Congrats to @Elan_Valley on their 10th year as an #internationaldarkskypark. It was lovely to spend time with you and other astro friends yesterday. Also to see the @alynwallace art installation for the first time was special.

First light from the Loony Luna Observatory. A big cosmic shockwave, the Western Veil Nebula. A supernova remnant in the constellation of Cygnus. I’m so happy! And now I need a rest ☺️😴#astronomy #Astrophotography

[ARCHIVED - Curiosity Rover @MarsCuriosity]

Did you ever know that you're my hero
And everything I would like to be?
You flew higher than an eagle
Your tech is the wind beneath our wings

If it’s clear tonight, take a look at the Moon! It’s a supermoon, so it’s brighter than usual ☺️ if you can’t catch this one, no worries - there’s another at the end of the month, a rare blue supermoon!

[Dr Becky Smethurst @drbecky_]

Happy 1 year of JWST science everyone 🥳 @NASAWebb @ESA_Webb

@skyatnightmag The Moon on Sunday 25th June 2023 at 21:05, taken using 8” Skywatcher Dobsonian and iPhone 13.
If you closely at the terminator you can see an X and a V, these Clair Obscur effects are only visible when the Moon is at First Quarter.

You guys, I shot this last night on an iPhone 14 Pro 🤯 the level of dust detail is insane! And this is only a quick edit using the in built tools of the phone! Who said you need a DSLR to capture the Milky Way?!? Will be trying for more tonight!

[Bepi @ESA_Bepi]

#MercuryFlyby 3 is happening now!

Updates in the morning, and hopefully we can share some nice photos taken by @ESA_MTM #selfie cam, during the afternoon!
