Who else saw it as a huge BAT on the first sight. Comment 👉
Before the “metaverse” became a buzzword, NASA had already built it in 1989.
VIEW was a full VR setup with body tracking and 3D gloves, decades ahead of its time.

Word of the Day: Conjunction

When two planets (or the Moon & Sun) line up in the sky, it’s basically a celestial coffee date.
They look close, but it’s just perspective.
Cosmic long-distance relationship vibes 😍
In the vast universe of life, a father is the North Star. Always there to guide us home. Happy fathers day. #fathersday #nepal #kantipurplanetarium
Thanks for pointing that out! You’re right that a new moon isn’t visible to the naked eye. Just to spark curiosity. We appreciate you dropped your comment.
🌑 Heads up, stargazers! A rare Black Moon will rise on Aug 22–23, 2025.
Why the name? It’s the second new moon in a single month, a rare celestial treat.
🔭 Save the date and share with your fellow space lovers!
Midnight drills today, Moon missions tomorrow. 🌌 #ArtemisII

🌙 Selenography = Moon cartography
→ The science of mapping the Moon’s craters, mountains, and seas.

🗺️ Basically… Google Maps, but for the Moon. 😃
