I was texting with my niece the other day. She didn't know the Partial Solar Eclipse would be visible where she lives. Now looking for Eclipse glasses. Anywhere in the UK will have a view. Weather permitting. 🔭 🧪

Tomorrow at 0635UT (7.35am BST, 2.35am EST) is the time the SpaceX rocket is predicted to impact the Moon. Create a crater it will. Best chance to see it is with a telescope in North and South America. Tricky for Europe in daylight. 🔭 🧪

Calling my #astrophotography chums in the Americas: will you be staying up late tonight with your telescopes trained on the Einstein Crater? Impact: 02:34 EDT; 4 tonnes of Space-X metal (15m x 4m diameter) travelling 5400mph Expected: 50km high plume containing ~1Mkg of debris 😲🔭

"Will I be able to see the crash?" Probably not, but that doesn't mean friends in the Americas shouldn't try (daylight for those in Europe): look to the eastern limb of the Einstein crater. The @eso.org VLT will observe it & NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter is taking before and after images! 🔭🧪🛰️
