#Venus through my 16" scope yesterday, captured under perfect seeing conditions - the likes of which I've never seen.
Vast and intricate cloud structure can be seen in this false-colour image, with a notable streak in the southern (right) hemisphere. #astrophotography
For my nerd friends (you know who you are), a recent release from the JWST: An image of a protostar and its nebula... :) #astronomy#nightsky#jwst#webb https://t.co/p9YxJflyqg
@AstrophotoJoes@misterv_ca I have the GT81 (great scope), with matching 0.8x flattener, and judging by the stars in this image, I doubt you'd really see much difference between the two scopes. (Wondering if you compensated for chromatic aberration?) --Nice shot, regardless! :)
If you put some soap or ink on a leaf, you obtain a ink propelled boat, using the Marangoni effect. The ink or the detergent has a lower surface tension than water and its flow provides thrust to push the boat forward

I was listening to the radio and I heard three #OliviaNewtonJohn songs played in a row. Then, the DJ said “honoring Olivia Newton-John,” and that’s when I knew. 😢
EXCITED to share a video about the Summer Triangle--it's the key to finding many wonderful targets in the night sky! :) https://t.co/mRAz6CbYv3 #astronomy#nightsky
A snippet from a 50h all-sky timelapse below the @SPTelescope, with amazing music by #HolographicField. I shot over 19,000 images, every 8 seconds till my memory card was full! Unfortunately I can't post the full video here, but it's up on my Instagram page
An astronomical tour of the #constellation Cancer the Crab, with tips on how to find it. Check out the Beehive Cluster, aka Messier 44 or M44, and the beautiful orange and blue binary star, Iota Cancri. #nightsky#astronomy https://t.co/LlXAwJ1G2U
@CosmicKaufman Great, now I'm hungry! ;) BTW, if the doc allows it, try some honey on the vanilla (and, what the heck, the chocolate too--purely in the interest of science)... The honey is good on vanilla, and perhaps it might soothe things.
A new video on the constellation #Taurus for beginners--info on how to find and recognize it, some open clusters in it, like the #Pleiades, etc. https://t.co/xU2eW5ftdJ #astronomy#nightsky#science :)
