Ever noticed how stars seem to move across the sky? Check out this long-exposure 📷 from Kitt Peak National Observatory! Far from the celestial pole, the star trails form long circles, but near the North Pole, stars like Polaris barely move. Can you spot the North Star?📷:KPNO/NOIRLab/NSF/AURA

Absolutely worth a 1TB SD card, a new Schmidt Cassegrain telescope and a fifteen hour drive each way to Texas! #Eclipse2024

Today for #GlobalAstronomyMonth we want to highlight the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope 🔭! Located at the U.S. National Science Foundation Cerro Tololo, Chile, this telescope was commissioned in 1974. It is a near twin of the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory 🧵⬇️

🌘 Such a great Eclipse Day! 🌒 Check out these photos from our event at Kitt Peak National Observatory during the partial eclipse. The sky put on a show for us today ✨
