 21:30 BST on 25th April. #stargazing #astronomy #mercury #BBCstargazing

Nothing special, just some contrails. Love them or not.

Not sure what kind these are but they looked good this morning

This is a really nice explanation of the Black Hole image and what we're actually looking at youtube.com/watch?v=zUyH3Xhp… and a follow-up youtube.com/watch?v=S_GVbudd…

A stunning trio of objects will grace the morning sky tomorrow (31st). Look SE before sunrise to see the crescent Moon nestled between Venus and Jupiter #stargazing #venus #jupiter #moon #astronomy

Mercury is well placed for observing over the next week or so. It's above right of brighter Venus this evening for example shortly after sunset. You'll need a low and clear western horizon.

Very nice and bright lunar halo this evening #stargazing #bbcstargazing

Don’t miss the Moon directly above Venus this evening. Beautiful. #stargazing

Here’s @dewbow presenting a pictorial journey through glows bows and haloes #stargazing

Can you spot Mercury to the lower right of the Moon later this evening? #stargazing #bbcstargazing

Opportunity to see Mercury, Venus and a very slender crescent Moon tomorrow morning low in the SE #stargazing
