Since 2018, the NASA Night Sky Network has provided articles featuring the latest stargazing and NASA news to share with your organization's readership. As of October 1, 2025, Night Sky Notes will be suspended until further notice, as cuts and restructuring are part of NASA's Fiscal Year 2026 budget. Download our final article below, and find all existing articles here. 

As always, you can edit these articles to suit your club’s needs. We only ask that you credit Night Sky Network as the author.
