Hello!
Hope you are well and having a great new year!
As many of you know I get a little bit excited and giddy when I start blabbing about space, I usually get the space bug periodicity around the winter months when the skies are darker and there’s less daylight hours. Anyways I thought I’d make a few pictures about some of the wee bits I’ve learned so far about space and astronomy.
I hope you find them insightful!
Extra fact! The north star’s real name is ‘Polaris’.
Extra fact! In 5 million years our own sun will become a nebula, I am gutted I won’t be around to see it.
Extra fact! From a distance binary stars just look like normal stars, it’s not until you peer through a telescope you can see that it’s actually 2 stars really close together.
Fascinating!
Well I hope you enjoyed my post, as always any feedback is more than welcome!
Take care!

Every October I remember why I studied Astronomy at uni despite being absolutely useless at it :)
