Galaxies on Instagram: "What an amazing capture! A 1.3 foot wide space rock, traveling at 56,000 MPH, collided with the lunar surface on March 17th, 2013, and the explosion could be seen with the naked eye on Earth. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter snapped imagery of the impact area."

The Space Doctor on Instagram: "The creator and the destroyer. The Andromeda and Milky Way galaxies are expected to collide in about 4.5 billion years. Surprisingly the sun becomes a red giant in around the same time. So what's a red giant? When a star is about to die it increases in size, our sun will do the same. This happens before the Andromeda collides with our milky way to form Milkromeda. Is it a kind of backstab done by sun? Or something else. #space"

Museum of Science on Instagram: "Heads up, skywatchers: the Taurid Meteor Shower is active now through December 10! 🔭 With peak nights on November 4–5 and 11–12, this year could bring a rare “fireball swarm”. These would be extra-bright meteors from two overlapping streams, the Northern and Southern Taurids. Just look up from dark skies, and you could catch dazzling fireballs lighting up the night. #Taurids #MeteorShower #Astronomy #SkyWatch #Space"

Cleo Abram on Instagram: "Our solar system is on a collision course. Yep. Here’s what you need to know… These visuals are from the American Museum of Natural History’s incredible show, Encounters in the Milky Way. It’s incredible. Go watch it! #history #sky #space #timelapse #animation"
