FS Tau is a multi-star system made up of FS Tau A (in the centre) and FS Tau B (on the far right) captured here by NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The system is about 2.8 million years old, very young for a star system. Our Sun, by contrast, is about 4.6 billion years old. 🧓

What is your earliest space memory? 🌌 CSA astronaut Joshua Kutryk remembers being amazed by the first images of Neptune when the Voyager 2 probe reached the planet in 1989. And his passion for space has only grown since.

Pink really is your colour, Moon! 💗 Although it won’t actually give off a rose-coloured hue, the Pink Moon, named after spring's first blooms, will shine brightly in the sky. It will reach its peak tonight (April 23) at 7:49pm ET.

Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of admiring a perfect piece of celestial choreography. The next total solar eclipse will sweep across western Canada in 2044. This composite image was generated by pictures taken from the CSA headquarters in Longueuil, QC. 📸: J. Pinchuk, CSA

Great balls of fire ☄️ It’s time for the #Lyrids meteor shower! It is best viewed in the northern hemisphere, where you are likely to see fast and bright meteors. After moonset and before dawn on April 21 into 22, you may see 10 to 15 Lyrids per hour. Credit: NASA/JSC/D. Pettit
