If you haven't taken part in one of these events before, there will be a prompt for each day between the 25th to 31st July. People can use those to inspire any Penguin focused creations they want. Tag them #penguinweek here or on bluesky to share. There'll also be an AO3 collection for writers.

NASA HAS RELEASED OVER 12,000 IMAGES OF THE ARTEMIS II MISSION. Unbelievable perspectives captured by the Crew! The aurora on the eclipse is incredible.

Hubble's view of the Trifid Nebula reveals a nearly light-year-long jet from a dust pillar. Radiation slowly erodes the pillar, potentially uncovering its hidden stellar source in about 20,000 years. Credit: NASA/ APOD

#Astrophotography results from last night. NGC 5907 (and tiny companion dwarf galaxy PGC 54419) with supernova SN2026kid. Only two hours of integration time, so a bit noisy but considering the full moon and conditions I'll take it. :) Thanks to @rami.spaceaustralia.com for cluing me! 🔭🧪

So while I was waiting for NGC 5907 to clear a building I got 1 hour of data on the Hickson 44 galaxy group. Even with the target directly overhead and me at 3000m altitude, I didn't expect only an hour of data to be usable, but here we are! Annotated version as well. #Astrophotography 🔭

Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has a surface hidden by a thick atmosphere. Infrared imaging, compiled from 13 years of Cassini data, penetrates the haze to reveal its features. Credit: NASA/ APOD

Ahoy ahoy! A second week's event celebrating the Gentleman of Crime, the Penguin, is coming! Join us from 25th - 31st July sharing entries for a variety of prompts (to be released soon). We had an amazing turnout for our inaugural event last year and 2026 should be fun. So watch the tag #penguinweek

I mean, as a way to kill time galaxy clusters are pretty cool. Completely full moon not ideal for any of this but I'm just happy to be imaging

I. Am. A. GENIUS!!!!

Even tho the weather did not cooperate, getting my astro-imaging gear ready got me in the mood for #astrophotography , so here's the absurdly beautiful Bode's Galaxy from the archives, right next door at only 12 million light years away or so! 📷🔭

Moon, Venus, and the Pleiades: Captured in stunning alignment. While only about six Pleiades stars are typically visible to the eye, astronomers recently discovered thousands more members in this iconic M45 clus… Credit: Gianni Tumino Text: Keighley Rockcliffe (NASA GSFC, UMBC CSST, CRESST II)

Cometary Globules like CG 30 are dense clouds of gas and dust, sculpted by UV radiation and supernova remnants. Within their bright-rimmed heads, cores are collapsing to form new low-mass stars. CG 30 itself shows jets from an actively forming star. Credit: Marcelo Salemme

Once again reminding people that body size is not something you need to list while criticizing elected officials, as it is not an indication of morality, thank you

Within Carina Nebula's "Mystic Mountain," an unseen star is destroying light-year-long gas and dust pillars by ejecting energetic Herbig-Haro jets. These stellar nurseries will fully evaporate in a few million years. Credit: NASA/ APOD

The distorted, fluid Sun at the horizon is a mirage, not melting. Atmospheric refraction, caused by varying air layers bending light, creates these warped images of the reddened solar disk. Credit: Lorenzo Busilacchi

A 2-day-old crescent Moon meets the Pleiades. Its dark side glows with earthshine—sunlight reflected from Earth, creating the 'old moon in the young moon's arms' effect, bright in spring. Credit: Giorgia Hofer

I'm into it.

Large Scale Structure of the Universe: This is a map of the universe. The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) at Kitt Peak National Observatory, Arizona, has finished its five-year survey. It observed more than 47 million galaxies and quasars and created a 3D map centere… Credit: NASA/ APOD

you just lost my respect my guy #antiai

Cinnamedic art probably the first one of this year #tf2 #sanrio

🚨 Voyager 1 now only has two instruments still operating • One that listens to plasma waves and one that measures magnetic fields — the rest have been turned off to conserve power • It's been flying through space for almost 49 years

🚨NASA’s Curiosity rover just detected a record 21 organic molecules in a single rock sample from ancient Mars! • Pulled from “Mary Anning 3” in an old lakebed on Mount Sharp • 7 of the molecules identified on Mars for the first time

Three Sky Arches over Snowy Alps: Why are there three arches across the sky instead of two? Last month, after being dropped off by a helicopter at a high mountain peak in the Alps near the Swiss Italian border, an adventurous astrophotographer expected two arches of our Milky Way… Credit: Angel Fux

NEW: Astronaut Reid Wiseman shares a video of ‘Earthset’ that was taken with his iPhone “This is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye…” Wiseman said. This has to be the greatest iPhone video of all time.

🚨 Bill Nye and hundreds of Planetary Society members are heading to DC next week to protest the White House's proposal to slash NASA's science budget • 47% cut to NASA science funding — 23% cut to the agency's overall budget • Would be the largest single-year budget cut in NASA's history

This iconic 1984 photo is often called one of the most terrifying space images ever. During STS-41-B on Space Shuttle Challenger, astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person to perform an untethered spacewalk. Image credit: NASA (Bruce McCandless II during STS-41-B)

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

Good god it gets funnier!

What if the curse was to be human? 🥀✨🐾

NASA has given approval to begin implementing its project to support ESA's Rosalind Franklin mission. Scheduled to launch in 2028, this Mars rover will be the first to search for signs of past or present life under the Red Planet’s surface.

I'm gonna throw these idiots down the stairs, godbless ☕Support me on Ko-Fi!☕

The Long Wispy Tail of Comet R3 (PanSTARRS): Why does Comet R3 (PanSTARRS) have a wispy tail? The newest bright member of the inner Solar System, Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) is already extending an impressive stream of glowing gas. This tail starts from an unseen central nucl… Credit: Haythem Hamdi
