Green glow discovered on Mars!

"The green glow, or light, is a result of oxygen atoms interacting with the sunlight, researchers noted. It had long been theorized to occur on other planets besides Earth, but it had never been observed until the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) satellite did so earlier this year. The Earth's glow can usually be seen from the International Space Station."

"The next solar eclipse is an annular, or "ring of fire" eclipse that will take place on June 21, 2020. It will be visible from much of Africa, southeast Europe and most of Asia, with a partial eclipse visible in northern Australia."

Darn, if only it was visible here

one day npixelz! They happen throughout the year, its just not that people are in a position to see it every time.

Here's the timetable for those on the "other" continent from us: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2020-june-21

Now the fireball would be cool to see!

[npixelz]

One day, yeah

[Gingerale]

I wish I saw a fireball! I wish I could find a meteorite and actually TOUCH a piece of space!

Talk is of sending people back to the moon. The Chinese rover on the moon found a "goey-gel like" substance on the other side of the moon, it will be interesting to find out what it is.

I can't wait to see what SpaceX comes up with for landing on the moon!

[npixelz]

Sounds intriguing

[Gingerale]

I saw a falling star! Next week is supposed to be double meteor showers!

[npixelz]

Oh nice. Oh doubly nice

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Falling stars are cool to look at but when you think of them as debris pelting our atmosphere it is kind of scary...although the fact that our bioshpere/atmosphere protects us is in itself amazing.
