@VictoriaCoren Another thought - @robwordsYT might be able to help!

[Liverpool Astronomical Society @LiverpoolAS]

@VictoriaCoren After a bit of searching, it seems to be a Czech proverb.
As such, you didn't make it up but @RealDMitchell can't be blamed for not knowing it. Does your family/friend group consist of Czechs? Unless you've subconsciously surrounded yourself with Czechs somehow?

@VictoriaCoren And also, happy anniversary

Hi followers, as Twitter/X continues to devolve and monestise, where are you moving to? Where's the place we should be looking?

So happy to get this shot of C/2023 A3

Need to do some cleaning up, but great to get 5 mins on this object, which is very low on the horizon from my location.

@LIGO @livingligo @VillanovaU Please accept our condolences

I'm working on Galaxy #C12 the fireworks galaxy, 22 million light years from #earth

With another clear night forecast for tonight, going to get more data for proper post processing, this is just using the #ASIAIR app.

C12, also known as NGC 6946 or the Fireworks Galaxy, is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cepheus. Its nickname comes from its high rate of supernova explosions, which have been observed multiple times over the past century.

#Jupiter and Io under excellent seeing conditions this morning. A wealth of detail is visible across the planet despite the small-ish apparent size currently. #astrophotography #telescope

[Tom Williams @tw__astro]

This morning's view of the Red Planet #Mars, still rather distant. Good seeing conditions with Sinus Meridiani central on the disc.

I wouldn’t have thought this was possible 5 years ago. This photo of the Triangulum Galaxy wasn’t captured by Hubble, but by a 12” telescope from my suburban backyard. Space is much more accessible than you’d think.

This is formatted as a mobile wallpaper for you. More coming!

[Tom Williams @tw__astro]

And finally, here's last night's view of #Saturn - perhaps my favourite image to date. Tethys can be seen in transit alongside its shadow, with Titan also close by. #astrophotography

You may have heard that tonight is your chance to see a rare 'blue supermoon'. A reminder that:
- The term 'Blue Moon' was invented in 1937 and has no astronomical significance.
- Supermoons look just like any other Full Moon
- Looking at the full Moon is always fabulous!

@JakeBennett2017 Couldn't DM you directly but you should be able to DM us now.

On such a beautiful day, if you like space, lie back & take a hour for some interesting conversation. Don't forget the sun block : https://t.co/aZOTzJdtkT
