Tonight's the night. 🌌 Venus and Jupiter, the two brightest planets, are about to look closer than they will again until 2028. Step outside ~30 min after sunset and look west. They're impossible to miss...💫

Happy World Ocean Day 🌊 The ocean and the cosmos share something: the deeper we explore, the more mysterious they become. Today we celebrate curiosity, the force that pulls us into the sea and toward the stars 🔭 app.slooh.com/my-pictures/sh…

Our 24/7 telescope network across Chile, the Canaries, and Australia was built for stargazing. Turns out it's also great for tracking what's in orbit. Now partnering with UT Austin and Dr. Moriba Jah on space domain awareness. What's overhead matters! slooh.com/post/what-s-overhe…

Venus-Jupiter countdown: 6 DAYS! Right now they're about 5 degrees apart. Hold three fingers up at arm's length against the evening sky — that's roughly the gap. By Sunday? Basically touching. It's going to be WILD! Go look west after sunset tonight...

One of our students used Slooh to track an actual asteroid for a science competition. She'd never touched a telescope before this project. Real coordinates, real data, real submission to the Minor Planet Center. This is what hands-on access is all about!

Join Slooh's Star Party TOMORROW for a rare lunar double feature, Once in a Full Blue Micromoon, as we gather to celebrate Earth's most distant full moon of 2026, and the second full moon of the month, making it a Blue Moon by the calendar's reckoning🥶 youtube.com/watch?v=3TmhEPxJ…

Venus and Jupiter are inching toward each other every single night and by June 8 they're going to be SO close it's going to look like the sky is glitching😍 Look west after sunset tonight. You'll see two absurdly bright dots. That's them. They're not done yet.

Did you know our Canary Islands observatory is perched at 9,000 feet on the same mountain as the world's largest optical telescope? The skies up there are just absurdly good. And yeah — you can point those telescopes from your couch. We know. We still geek out about it too🔭
