This July, skywatchers across Southern California are in for a remarkable sight as the crescent Moon and Mars converge in a rare astronomical pairing. According to National Geographic’s July 2025 night sky guide, this event is part of a particularly rich calendar of cosmic activity that includes meteor showers, supermoons, and other visible planetary movements. Among these, the Moon–Mars conjunction …

A recent unexpected frost graced high-altitude peaks in Chile, dusting the Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope with a delicate layer of snow. What is it? The 13.4 foot (4.1 meter) telescope has been a major hub for researchers in the Southern Hemisphere using optical and near-infrared astronomy to study the stars. According to NOIRLab, the telescope was initiated in 1987 …
