The 62% waning Moon, 2025 07 17, 00:24:26 UTC at an altitude of 7° 12' and a distance of 371 392 km.
Excellent seeing tonight, resulting in a sharp image despite the low altitude.

I reprocessed to bring out the rings more. The rings are dimmer when at a shallow angle. They are at 3.6 degrees now. The angle of the ring plane as seen from Earth will be very small in November. It reaches a minimum of 0.38 degrees on 11/24. in-the-sky.org/news.php?id=... #astrophotography

Stellar clusters provide excellent opportunities to study how stars form and evolve. 🔭🧪
By studying stellar populations like dense globular clusters or loose open clusters in detail, Rubin will help scientists understand how stars are born, live, and die.🌌

Oh, bee-have! 🐝
The Little Beehive Cluster 🐝 (also known as Messier 41) is a dazzling open star cluster about 2300 light-years away. It's made of about 100 stars born from the same cloud of gas. 🌫️
This stunning nightscape captures NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory and M41 together ✨🔭🧪

Please help me bring back the #DareMightyThings umbrella inspired by the Perseverance rover parachute! 🪂🤖
Sold out, but I really want to reorder them. To do that we need 25 pre-orders! ✨
Pre-order yours here:

That red star in the center of the image is UY Scuti, one of the largest known stars. Exact values are somewhat uncertain but this red supergiant star is hundreds of times the radius of the Sun and tens of thousands of times more luminous than the Sun. 🔭
