Včera jsem po dlouhé době vytáhl dalekohled a konečně nastavil zrcadlo. Tohle z toho vypadlo 🙂 #Moon #astrophotography



Cosmic Fire by Sergio Montúfar

That night, the volcano was incredibly active. Above, the Milky Way stretched diagonally across the sky. As the volcano erupted, the ash plume rose vertically, forming an acute angle of about 45 degrees with the galaxy’s diagonal path, creating a stunning visual contrast between Earth’s fury and the cosmos’ serenity.

Diamond Beach Emerald Sky by Brent Martin

The night was full of colour, with comet C/2024 G3 Atlas and a pink aurora in the early hours, followed by the Milky Way rising amid intense green airglow.

Blossom by Ethan Su

The Yushan alpine rhododendrons are finally in bloom once again on Taiwan’s 3,000-metre-high Hehuan mountain. A solar flare from active region AR3664 reached Earth that evening, intensifying the airglow and adding an otherworldly touch to the sky. Together, these rare natural events created a breathtaking scene – vivid blooms glowing softly beneath a star-filled sky.

Winter Fairy Tale by Uroš Fink

A panorama of the winter Milky Way with reddish nebulae, stretching above Dobratsch. The sky was magnificent, with Jupiter and Mars shining brightly. In the foreground is a cabin.

Boot Arch Perseids by Mike Abramyan

The Perseid meteor shower occurs every August. Each meteor is painstakingly aligned to its true location in the night sky. The final depiction shows all the meteors captured, combined into one frame – as if the Earth hadn’t been rotating and all the meteors had fallen at once.

A Sea of Lupines by Max Inwood

The annual lupine bloom in New Zealand is spectacular, with fields of colourful flowers stretching across the Mackenzie Basin. Above the flowers, you can see the band of the outer Milky Way, alongside the constellations Orion, Gemini, and the Pleiades. Joining them are the bright planets Jupiter and Mars, with a strong display of green airglow visible along the horizon.

One in a Billion by Don Pettit

"I float in the cupola, looking out the seven windows composing this faceted transparent jewel. While my mind is submerged in contemplation, my eyes gorge on the dim reflections from a night-time Earth. There are more than 8 billion people who call this planet home. There are seven of us who can say the same for the space station. What a privilege it is to be here."

This photo is insane. Dude went to Alaska to capture the #eclipse and the Northern Lights appeared behind it.

On Wednesday night I managed to capture Comet 2024 G3 ATLAS again

As I capture more and more data in this region, I am amazed at the dusty detail that is there. I will continue to capture data on this one into the 32 hour mark. So far about 10 hours of integration time. 25% RGB data and 75% HOO narrowband data for an RGBHOO image. #astrophotography #photography #astronomy 🔭📷

This is a three hour long #photo sequence I took in Jan 2019 during a total lunar #eclipse at ESO's Paranal Observatory in #Chile

As the #Moon moves into the Earth's shadow it becomes red. When sunlight passes through the Earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away more efficiently than red light, which passes through almost unimpeded, like at #sunrise or #sunset.

From the Moon, you would see the Earth surrounded by a golden fiery ring.

Since I saw some of you enjoyed yesterday's photo of the ISS transiting our full moon, I thought I'd post some more details: This kind of transit is quite rare, but can be observed almost anywhere with some patience and planning. The ISS is about 400km above earth, and it circles around our planet 16 times a day - so it's faaaaast! The transit of the moon takes less than 1 second, so timing is everything. Here's a video... #iss #spacestation #transit #fullmoon #photography #astrophotography



It was really nice to contribute to this image of the Cone Nebula that ESO just released to mark 60 years of collaboration. It's one of the many things I love about my current job here: working with our amazing visual team to deliver cool images for you to enjoy.

What you see here is a pillar of dust and gas sculpted by the intense radiation of stars further up, outside of the field of view.
