it's incredible how fast the last 5 years have flown by. Happy anniversary to #Perseverance landing on Mars! 🎂🥳 If you want to relive this incredible moment, look no further than this remastered video of the #EDL by @stim3on.bsky.social @theseaning.bsky.social 🔭🐡🧪🎨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHhy...

Last night’s moderate #SolarFlare likely released more energy than the majority of larger X-class events. Why? Flare classifications are determined by the flare’s *peak* emission. Although last night’s flare capped at an M3 level, it continued releasing energy for over 12 hours!

Ice spires (around 100 metres tall) on Jupiter's moon Callisto. It is thought that these formed from an ancient impact billions of years ago. They are very slowly eroding over time, the ice subliming and dust within the ice accumulating to absorb Sunlight and continue the erosion. #sciart #spaceart

This is what it would look like to fly over the Martian North Pole aboard @esa.int's Mars Express orbiter. This sequence of 117 images was captured by the VMC camera on June 14th, 2019 over the course of 3 hours and is played a 1200x speed. #planetsci Credit: ESA/Simeon Schmauß flic.kr/p/2rQAPdw

Menkib and the California Nebula. After failing to get the whole nebula into the FOV, I tried something different: focusing on the tension between that beast of a star and the nebula. Gear: 130/910 mm APO, ASI 2600MM Pro & SHORGB filters. Total exposure: ~15 hours over 4 nights. #astrophotography

I haven’t posted in a while, so here we go. The Flaming Star Nebula, captured from my backyard. Gear: TS-Optics apo 130/910, ASI 2600mm pro, Antlia narrowband & RGB filters. Exposure: about 48 hours #astrophotography #space #nebula #astronomy
