Shedd Aquarium SUE the T. rex 🦖 👀

☀️ It just dawned on us! (Get it, get it??)

If you look east—about 30 minutes before sunrise on 10/23—you might be able to spot Mercury and a thin waning crescent Moon in the sky. ✨

🕷 When the behind-the-scenes of our spooky spider + #DarkMatter + cosmic web animation is so terrifying, it’s actually adorable. 🥰

Happening soon! ⭐️ Adler Planetarium President and CEO Michelle Larson, PhD will be a panelist tonight at 7pm.

An important question for your Monday afternoon. ⬇️

Does the first image ever taken of Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy) look more like a donut or a plate of spaghetti. 😅

Hey Taurus fans! Tonight, the waning gibbous #Moon will be among the stars of #TaurusTheBull . 🌖 If you've got clear skies, you also might be able to see Mars or the Pleiades cluster.

⭐️ When looking up always remember—stars twinkle, planets don't!

🕷️ If you're afraid of spiders, this nebula might not be for you. 😉

Check out this image of the Tarantula Nebula! 🕸It's a star-forming region, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy about 161,000 light years away.

'Can you believe [ #DarkMatter is] 14 billion years old, it looks great!'

'You're an etherial being doomed to roam the netherworld consumed by your regrets until the end of time'

What's the name of tonight's full Moon? 🌕

Hunter knows...LOL
