The Merope Nebula is a reflection nebula in the Pleiades in Taurus, 400 ly away. It is best observed in late November. ▼ Vixen ED80sf | Canon EOS M100(a) '21 © Thomas Hanrath '25 · CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 astrocamp.eu/en/vdb-22-me... #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #deepsky

We have clear skies, with northerly winds so seeing is probably quite good. However, it's absolutely freezing out there (not literally) and I have a physics tutorial at 19:30. Do I open the Observatory or not? 🔭🧪

Some might say this is Sci-Fi With #science, #technology & #astronomy, anything is possible. There's much we don't know (have no answers for) Do I believe in Aliens👽, UFOs🛸, parallel universes🌌, etc? I have an open mind, so yes & I have no reason not to www.popularmechanics.com/….

You’re Living Alongside Invisible Wormholes, Scientists Say—and They May Be Warping Your Reality

You can’t see them, but these spacetime tunnels could be changing the fabric of everything you know.

At my 39 N latitude, green is usually seen as a low glowing fringe in the distance. On 11/11 it was more dynamic as this time-lapse video using 4s exposures shows. I think it is a strong substorm that must have been amazing for those to my north. It is reflected in the lake. #astrophotography

The peak of the #Leonids meteor shower is on the night of the 17th into the morning of the 18th. With the Moon out of the way, this year should be a good one to see them. Leonid meteors are very swift and often bright. You could see around 5-10 per hour from a dark location. #Astronomy

The decline and fall of stars in the Universe The cosmic star-formation rate rose and rose for billions of years, peaking about 10-11 billion years ago. Today, it's slowed to a trickle, and someday, will cease altogether. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #astronomy #stars

The decline and fall of stars in the Universe

For over 10 billion years, the cosmic star-formation rate has been dropping and dropping. Someday, the final star in the Universe will die.

Paper day!!! My most recent first-author paper is officially published. I’ll make a post breaking it down soon but TLDR I compared X-Ray observations of hot gas around galaxies to cosmological simulations and it looks like simulations aren’t consistently able to match the real universe! 🔭🧪

🔭🧪🎢 PhD Project focus: SMILE! Novel X-ray views of the magnetosphere We're advertising this project with Dr Jennifer Carter, analysing data from SMILE (launch early 2026) to understand Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind For details of all our PhD projects look here: le.ac.uk/study/resear...
SMILE will have two imagers; the SXI with a view of the dayside magnetopause (purple), and the UVI with a view of the Northern Hemisphere aurora (green). The University of Leicester led the build of the SXI, shown in the inset.

The speed with which the astronomy community set up working groups and organized special discussion sessions around satellite megaconstellations (compared with often glacial pace for these things) demonstrates very clearly that astronomers are Not Fine With This. 🔭

In one of my astrophoto groups, a guy posted a photo that shows some non-celestial stuff in it and someone said it’s satellite constellations and another person said that astronomers really hate those and several men have weighed in to say actually astronomers think they’re fine Me: WE DO NOT 🔭

#PPOD: NASA’s JWST observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light. The young star is off to the lower right corner of the Webb image. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI 🧪 🔭
A long tall column of red dust reaches up from the lower right to the upper left of this very detailed image from JWST. At the top end of the column, a galaxy appears to rest; however, that galaxy is in the background. Numerous background galaxies are also in the image as well as a few foreground stars with the tell-tale diffraction spikes of JWST's optics.

09 November 2025, Moon at 80%. Last crater and edge details from the other night! I wasn’t sure if this angle would turn out but now I love it. Telescope: #Celestron #CPC800 and #Nikon #D7500 4K ISO-1600 1/1000 sec | ~5,400 images | AS! RS6 #SpaceGarbage 🔭 #Moon #Luna #Space #Colorado
Craters dimple the waning gibbous moon across most of the lower face.
