To inspire you to look up and explore the beauty of the night sky ✨

Look NE in the pre dawn. Watch Venus inch closer and closer to Jupiter in the days running up to the 12th 🌟🌟

[John Brady @InspiringAstro]

👀Look to the west tonight, Saturday the 18th of Jan after sunset to see a beautiful conjunction of Saturn and Venus 🪐🌟

They’ll be just over 2 degrees apart as they do their cosmic dance.

This photo I took on the 16th when they were nearly 3 degrees apart.

Clear skies ✨

This is a still image from a time lapse video I did at the Ribblehead Viaduct in the Yorkshire Dales, North England. The viaduct sits below Whernside - one of the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

That's Venus setting at bottom left between the arches !

Enjoy the view ✨

@WWTMartinMere Okay thanks 👍

[John Brady @InspiringAstro]

@WWTMartinMere Is it possible to walk into Martin Mere after closing time during the evening. As it’s quite a dark area, I’d like to take images and time lapses of the night sky over the lakes🌌

Look east early evening to spot Jupiter 🌟

With binoculars (10x50 or 8x42), you can actually see its 4 largest moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede & Callisto. Use a tripod or rest your arms on something to keep steady.

Don’t miss this celestial treat! ✨🔭

🌌 Don’t miss the planet Jupiter and the very thin crescent Moon in a beautiful conjunction

If the UK weather finally gives us a break

Look west after sunset on Wednesday the 10th of April 2024, as the one day old Moon joins Jupiter in a beautiful pairing ✨🌙

🌌 WOW !! The most detailed image ever of the Andromeda Galaxy 2.5 million light years away

Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope every single dot is a star… a sun, with probably a large amount of them with their own solar systems of orbiting planets #Astronomy #space #Hubble

🌠 Don't miss the Geminids meteor shower peak on Dec 14/15 Thurs/Fri

Radiant Gemini, potentially 100 meteors/hour in dark sky. Unique as they come from an asteroid. Moon won't interfere - dark sky, bright meteors!

Look East/SouthEast on Dec 14, no telescope needed. #Geminids

[John Brady @InspiringAstro]

✨🌙 Get your cameras ready for a beautiful conjunction of the crescent Moon & Venus on Sat Dec 9th

Okay, not quite the closest at 4-5 degrees apart, but will still be a lovely sight

Look E/SE👀
Moon/Venus rise 4 am
Sunrise 8.55🌅
Times UK GMT

If you snooze you loose

🌙 The waning crescent Moon and Venus through the mist this morning

[John Brady @InspiringAstro]

🌙🪐 Don't miss the cosmic spectacle on Nov 9th! See Venus and the crescent Moon in a breathtaking close conjunction before sunrise. 🪐🌙

🔭 No telescope needed, just look up !

🌟 Venus and the Moon will be less than 1 degree apart 🌄 Best viewing between 5-7 am UK (GMT)

[John Brady @InspiringAstro]

Look up tonight for a chance to see Orionid meteors. The shower runs from 2nd Oct - 7th Nov but peaks between 21st/22nd October.

They can have long trails, look anywhere in sky but they’ll seem to originate from the radiant point to the left of Orion.

Clear skies ✨🙂

The lunar Alps with deep shadows, and bright peaks towering out of the darkness.
