Things were rockin' and rollin' at APO last night! We felt a 5.5 magnitude earthquake centered south of Carlsbad - check the telescope telemetry data that shows the movement! Photo courtesy of @ajlemma 🤩

We caught the Starliner coming in for a landing at White Sands using our all-sky camera! It's the streak in the southwest corner (lower right) of each frame. Thanks for sharing these @ajlemma !
A rare sighting of all of our amazing 3.5m observing specialists in one place! Thanks to everyone for being there for the exciting training session on APOLLO operations. Pew pew!!! 💚
We had a great eyepiece viewing session for the ARC Board and SDSS AC meeting attendees! Thanks to @ARedheadOfVenus and @ajlemma for the wonderful sky tour!
Aurora spotted at @ApachePointObs last night! The oxygen red aurora is seen across the north and east and the higher altitude nitrogen blue aurora is seen as pillars in the north.

Congratulations to our own Observing Specialist and @nmsuastro grad student David DeColibus on publishing this paper about Uranus' strange moon Miranda, enabled by TripleSpec on the APO 3.5m. NASA should send a flagship mission to go study it! Oh wait... arxiv.org/abs/2204.10832
Fun fact!
Did you know there is an astroid named after #NMSU? It is called Asteroid NEMSU!
Check out this GIF of the asteroid zooming across the sky taken with the 1-meter at @ApachePointObs!
