Hellow Twiskies, do you remember in last September we are shocked by the news of the presence of a new mini-moon in the night sky? But do you know, Twiskies, it's not really a moon! So if it's not a moon, what it is? Let's find it out in this post. Source: Space.com The mini-moon first spotted on Earth in September 29, 2024. Have you saw it, Twiskies?

On March 14, The America Association of Variable Star Observers, or AAVSO for short, reported that Betelgeuse had begun to dim since January. but actually, Betelgeuse has been dimming since 2019...
