Astroscale Japan Inc., a Japanese firm, successfully launched a spacecraft to inspect man-made junk in Earth's orbit. The satellite aims to survey space debris and derelict rocket stages. Additionally, opportunities to view celestial events like Venus and Mars alignment are highlighted this week.
If you're an early rise like me, look in the eastern sky this week! You'll see Venus and Mars hangin' out with each other. H/T: @rtphokie https://t.co/rbUHuBOb2k

If you want to check out the International Space Station make sure you're outside at 5:31 a.m. and look toward the north. You'll see a bright white dot cruising across the morning sky. It will be visible for a quick 2 minutes. https://t.co/PVS7mf77ZD

LOOK UP! If you're up early just before sunrise Tuesday, look to the eastern sky and you may be able to see bright Venus, and Mars just below it. https://t.co/I4YAMiy6nH

Back to work or school in the morning? Look for Venus and Mars to rise together in the east before dawn each morning this week. (via @rtphokie) https://t.co/j0i5mZVqTI
Cool sight this week if you are an early riser...Venus and Mars very close together in the east just before sunrise https://t.co/zHbk4gKMpE
Neat sight to see this week if you're an early riser. Venus and Mars will be within one degree of each other in the east-southeastern sky before sunrise. Between 6:15 and 6:45 would be your best bet to see it. https://t.co/dBrjfSPxBb

We have an opportunity to check out the International Space Station this morning. Head outside at 6:17 a.m. and look toward the west northwest. You'll see a bright white dot cruising across the morning sky. It will be visible for 4 minutes. https://t.co/4Od4GQLozW
