Remember when we used to pin up pictures and posters on our bedroom walls as kids? Singers, bands, actors, etc. I used to have all the 80s pop icons up. But there, among all of our Earthly idols — there was this poster. This provocative image was on so many of our walls when many of us were kids

Insane auroras tonight up here in Beaver, wow!

Triton, moon of Neptune, seen in front of Neptune from the receding Voyager 2 in 1989.

Here is a render previewing the kind of photography we should see during the upcoming Artemis II mission as the spacecraft loops around the far side of the Moon. Since it is meant to imitate photography no stars are shown.

Internet hivemind - does anybody know where I might find the trajectory data for the reentry of the #Artemis 1 mission? I'm looking to make a kind of telemetry overlay for a remastered version of the reentry video. A good predicted trajectory should also suffice

Later this month there's a 5th anniversary of Perseverance rover landing on Mars, so it's a perfect time to do a little throwback series to my Mars rovers artworks, starting with the good old MER-A Spirit, which explored Mars for 1538 days and traveled over 7,5 km.

That flow tho.

This is very cool and I strongly support this effort (you may note I almost always tag the astrofeed when I post about astronomy). They need (small) donations, too! opencollective.com/the-astrosky...

Another view of this impressive event which is not yet over - we are still above the M5 threshold over one hour in with multiple peaks over X-class. The largest flare was an X8.1 - one of the strongest flare intensities in 20 years and the strongest of this solar cycle.

An impressive X8 solar flare just fired off from AR 4366. This is one of the strongest events of this solar cycle! Monitoring now for any associated CME. Usually these big flares have some sort of eruption with them, so even if it's small, something may have launched off...

Stunning view of Denali seemingly eye-level with our cruising altitude flying from Anchorage to Fairbanks this morning. It’s rare to have a clear view of the summit like this.

I cant wait to see what creative projects people looking back on Artemis will make. Apollo certainly gave us some gems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8hz...

In Sept. of 2023, I witnessed what was in my eyes the perfect storm. This intricately-structured, highly-electric supercell danced under a sky full of stars, looming over the landscape like the Mind Flayer while producing multiple funnels, bursts of sprites, and a barrage of lightning. #Photography

You may have seen pictures, but have you ever seen video of a gigantic jet #TLE from space? Astronaut Jeanette Epps captured this incredible sequence on July 20th, 2024 for the DTU/@science.esa.int Thor-Davis experiment. 🧪🔭 youtu.be/xN2J7_rOBJY Credit: ESA/NASA/J. Epps Processing: Simeon Schmauß

Hello folks – it's been a while 👋 Just popped in to show off my new #JWST NIRCam image of a young protostellar jet in Cassiopeia, HH288, aka The Dragon Jet 🐉 If you like what you see, there's much more info & a movie over on Mastodon: mastodon.social/@markmccaugh... and Flickr: flic.kr/p/2rTPMvp

A few months ago they let me walk around the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex at night. Don't know if it was the desert rain, watching skyscraper-sized antennas swivel to catch signals from beyond Saturn, or just my fillings buzzing from the radio signals, but I had goosebumps all night.

The 7K-T flew thirty times, including the first Interkosmos flights. It was also fitted with solar panels again for special missions: once for the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, once for the ASTP test flight, and twice for standalone science missions that did not dock to a Salyut.

Still on Mars with Curiosity. Still doing awesome science. Love this recent "MAHLI after dark" image we acquired last month of our drill in the super cool boxwork region: science.nasa.gov/resource/cur...

Fantastic to see this out! I for one, and I’m not alone here, want to also acknowledge a big thanks to @emily.space for a lot of the AstroSky drive and coordination (along with co-authors). This is community re-building! Astro-community: share this in your team’s slack channels / invite them! 🔭

It's day 12 or so of programming a filter to reduce the banding noise in the Proba-3 #ASPIICS images. The ASPIICS images are amazing, but plagued by a lot of uncorrected bias and FPN noise. Designing the algorithm to be robust against picking up coronal features was a challenge. #heliophysics

20 Jan 2026 G4 Aurora. Cape Tourville, Tasmania. The aurora was very colourful in camera, with a mix of reds, greens, purples and blues. Not very colourful naked eye, though.

While waiting for the next @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive here's a look back at my favorite benthic ctenophores they've filmed. Dive 366 Lihou Reef, Coral Sea Marine park on east coast of Australia, Queensland Plateau (sound is a tad loud) #VisioningCoralSea #MarineLife
