Light pollution in #Cumbria is increasing, threatening our view of the stars & blinding and confusing animals so they can’t feed or find a mate. But there are ways you can help, see our outdoor lighting tips: friendsofthelakedistrict.org… #darkskies @NorthPennines @mars_stu @Robbieince

So last night I went stargazing with a professional astronomer and I saw the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, Polaris, the milky way and andromeda. Not to mention lots of other stars that I can’t remember the name of. I am still in awe 🌌

High point of Perseid meteor shower may have been last night - but that was just the peak. You will still see shooting stars over next few days. So if you got clouded out don't despair. @northyorkmoors @NlandNP @yorkshire_dales @NorthPennAONB @Howardian_Hills @NidderdaleAONB

The dark layer near the horizon is the shadow of the earth projected onto the sky. The eclipsed part of the moon is in the same shadow. Seeing the eclipsed moon sitting on the edge of the earth shadow in the sky, is the story. #StargazingABC #ABCScience #SpaceGandalf

SpaceX Starlink satellites may be spotted over UK tonight (25/05/19). 23:14 look low towards the Southern horizon. 00:52 and 02:30 look towards the West horizon. In each graphic if you're under the white line they will appear right above your head! @BBCStargazing @elonmusk

What do you feel when you look up at a starry sky? In partnership with @NatGeo we took families out to experience darkness & observe the night sky, in what was an awe-inspiring moment. We encourage you to deepen your connection with each other & the cosmos and LOOK UP! #IDSW2019
