She almost died collecting a shell. 🐚

And that’s just one of the stories you’ll hear when we go beyond the exhibit labels and get to know the extraordinary people behind the Houston Museum of Natural Science.

Introducing Museum Stories, a new intimate conversation series featuring the curators, scientists, explorers and museum leaders whose adventures, discoveries and close calls are usually kept behind the scenes.

Our first story belongs to Tina Petway, HMNS Curator of Malacology, who will share the remarkable experiences behind a lifetime of exploring the natural world.

What were you able to see? 👀🔴🌒

Clouds may have tried to steal the show during last night’s lunar eclipse, but our staff managed to catch a few glimpses between the breaks!

Here are some of the photos we were able to grab from this celestial event.

The Moon is about to turn RED! 🔴🌕

Get ready for a celestial show you can enjoy from pretty much anywhere, and won't be happening again for nearly 3 years.

During the upcoming near-total lunar eclipse on the evening of August 27, Earth will slip between the Sun and Moon, casting our planet’s shadow across the lunar surface and turning the Moon a stunning shade of red.

And the best part? You don't need to be in a special location to see it. If you have clear skies and a view of the Moon, you have a front-row seat!

But for those who want a spectacular view with other stargazers, check out the Copper Moon Event at the George Observatory. Tickets available here: https://my.hmns.org/74648/74649

Clear skies, moon watchers! 🔭✨

The Moon is turning copper! 🌕🧡

📅Thursday, August 27
🕚11:12 PM

Earth’s shadow will cover an incredible 96% of the Moon, giving it that dramatic, coppery-red “almost Blood Moon” glow. While it won’t quite reach totality, this deep partial eclipse promises to be a spectacular sight!

Join us at the George Observatory for Copper Moon: Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse from 9 p.m. to midnight!

Bring a lawn chair and enjoy guided night-sky tours, moon-themed activities, and live eclipse viewing under the dark skies of Brazos Bend State Park. 🔭🌌

🎟️ Space is limited, so grab your tickets online in advance!

Event is weather permitting.

And because this will be the last near-total lunar eclipse visible for nearly three years, it's one lunar show you won’t want to miss.

Are you ready for the Perseid Meteor Shower? ☄🤩

It's fast approaching, and here's what you need to know for an optimal viewing experience. See less

Move over, Fashion Week. The Solar System has its own runway show this August. 🪐✨

Whether you're heading out for an evening walk or accidentally staying up way too late, there's a planet out to strut its stuff!

🌟 Venus is stealing the show in the west after sunset. It's so bright that the only thing in the night sky that outshines it is the Moon.

🪐 Saturn is steady climbing higher in the sky before dawn, and by the end of August, it'll be rising around 9:30 PM, making it much easier to catch in the late evening.

🔴 Mars is hanging out low in the eastern morning twilight, greeting the earliest risers with its signature rusty glow.

♃ Jupiter is fashionably late this month. After passing behind the Sun at the end of July, it's difficult to spot at first. Keep an eye on the eastern morning twilight near the end of August though, and you'll see the giant of the planets making its comeback.

Which one are you hoping to spot first? 👀🔭

Thank you for the overwhelming support for Music & Meteors! ❤️

Our August event is officially sold out! 🤯✨

If you missed out, don't worry—keep an eye out for tickets to our next Music & Meteors event during the Geminid Meteor Shower this December. 📆

We can't wait to see you under the stars!
