NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on Flickr (Aug 21, 2025) IC 348, a star-forming region in the Milky Way, is captured beautifully with data from Webb and Chandra, revealing young stars and glowing interstellar material. flic.kr/p/2roPuLR

Sh 2-132, also known as the Lion Nebula, is a diffuse nebula in the constellation Cepheus, located about 10,400 light-years from Earth. It is ionized by two very hot (approximately 200,000 Kelvin) Wolf-Rayet stars along with many O and B-type stars. From our backyard in Alpine, CA. #astrophotography
Fantastic views of the northern lights, the aurora borealis seen across Suffolk and Norfolk skies tonight! 😎 🥰 🌄 #northernlights #auroraborealis #Suffolk #Norfolk 📷 Courtesy of Mark Ellis
Today in space: The Hera spacecraft is about to perform a hard burn so it can meet up with asteroid Dimorphos. 4 years ago, NASA deliberately crashed a probe into Dimorphos. Starting next month, Hera will map the wreckage. 🧪🔭 www.esa.int/Space_Safety...
The Matterhorn makes its own weather. That cloud flying off the summit is a banner cloud: wind rises up the face and condenses on the sheltered side. Overnight it drifts away and the Milky Way climbs over 4,478 meters of rock. #Matterhorn #Astrophotography #ILoveNature
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope on Flickr (Mar 27, 2025) An Einstein ring showcases two galaxies, with the closer one bending light from the more distant galaxy, creating a stunning cosmic lens effect. flic.kr/p/2qUfL4c
First time I have seen #northernlights 😊 Very faint but more visible using phone camera
Somme pretty nice tidal interactions going on in the NGC474 galaxy and its neighboring galaxies. This #astrophotography is a collaborative work with @vbioret.bsky.social with around 31h of subs total. The night is dark and full of wonders 😇. Where do you put this @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?
I thought I was finished with Ghost of Cassiopeia for this year, but decided to join a star party with my DWARF3 and ended up with 3 more hours of data. I decided I might as well add that to my existing 11 hours. #DWARF3 #astrophotography #dwarflab #ghostofcassiopeia
It's been four months since New Glenn exploded, and there's three months until next year - we're over halfway to the return-to-flight deadline. So, is BlueOrigin's launch pad repair work also halfway complete? → youtu.be/iqPHAU5OLD0
first cool night in weeks. still had a good showing, el niño is certainly having an effect. IDs in alt text. bonus shots of a rocket launch. #teammoth #bugsky #lepidoptera #facesofelnino

What happens to asteroid impact debris after it lands? ☄️ PSI's Kirby Runyon used a miniature catapult aboard a reduced-gravity airplane to find out! 🎥 buff.ly/uFbAWwh #PlanetaryScience #ImpactCraters #Moon #Mars #SpaceScience #WorldSpaceWeek
Aurora 2026-10-10 ...and the Milky Way and Andromeda and possibly the Triangulum galaxy as well, I think. Pretty decent display. That green arc was particularly bright. #aurora #auroraborealis #perthshire #strathearn #scotland #nature #nightsky
Two years ago I got on a plane after dark. The sun had launched a big solar flare towards earth. The view was ok i guess
