THIS NEW HUBBLE IMAGE LOOKS LIKE A GALACTIC PORTAL!!! 🌌

Tried to spot comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) this morning under dark, clear skies. Couldn't see it with binoculars so I'm thinking maybe it isn't as bright as some reports suggest. I'll keep trying over the next few days and hopefully get some shots of it. #Astronomy

The #AstronomyWeather for my local patch, for August 2025: Clear sky: 10 nights Partly cloudy sky: 7 nights Overcast sky: 14 nights August was all about the #Perseid meteor shower. Some lucky clear nights around the peak allowed me to capture some great #Perseids. #AstroWeather #Astrophotography

A relaxing and peaceful timeline cleanser for you - 8-hour timelapse* video taken from North Yorkshire overnight. *Not actually 8 hours long, rather the equipment real-time 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography youtu.be/J4xc9EJLxYc

A star trails shot from last night, covering over 8 hours of star movement. Looking south. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is now around magnitude 7.0. Visible as a blurry fuzz in binoculars roughly midway between the constellations of Gemini and Ursa Major. 🔭 🧪

🌔 Every day, Earth is bombarded by tiny asteroids, most too small to even be detected. But what if we could study those impacting the Moon? ESA's NELIOTA-III #HorizonEurope project closely monitors Moon impact flashes and just released its first observations. www.esa.int/Space_Safety...

"I let my principles get in the way of things. I punched a bloke in the face once for saying Hawk the Slayer was rubbish." Channel 4 aired the first episode of 'Spaced' on this day in 1999.

Comet C/2025 R2 (SWAN), discovered Sept 12 by SOHO/SWAN, is brightening with a 2.5° tail. Best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, but may be visible from northern skies near Mars after sunset. #Comet #Astronomy #NightSky #Skywatching apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap25091... 🧪🔭☄️

#MilkyWay from North #Oxfordshire, taken mid-August. 50x25sec ISO-1600 f/4.5. #Canon1100D + #Canon 10-18mm lens, stacked using #Sequator making use of the freeze foreground tool. The light pollution removal also helped to bring out lots more Milky Way detail

Two hours of star trails on the night of 31 August 2025, looking south towards the constellations of Aquarius, Capricornus, Aquila and Scutum. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space

Life on Mars? 'Leopard-spot' rocks could be biggest clue yet. Unusual rocks discovered on Mars contain the most tantalising evidence yet of potential past life on the Red Planet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #Astronomy #Space

25 minutes of last night's #LunarEclipse condensed into 12 sec. Canon 1100D + Sigma 300mm zoom lens, static tripod. I centred/cropped the 127 images & turned them into a video using PIPP. Images are straight off the camera, no processing. #Oxfordshire, UK #TotalLunareclipse

Partial Lunar Eclipse. 1938UT 7 September 2025. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

#LunarEclipse from North #Oxfordshire. I missed totality but the #Moon popped out from behind the cloud bank so I got some photos of most of the second half :) #Eclipse #LunarEclipse2025

Another 75 minutes on the Horsehead and Flame Nebulae in Orion this morning. Captured by the Dwarf3 in EQ mode to get a wide landscape view. Cropped here to portrait view for phone users! #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social 1/2

Thank you Congressman Jamie Raskin from all decent people in the UK. Good job! 😀

Did a short video of the airglow I caught on the night of 31 August to 1 September 2025: #Astronomy #Astrophotography youtu.be/LKNWxOxIsA8

A timelapse looking south towards the Milky Way last night. What's more interesting though is the strong airglow on display, taking the form of arcing green bands crossing the sky. Been a while since I've caught that from North Yorkshire. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Space #StormHour

The astronomy highlights for September 2025, a thread: There is a total lunar eclipse this month, albeit not ideally placed from the UK. There is also a lunar occultation of Venus in the daytime sky. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Stargazing

We are awaiting the arrival of a CME from the Sun tonight based on what the majority of models are saying (HUXt is an outlier with an arrival just after 16 UTC tomorrow). The Met Office's model goes for an arrival at 20 UTC (21 BST) with a chance of G2/G3 geomagnetic storm.

The minor Aurigids meteor shower peaks from the night of 31 August into 1 September. You could see one or two meteors an hour from a dark location. The shower is best seen in the early hours of the morning of 1 September. #Aurigids #Astronomy

How does lava sound when it comes to the surface of the Earth? Listen to a lava flow oozing out of its effusive vent high on the southwestern side of #Etna, 28 August 2025. That day no visits by tourists were allowed on the site, which permitted this (relatively) clean recording

Bob Lunsford's Weekly Meteor Activity Outlook for August 30-September 5, 2025, is online! If you want to check which meteor showers are active this week, do not hesitate to have a look: www.imo.net/meteor-activ...

Comet Hale-Bopp back in 1997. Taken with ye olde film camera. You can just about see the blue gas tail.

Got another two targets from the Messier catalogue ticked off last night, thanks to some clear skies. I observed M22 and M75. Only 13 more objects to go 😀 #Astronomy

My #Perseids photography summary for 2025: In nine nights of Perseid meteor shower observing this year, I took 19,317 shots and captured a grand total of 53 #Perseid meteors. A capture rate of 0.27%. That's about half the rate from 2024. 🧵 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #PerseidMeteorShower

I caught this #Perseid meteor in Aquila on 15 August 2025. It just about stayed in the frame of my camera 😀 #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

The #AstronomyWeather for my local patch - results for July 2025: Clear sky: 7 nights Partly cloudy sky: 13 nights Overcast sky: 11 nights July was all about noctilucent clouds, with a bright meteor thrown in for good measure! 😀 #AstroWeather #Astrophotography #Space

A #Perseid meteor captured on 13 August 2025 at 22.45 UT in Draco. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

Once again - comet 3I/ATLAS is NOT alien technology. Stop even mentioning the suggestion that it could be. It's always "Here's the science but there is this other idea. Stay tuned." Just stop this ridiculousness. #Astronomy

A nice line-up of planets with the very thin crescent Moon early tomorrow morning, 22 August. #Astronomy #Space

Here's a #Perseid meteor doing its best to defy the bright Moon next to it on the morning of 13 August 2025. Even in the bright moonlight a bit of colour can be seen in the meteor trail. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

Another bright and colourful #Perseid meteor from the peak night - this one from early in the evening and caught through a lucky gap in the cloud. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

A stunning eruption of filament plasma from the Sun this morning! This size of event can cause strong aurora activity if directed towards Earth, but alas – this one was not. #spaceweather

Caught this nice #Perseid just above a rooftop on the peak night of 12-13 August 2025, at 01.09 UT. It has a nice burst at the end of the trail. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

The constellation of Draco seemed to attract the good meteors during the peak of the #Perseids. Here's another nice #Perseid ending its journey amongst the four stars forming the head of Draco, the dragon. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

One to see if you happen to be up very early tomorrow morning. #Astronomy #Space

I caught this nice #Perseid meteor between Draco and Hercules on the night of the peak on 12-13 August 2025. I caught it visually too and it was one of the best of the night. #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Perseids #PerseidMeteorShower

Take a look at this for #NeutronStarWeek There's a system that features a neutron star + pulsar. They orbit a common centre of mass. Einstein's General Relativity (GR) tells us that they should inspiral and radiate gravitational waves. GR prediction is red line. Blue data points are data! 📸 MPIfR

Video of a bright #Perseid meteor in the constellation of Draco on 13 August 2025 at 01:08 UT. The constellations of Cygnus and Lyra are to the left of the meteor. It left a bright green train behind that lasted a few seconds. #Astronomy #Perseids #Astrophotography #PerseidsMeteorShower

A nice #meteor I caught last night, 14 August. Looks like a random, sporadic one. It lines up with the antihelion - a collective source of weakly active showers opposite the Sun's position in the sky. #Astronomy #Astrophotography

If you haven't had enough of meteors this week, then note that the peak of the minor Kappa Cygnids meteor shower is on the 16th to 17th August. The shower isn't as prolific as the Perseids though - you'll only see one or two per hour from a dark site. #Astronomy #MeteorShower
