Here are possible orbits of YR4 as they approach Earth on Dec 22, 2032. You can see that the big clump of orbits miss Earth, but some do hit Earth. Latest impact probability holding steady at about 2%.

Lunar Occultation of Mars tonight! If it's clear around 9:15 pm (in NYC) and you look at the lower left part of the moon, you'll see Mars sneak behind the moon for a little more than an hour. Simulated view made with @OpenSpaceProj

Are you curious about the eclipses for the next twenty years? Afraid of the weather reports for this one? Look no further than this @AMNH video made in collaboration with @least_evens @DesirDeion @OpenSpaceProj and me. Total solar eclipses through 2043. m.youtube.com/watch?v=MySb6Y…

One day, there might be some eclipse chasers on the moon looking for the best views of Earth in shadow. Until then, we'll just have to imagine the sight. Here's one from Moretus Crater near the south pole of the moon. Simulated with @OpenSpaceProj .

A little explainer video for the April 8th total solar eclipse from @least_evens @DesirDeion myself and the communications team at @AMNH Shoutout to @OpenSpaceProj for being our go to visualization software package.

What can eclipse chasers expect to see on April 8 when the Moon aligns with the Sun for a total solar eclipse? Museum Astronomer Jackie Faherty explains what you’ll see, why it happens, & whether Earth is the only planet to encounter this cosmic event: bit.ly/3PdsdD2

🥜! While preparing this overview of the #Peregrine Mission One - Lunar Payload, we learned of the 'anomaly' (and eventually the loss of propellent.) This was looking like an awesome mission. Sorry to hear @astrobotic and co. Anyway, here's the mission plan/trajectory.

Yes - Geminids should be good tonight. Here's a simulated view showing the asteroid responsible, 3200 Phaethon, along with a few thousand of its companions in the Apollo Asteroid Group. #lookup #astro

Excited to be heading to @AMNH, for @cszucker & my 1st official data-driven "live" planetarium show, on 12/12 at 7, using some @glueviz and @WWTelescope, with @jfaherty and Brian Abbott. Micah Acinapura will "fly" for us in @OpenSpaceProj. Join us? amnh.org/calendar/mapping-mi…
