PJ03 Jupiter Images, Exaggerated Color/Contrast. Full resolution at flic.kr/p/2rQ2PNi

And here's my favourite case - growing of Nishinoshima in Japan 📏😊 Images taken by Landsat-8.

#Planet #Jupiter with moon #Europa on January 2. Images taken with #Celestron C9.25 EdgeHD, #Televue 2.5x barlow and #PlayerOne Uranus C camera. Seeing was fair. Right after the last image, we got snow... just in time to close the observatory roof. #astronomy #astrophotography #planets #solarsystem

sunspots 2024-2025 Taken by Patricio Leon on January 2, 2026 @ Santiago, Chile The image shows the evolution of sunspots in consecutive years during solar maximum. (ALT for more info) spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

Some planetary nebulae images I processed over the years: NGC 7094, NGC 2371, NGC 4071. #PlanetaryNebulae

Let the new year swirl in… What looks like a vortex of fire is in reality a disc around the young AB Aurigae star. Close to the centre, the ‘twist’ (in very bright yellow) marks the spot where scientists believe a planet is forming. 🔭

On 13 February 1990, from a distance of 6.4 billion km, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft turned around and photographed our homeworld. About halfway up on the right side is a tiny speck of light, about one pixel across. "That's home. That's us. A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam." —Carl Sagan

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

[ 1/31 ] 🧵 Time for yet another megathread of my favourite satellite pics. This time I have 123 images processed by me in 2025 *. Various dates, random places. Most of them were taken by Sentinel-2, some by S-3 and one or two by Landsat. *There's one more pic that isn't mine, but it's so good 😊

Open up this picture fully. Then look at the surface of Mars. Then look up to the top right. Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky. Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos. That's Earth.

9. Hunga Tonga before huge 2022 eruption ( 2021-04-10 ).

This week’s image is of Jupiter! Since this image comes from Gemini North NIRI, which has a field of view of 22x22”, a mosaic of multiple images was used to obtain this stunning portrait peering into Jupiter’s cloud-forming region. Check out a few paper highlights in the thread! #Astronomy

Tonight I decided to try something new. I managed to detect Exoplanet TOI 3714b transiting its host star using my 190MN scope and 2600MM camera. Totally blown away that this is possble from my back yard here in the UK. Transit took 1H 38mins and was about 5% in depth 🤯. #Astrophotography #exoplanet

This image of MACS 0416 from #NASAWebb and Hubble shows two galaxy clusters in the process of combining. Their mass magnifies the light from more distant background galaxies, helping astronomers identify distant supernovas and even individual stars: bit.ly/4qSNy5T 🔭

❄️ Our ExoMars TGO spacecraft revealed water frost inside the summit crater of Mount Olympus on Mars. Before this observation, it was thought improbable for frost to exist in this area. 🧪🔭 🔗 esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Images/2024/06/Newfound_frost_atop_Olympus_Mons

The detail of Earth 🌍 captured in Bill Anders’ first color photo taken from lunar orbit on #christmaseve in 1968 #OTD really is amazing. This is a crop of AS08-14-2383, in its original orientation, from a scanned 70mm @nasa film original 16-bit TIFF file by a project team at Arizona State University

Remember, JunoCam was simply a public relations device. It was NOT placed in an area of the spacecraft that was very well shielded from radiation exposure, meant to last only perhaps eight close passes. Yet it's lasted all this time. Incredible!

3. Santa Cruz del Islote ( I don't remember the date 😖 ). One of the most densely populated islands in the world.

Saturn's tiny icy moon Mimas hangs in space against a backdrop of the giant planet itself. The rings cross the bottom of the view, and cast their shadows onto the planet beyond. NASA Photojournal PIA06142, taken by the Cassini spacecraft on 7 November 2004 some 3.7 million km from Saturn.

This isn’t a scene of holiday lights gone awry—it’s cold dust in two galaxies! #NASAWebb’s mid-infrared observations uniquely capture the dust in exquisite detail. See how the pair looks when visible and UV light are added from Hubble: https://bit.ly/4oxgK0u

This cosmic butterfly is IRAS 23077+6707, the largest planet-forming disc seen around a young star yet!  Hubble has revealed it to be an unusually chaotic specimen, with wisps of material flying far beyond the disc 👉 https://esahubble.org/images/opo2606/ 🔭

No new JunoCam images have appeared since July but there are many older, spectacular images I still haven't processed. I processed this one recently. This is from the PJ14_21 raw image data obtained on July 16, 2018. Approx true color/contrast and enhanced versions. North is to the upper left.

🧵 My old collection of >100 high resolution images taken by Pleiades satellites between 2013 and 2021. My processing skills weren't very good and Bsky can't show full res, but here they are. I'm planning to add more from time to time. 1. Beijing-Daxing Airport terminal in China ( 2021-10-26 ).

Jupiter on Saturday morning in good seeing using the C11 with x2 Barlow. I'd just recollimated the scope and cleaned the corrector plate, which I think helps, but the dew was awful! This is probably my best Jupiter image to date. More data still to go through 🔭

#MSH45 | Watercolors One of the most powerful “before and afters” of Mount St. Helens isn’t a photo at all, it’s this watercolor. Legendary PNW mountaineer Dee Molenaar painted the graceful pre-1980 cone and Spirit Lake basin alongside the torn-open crater and devastated landscape that followed.

30 years ago yesterday the Galileo probe entered the atmosphere of Jupiter. I made this animation for NASA Ames using traditional methods, paint on acetate cels and shot on 35mm film.
