Did you know a total solar eclipse–like the one captivating the world today–provided the evidence to support Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity over 100 years ago? Diana Kormos-Buchwald, director of @EinsteinPapers, offers more insight in this video:

Special Astro on Tap next week will feature @ZachWeiner of @SMBCComics discussing his new book "A City on Mars" contemplating how realistic space settlements are. And a presentation on the various compositions of planetary objects from Maria Camarca & live music & pub trivia!
Can we settle space; should we settle space; and have we really thought this through? How much do planets differ in composition? Find out at our next Astronomy on Tap on Monday, February 26! Free and open to all with pub trivia, telescopes, and live music! outreach.astro.caltech.edu/a…

Every second, a supernova explodes somewhere in the universe. The Zwicky Transient Facility at @Caltech's Palomar Observatory captures 1000s of them every year. This data is then stored at IPAC's ZTF Science Data System.
