Astropia is a space-curious channel that reposts NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, explanation and all, through a bot it got in August 2026. Launches get the watch-party treatment: in October 2026 it posted the crew list and a quick-stats explainer for a SpaceX crew mission. In between come night-sky posts, Premier League reactions and good-night messages to followers it calls Aliens. Most posts are in English, with some Amharic in the mix.

    Chasing the Moon's shadow

    In mid-August the channel got a bot that forwards NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day along with its explanation. Eclipses became a running theme into early September, from an eclipse pair to a NASA research aircraft chasing the Moon's shadow off Iceland.

    Hello, 2019

    Around Ethiopian New Year the channel wished its followers a happy 2019. It also posted encouragement for grade 12 students who did not land their dream university, and teased a giveaway for when it reaches 300.

    Liftoff watch party

    On 1 October the channel followed a SpaceX crew launch live, sharing a livestream link, the four-person crew and a '2hrs to go' heads-up. It then broke the flight down in quick stats, from roughly 28,000 km/h orbital speed to 3G at liftoff.

    Planet X and a mooning moon

    In late October the channel fired back a run of playful replies to followers, including one claiming 129 years on planet X, and noted it was growing fast. The sky posts kept coming, from a half-moon to a moon that was simply 'mooning'.
