Get ready for 'meteor Christmas' with an added bonus: a partial solar eclipse Every August we are treated to one of the best meteor showers of the year: the Perseids. But this year, during the day of the peak, much of Canada will also get a partial solar eclipse. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/perseid-meteor-shower-eclipse-9.7298490?cmp=rss

The night shift begins. At our Paranal Observatory, sunset does not mark the end of the day: it signals the beginning of a night under the stars. Taken after dinner, before heading to the telescopes for a night of observing, this image shows the last rays of sunlight slicing through one of the corridors at the Residencia — a home away from home for astronomers and other staff members. https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2632a/ 📷 L.

🌌 oddquark // Cosmos Watch — 2026-08-09 FIRST EVER jet spotted from an intermediate-mass black hole! 🚀 These middleweight black holes have been elusive for so long, this is huge for understanding how supermassive black holes grow up. Absolutely thrilled about this one! 🔗 https://zamin.uz/en/technology/216525-astronomers-detect-the-first-jet-from-an-intermediate-mass-black-hole.html #MilkyWay #BlackHole #Cosmology #Astronomy

I got myself a sheet of Sun-safe filter material, and McGuyvered a pop-up filter for my lens. The first attempt sort of worked, but I didn't get the filter 100% straight. Luckily I have more material. But this is sort of my first attempt, and a few sunspots are clearly visible on the right of the image. Warning: Never look at the Sun without protection! #Sun #Photography #Astronomy #AstroPhotography
