Hey guys! I feel like this is a good place to ask this and socialize!
So, for context, I'm a planetarium operator and I'm tasked with writing a new sky-show!! If you guys could tell me your favourite constellations or space facts OR ask me some questions about outer-space it would really help me out with not only ideas but things people might be interested in!!!!

Welcome, welcome! I'm sure I have a few random space facts kicking around in my head but all of them escape me right now because I just woke up...xD

Welcome!
Ooh, space is pretty cool! • The black hole at the center of our galaxy is between the constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpius. • Polaris hasn’t always been our pole star and other planets have different pole stars than we do. • One day far into the future, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide. But that will be long after we’re gone. • Mars’s moon Phobos is in an unstable orbit and will crash into the planet’s surface or disintegrate into a ring system eventually.
I also like dwarf planets a lot, but they’re probably not going to show up because of the lack of light they reflect, plus their small size.

My mind at once jumped to facts about eclipses, so I'm not sure that'll help. XD

Fun fact: According to scientist calculations; it could be possible for it to be raining diamonds on Saturn and Jupiter

All of these I'll prolly use in my show for 8th graders!!!! Thanks! The kids will love it

My mind at once jumped to facts about eclipses, so I'm not sure that'll help. XD Oooo, whats the fact?Penumbra and umbra are just fun to say. Well ... mind just went blank ... But here goes nothing anyway. The decay of a star goes from Red to Blue and from Cold to Hot. There is 100,000 light years across a galaxy. That's 6 trillion x 100. (Because 1 light year equals 6 trillion.) The brighter a star, the bigger the star. The Sun is actually on the dim side of the scale and is pretty small. Black hole is the last phase of a dying star. (So the Sun will end up as a black hole, but that's ... very far away, I don't know the dates.) The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus) are called Jovian planets. Jovian is named after Jove, the Roman God of the sky. Earth is the largest of the Terrestrial planets. Compared to the Jovian planets, it's the size of a marble while Jupiter is a soccer ball. Compared to the size of a size of the Sun (every large thing is just soccer ball sized at this point), the Earth is a spec of dirt. Compared to the rest of the stars in the universe, the Earth is ... non existent, but the sun is the size of a pea while the largest star is a soccer ball. The sun compared to the giant stars in the universe is the size of a pixel on a screen (compared to a soccer ball). The dark grey or black spots on the moon are called Maria. This is Latin for 'Sea'. The umbra in an eclipse is the darkest part, while the penumbra is the lighter edges.

I'm having another minor anxiety attack This isn't fun
Also; just a correction, Mint: Our sun does not possess enough mass to become a black hole. It's too small! It's a lot more likely that it will become a white dwarf.
