Happy Space Science Saturday! The Lyrids meteor shower peaks on the night of April 22–23, bringing up to 18 meteors per hour! One of the oldest recorded meteor showers, the Lyrids come from debris left behind by Comet Thatcher. While the radiant is in the constellation Lyra, meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. So find a dark spot, give your eyes time to adjust, and look up. For the best views in Toronto, head out after midnight when the sky is darker and the radiant is higher. #Lyra #CometThatcher #MeteorShower #Lyrids #SpaceExploration #Space #Astronomer #Planets #Stars #Science #Physics #Toronto #YorkUObservatory #AICO #YorkU #SpaceScienceSaturday #Telescope #Astronomy #AllanICarswellObservatory #Research #ScienceOutreach

NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft OperatingThe Low-energy Charged Particles experiment has been operating almost without interruption since Voyager 1 launched in 1977 - almost 49 years. https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/voyager/2026/04/17/nasa-shuts-off-instrument-on-voyager-1-to-keep-spacecraft-operating/#Voyager #science #news #space #spacecraft #astrodon

Hubble Space Telescope image of Arp 6, also known as NGC 2537 or the Bear’s Paw Galaxy.NGC 2537 has a nucleus that is rapidly forming stars, surrounded by a horseshoe-shaped structure that is also forming new stars. Since the stars in the nucleus are older, the horseshoe may be the result of a shockwave sent out by the nuclear starburst.Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI, J.

#PPOD: The #ArtemisII crew captured this view of Earth setting on April 6, 2026. As the astronauts flew over the Moon’s far side, the crew photographed and described terrain features, including impact craters, ancient lava flows, and surface cracks and ridges formed as the Moon slowly evolved. They also noted differences in color, brightness, and texture, which provide clues that help scientists understand the composition and history of the lunar surface.

This video isn't an uninterrupted timelapse but rather combines several intermittent image sequences that were captured during the flyby. It was originally published by NASA on Instagram. Most of these frames have not been published in full quality yet.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DW7AKrtjQQl/I spent a lot of time stabilizing the images since the original video was very jumpy and flickery. I also used frame interpolation to make the motion in the video a bit smoother.

@farah Orion was Artemis’ lover, which bothered Apollo, so he tricked his sister into killing Orion.(Greek and Roman myths are cray-cray. No soap ever came close.)
