The heartbreaking but true story of how the Moon will become a worm tonight, 3/13, during the worm Moon. Look up, watch its eclipse, and love it while you still can… 💔
Looking for spring break plans? How about the multiverse? 💫

We’ve all been there, right? 🤔
This eclipseometer from the 1680s was used to effectively predict eclipses for 200 years! But this isn’t a tool of magic or divination, rather, it’s a mathematical tool made by understanding how the Moon, Earth, and Sun move in space. 🌕 🌎 ☀️
Even though its predictive tools ended in the 1800s and it couldn’t predict this week’s total lunar eclipse, we’re still obsessed with this beautiful—and useful—piece! 🥰
3 things you need to know to see the March Total Lunar Eclipse! ⬇️
1️⃣ This eclipse is visible across all of North and South America, so check your time zone! Depending on your location, the eclipse may begin late on 3/13, or just after midnight on 3/14. In Chicago, the partial eclipse begins at 12:09 am CDT on 3/14.
2️⃣ Find a spot away from trees or tall buildings. Lunar eclipses can take several hours from start to finish, so you’ll want to find a spot where the Moon is clear from any visual obstructions.
3️⃣ Totality will be just over 1 hour. In Chicago, we’ll see totality from 1:26 am–2:31 am CDT and the partial eclipse will conclude by 3:47 am CDT.

What can we say…astronomy ain’t fair. 😫
Meet Lisa Beasley, the voice behind Adult Niyah! 👋
Niyah And The Multiverse follows Niyah, a curious pre-teen, as she explores the multiverse. Her adult self (voiced by Beasley) travels through the multiverse to guide young Niyah through three of astronomy’s leading multiverse theories!

There’s a total lunar eclipse on the horizon! Get ready to stay up late on 3/13 to see the Moon covered by the Earth’s shadow. The Moon will become partially eclipsed just after midnight on 3/14 and reach maximum eclipse 1:58 am CDT. You’re not going to want to miss this Moon-umental event! 🌝
Wonder woman Katherine Johnson played a fundamental role in some of NASA’s most important missions. From calculating Alan Shepard’s safe trajectory home, to allowing John Glenn to feel confident orbiting the Earth, Johnson’s mathematical skills left an amazing mark on American space exploration! 🚀
We hate to be the ones to break it to you…but stars don’t live forever. 😫
From time to time, stars go supernova, which is a nice scientific term for “the violent fiery end of a star.” But when stars go supernova, it takes quite a while for their light to fade from our view here on Earth.
So, if we can still see stars that have already crossed the rainbow bridge, how many stars in our night sky are already gone? 💀
