Keep Looking Up

Space Science Outreach Director Paul Lewis reminded us all that even if we were spending more time at home, it’s always a good idea to look up. Throughout the year he has shared his astrophotography via the department’s social media accounts, including the image above from early April showing the conjunction of Venus with the Pleiades. Lewis wasn’t the only UT astronomer to share his work. Below is a photo of Comet NEOWISE taken by Instructor/Astronomy Program Coordinator Sean Lindsay from Foothills Parkway (US 129) on July 9.
