In Egypt, a sarcophagus was opened, which is more than 2500 years old. A total of 59 such sarcophagi were found in the Saqqara necropolis near Giza, and all of them are also going to be opened.

Maybe not this year?

We're in love with this incredible image of Comet Leonard and globular cluster M3.

Astrophotographer Dan Bartlett created this image earlier this month by stacking 139 separate 60 second exposures. Incredible! 

Comet Leonard is currently visible to the naked eye - but only barely, and only for this month! Make sure to check it out before it's gone.
