Perseid Meteor Shower PEAKS TONIGHT! There should be quite a few shooting stars that are quite easy to spot, and it will be even if you can find a nice dark spot! Stay safe team, and clear skies to you all! youtu.be/J9b8cdsBZIs #perseids2025 #perseidmeteorshower

Introducing...your sneak peek at the cosmos captured by NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory! Can you guess these regions of sky? This is just a small peek...join us at 11am US EDT for your full First Look at how Rubin will #CaptureTheCosmos! 🔭🧪 #RubinFirstLook ls.st/rubin-first-look-livestream

🚨 SAVE THE DATE: The world's First Look at images from NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory is coming June 23, 2025! 🔭🧪 Get ready for a preview of how Rubin will soon #CaptureTheCosmos in its decade-long survey 🌌 More details soon—stay up to date at rubinobservatory.org/news/rubin-first-look

Do you love space and hot drinks? Or know someone who does? Well, we're selling some merch for the first time, including mugs! The art is all done by my friend Elena, and it's AMAZING! Check out all the products here (they ship to most places!): chris-pattison-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/...

Does anyone know how fast the Earth moves relative to JWST? Specifically, in theory, could JWST track Earth, or would it be moving too fast? Thanks!

Astrophysicist, YouTuber and UK #HumanOfEuclid @cosmochris.bsky.social has made a great explainer video talking through today’s new Deep Field images. Check it out here. ⬇️

🌌 FRIDAY SPACE🌌 Hubble hits a cosmic bullseye!🎯 This enormous galaxy is called LEDA 1313424. It features a stunning 9 star-filled rings and an arrow through the centre! Beautiful! 🤩 Read more: buff.ly/4hsXm1t

🌌 Monday Space!⭐ A quasar imaged by Hubble!🤩 In the centre we have a supermassive black hole with a bright disk around it, and a newborn jet blasting out from it! Read more: https://buff.ly/42tNek9

🌌Friday Space! 🌌 A bright double star cluster inside the Large Magellanic Cloud (a satellite dwarf galaxy just outside the Milky Way). This is NGC 1850, and it's contents include a black hole that has a mass 11 times larger than our Sun! Also, it's beautiful! 😍

🌌 Monday Space⭐ Hubble image of a galaxy with a bright heart! Check out the beautiful dust lanes and stunning structure in the unbarred spiral galaxy NGC 5033. This is a wonderful image of an amazing galaxy! Read moreL https://buff.ly/4aAcasb

🌌 Friday Space⭐ This is one of my favourite images from JWST😍 This is NGC 602, and I adore the colours and textures we can see in this JWST image! This is a young star cluster in the outskirt of the Small Magellanic Cloud, just 200,000 ly away. Read more: https://buff.ly/3PSqZNo

How’s this for a Monday morning? 🤩 A team of #HumansOfEuclid discovered an Einstein ring 💍 in nearby galaxy, NGC 6505. Only possible with the unique capabilities of this wonderful telescope!

If you want to know all about this image, here's a handy video!: youtu.be/BeHzkHkN424

🌌 BRAND NEW SPACE MONDAY🔭 The Euclid Space Telescope has released an image of a nearby galaxy called NGC 6505. In it, they discovered an Einstein Ring, the first one ever seen in an NGC object! Even more exciting because I work with a lot of the people involved in this discovery! 🤩 Stunning 🌌 😍

Scientists with #ESAEuclid have discovered an Einstein Ring gravitational lens in a nearby NGC galaxies - something very rare, unexpected, and beautiful. NGC 6505 bends space, turning the image of a background galaxy into a ring. Read more: www.euclid-ec.org/einstein-rin... 🔭 #space #science

🌌 Friday Space⭐ This is a beautiful galaxy full of pulsing cepheid variable stars, and home to a supernova seen in 2011. This is NGC 3972 imaged by Hubble, and it's incrediblly pretty😍 Read more:

Tonight we're hosting Stargazing at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard! I'll try and live-post as many of the awesome space-themed activities we have on offer as I can! Follow along to see them all! #PompeyStargazing #Stargazing

🌌 Monday Space⭐ Start your week by checking out these beautiful, shimmering cosmic curtains! This is a "light-echo", glowing gas that was heated up by a supernova called Cassiopeia A. Read more:

🌌 Friday Space! ⭐ This is a Hubble image of the dusty Orion Nebula. It's just 1,300 light-years away, and the nebula is visible with the naked eye, below the three stars in Orion's belt. It won't look like this though, we need Hubble to see it so clearly! Read more: https://buff.ly/3PNldN7

The first Monday Space picture 😍 This is the Leo P dwarf galaxy, imaged by JWST! It's a star-forming galaxy, 5 million light years away, part of which is shown in blue in the lower right! The colours, structures and shapes here are stunning, I love it! Read more here: https://buff.ly/40YbVEt

I want to start using BlueSky more! To this end, I'll be using this channel to post space pictures I love or that are new every week, on Mondays and Fridays! Start and end you week with a beautiful view of the cosmos! Follow along to see the best pictures of the universe that I can find! 🔭 🌌 🤩
