International Observe the Moon Night is an annual event in the fall near a first-quarter Moon. A first-quarter Moon offers excellent viewing opportunities along the terminator (the line between night and day), where shadows enhance the Moon’s cratered landscape. Everyone on Earth is invited to learn about lunar science and exploration, take part in celestial observations, and honor personal and cultural connections to the Moon. This year, IOMN is on Saturday, September 26, here in the United States. For more information, visit NASA's official IOMN website: http://moon.nasa.gov/observe and make sure you share your photos, videos, and artwork with us on social media.

Installation of the solar array wings for the Orion spacecraft that will fly on the agency's Artemis I mission has begun inside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. These will provide the spacecraft's power, propulsion, air, and water. Also, two seed carriers for PH-02 - a plant experiment featuring radishes - bound for the Advanced Plant Habitat on the International Space Station were planted this week. The seeds will fly aboard Northrop Grumman's 14th commercial resupply services mission. Liftoff of the Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled for Sept. 29 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia.

Sponsored by Findlay Toyota of Flagstaff (https://www.findlaytoyotaflagstaff.net) Part 1 | 6:30-7:15 pm: Robert Burnham and his Celestial Handbook Robert Burnham, Jr. compiled one of the most popular astronomy books ever—the three-volume "observing bible," Burnham’s Celestial Handbook—while working at Lowell Observatory in the mid-20th century. However, Burnham’s life was tragic in many ways. In celebration of National Astronomy Day, we will take a look at the complicated man who brought the wonders of space to people around the world. Lowell Observatory Historian Kevin Schindler will host a discussion with journalist Tony Ortega, who in 1998 wrote the defining account of Burnham’s life; Donna Courtney, Burnham’s niece and only surviving relative; and Brian Skiff, renowned sky expert who has worked for nearly 40 years at Lowell Observatory as an observer and research scientist. Part 2 | 7:15-8:00 pm: Celebrate International Observe the Moon Night with live views of the moon from the Giovale Open Deck Observatory (weather permitting). Join Lowell Observatory educators for a tour of the moon's surface and learn about past and future lunar exploration.

Astronomers have detected a planet orbiting a white dwarf star named WD 1856+534 . If confirmed, the discovery shows that some planets could survive the destruction of their sun-like stars. SETI Institute Senior Astronomer Franck Marchis will sit down with Andrew Vanderburg, assistant professor of astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and lead author on the paper published in Nature to talk about this remarkable discovery.

The genesis and origin of life may require a very rare and delicate mixture of certain chemicals. One of those is phosphorus, and trying to figure out how we ever got enough of it in Earth's primordial soup for life to form in the first place has long puzzled scientists. We will also discuss the recent discovery of Phosphine Gas in Venus's Atmosphere Check out Jerry's Stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxgArWbEhZg Visit our Website: http://www.isaacarthur.net Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/IsaacArthur Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1583992725237264/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/IsaacArthur/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Isaac_A_Arthur on Twitter and RT our future content.

Do other planets have seasons like the Earth? What about the rotation of each planet? Is it the same? With the Northern Hemisphere now officially experiencing Fall, join us to see if other planets go through seasonal changes also.

ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano provides words of wisdom to young people on how investing their time wisely today can help build a better tomorrow. In this video, Luca recalls his own childhood and says, the most valuable resource we have as young people is time. He encourages the next generation to continue having fun, but to do so while investing in their own education as they plant the seed for a successful future. Success, Luca says, is not measured by being an astronaut or by being rich, but by committing to projects that give you satisfaction and contribute to a better world. If you choose something you love, and you love what you do, you will never work one day in your life. As an ESA astronaut of Italian nationality, Luca has served two six-month space missions on the International Space Station. During his last mission, known as Beyond, in 2019/2020 he became the third European and first ever Italian in command of the Space Station. Luca continues to work as an astronaut in Europe, inspiring the next generation of explorers, and supporting European efforts to enhance life on Earth and the future of space travel through human and robotic exploration.

The forthcoming Kerbal Space Program update, 1.10 features a major collaboration with the European Space Agency to bring the Rosetta and BepiColombo missions to the game in the form of playable missions and special parts. I sat down to play through the mission while talking to the real Manager of Spacecraft Operations for Bepicolombo - Elsa Montagnon. Obviously because of quarantine rules this had to be an entirely digital collaboration, but she explains a lot of details of how the real spacecraft is managed while I tried to navigate my way through multiple gravity assists to reach the innermost planet. Thanks to Elsa for joining me Discover Kerbal Space Program, and learn about rocket design, dynamics and orbital mechanics while having fun https://www.kerbalspaceprogram.com/ Find out more about BepiColombo at the ESA website http://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/BepiColombo_overview2
