Go Look
Up.
Astronomy, told by three astronomers. A running log of what we point telescopes at, what we learn, and what we still haven't figured out.
§ 01·The Mission
Why we
do this.
The night sky belongs to everyone, but most people have never looked at Saturn's rings through a telescope, or thought about the fact that a star's light can take centuries to arrive. Once you do, something shifts. The sky starts to feel a little different, and so does your place in it.
“We spend our days working on questions nobody has answered yet. Go Look Up is how we share some of that work with everyone who isn't paid to think about it.”
M. Bagchi · F. Thiel · P. Nozari
§ 02·The Work
How that
actually looks.

DIGITAL · @GO_LOOKUPSocial-media dispatches
Astronomy across our social media platforms. Photos we love, answers to the questions people keep asking us, and the occasional reel when we feel like pushing back on a myth.

Science communication
