Does astronomy make you smile?
Michelle Risse, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, has offered to be available to help you learn about the night skies, so if you like astronomy, check this out: She has some "mini sky tonight" presentations on her Youtube channel. Maybe we'll get to do some fun stuff at the library in the future, but she says she is also happy to do Zoom room chats with people! Here is her Youtube channel link:

In the meantime, there are always interesting things going on up there in space!
Even now in late April, we're just trailing out of the Lyrid meteor shower, tonight is a good time to see some galaxies, the 27th is the time Venus will shine at its brightest, and you could see a "Lunar X" around 8:45pm on the 29th.

Like apps? There's plenty for astronomy.
Tour the Universe works on both mobile and PC machines, it teaches about the solar system and has a lot of internal links and videos.
I like the Skyview Lite on my mobile device--you can look up at the sky with it and it has an overlay to show you what you are looking at!
And NASA of course has a very informative app.
It also has a NASAselfie app where you can take photos of yourself and your friends, floating out in space in front of major cosmic tourist attractions.
So if you like stuff out in the universe, let us know!
Here's a simple craft and a few things to explore now:

| Comet Atlas |
The Atlas Comet sorta broke up, but the SWAN Comet is swooping in to take its place!

| Comet Swan |
