Peering into the cosmos, the 1997 capture of the Rosette Nebula by the Burrell Schmidt telescope at Case Western Reserve's observatory is a marvel. Although not flawless due to poor weather and technical glitches, it's a sight to behold.

That was huge! 💥🔥😱

[Edward.Vijayakumar @edwanx]

An X4.5 flare generated a fast, asymmetric full halo CME. The bulk of the CME is directed eastward, with an Earth-directed component. CACTus estimated the speed of the CME at approximately 1135 km/s. Likely to impact Earth on Sept 16th.

Saturn’s Frozen Moon: Enceladus! 🪐🧊💧⁣

Enceladus is a small moon that orbits Saturn at a distance of 148,000 miles (238,000 km) in a tidally locked elliptical pattern – the same side of Enceladus faces toward the planet, with an average temperature of -330 Fº (-201 Cº).

#BreakingNews For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface. The images of the star✨, R Doradus, were obtained with ALMA📡, in July and August 2023 🔗https://t.co/CDElA8uACe

This is an ASA 600 Telescope image of Antennae Galaxies taken by @WPromper 🥰 🌌

The Antennae Galaxies (also known as NGC 4038/NGC 4039 or Caldwell 60/Caldwell 61) are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus.

At only 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, the Tarantula Nebula is the largest and brightest star-forming region in the Local Group, the galaxies nearest our Milky Way. It is home to the hottest, most massive stars known. ✨

A rarely viewed angle of Earth on the Pacific Ocean side 🌍

The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth. It spans 60 million square miles from California to China, and in certain regions extends tens of thousands of feet below the surface of the water.

Flying through star cluster NGC 1850. ✨

NGC 1850 is a double cluster and a super star cluster in the Dorado constellation, located in the northwest part of the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud, at a distance of 168 kly (51.5 kpc) from the Sun.

Asteroid randezvous

[Tony Dunn @tony873004]

The average distance between asteroids in the #asteroid belt is nearly 1 million km. Next week, two asteroids, will pass less than 300 km from each other. You will need an observatory-grade astrophotography setup to see it, so enjoy my animation instead.

7 years ago today, the Sun popped off the largest #SolarFlare of the previous solar cycle. But although our current solar cycle is already significantly larger than the previous, we’ve yet to see a flare close to this Sept 6th 2017 event!
