As much as *scientist me* would like to think this is cool, it is not cool. We are not only letting billionaires trash our planet, but also the interstellar space surrounding our planet. A dead SpaceX rocket will crash into the lunar surface at a super high rate of speed, causing a ejecta plume that will teach us about lunar subsurface geochemistry. But this is not a planned experiment. It is the result of an accident by a private company. It is unauthorized. And more and more stories will unfold like this, including the unauthorized brightening of our night sky, as we let these billionaires do whatever they want to our resources. Humbug! #SpaceTrash #SpaceX #moon #Musk #SpaceDebris #NightSky https://www.yahoo.com/news/science/articles/dead-spacex-rocket-slam-moon-173456998.html

My new dream team is finally complete. The Harmonic Drive Mount Warpastron WD-20P paired with the Berlebach Astro Tripod UNI 18. Let the games begin — now all we need are clear skies. #astrophotography #stargazing #deepsky #astronomy #nightsky

The clouds called dibs on the sky tonight, 4/15... Our observatory will be socked in, so the stars are taking a well-deserved night off! No worries — the universe will still be there next week. Come find us at our next WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party! was-ct.org #Astronomy #StarParty #Westport #Connecticut #Stargazing #WAS #NightSky #CloudedOut #AmateurAstronomy #WestportObservatory

Oh wow! Even here in foggy San Francisco with tons of light pollution, we were able to see four of Jupiter's moons just now. And the moon is glorious! We actually took out our little telescope to get a better look. Amazing! Look up! #sfba #space #moon #jupiter #nightsky #science

Esta es una gran entrevista a la astrónoma Sam Lawler. Ella vive en Canadá y es una referente en la lucha contra la contaminación lumínica y las megaconstelaciones de satélites artificiales. Además, ella está acá en Mastodon como @sundogplanets@mastodon.social Este video se merece mucho más circulación, asique compas del fedi, agradezco que lo impulsen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kqNbrPNFSA #astronomy #astronomía #lightpollution #sky #darksky #nightsky #fediverse #science

This Week’s Sky at a Glance (Feb 20–March 1) Forecast for us in New England: mostly “meh.” Clouds rule the week, but if you catch a break, look up. Jupiter is blazing high after sunset. Saturn lingers low in the dawn. Orion dominates the evening with Taurus and the Pleiades nearby. Late winter skies are prime deep-sky season—grab it if you can. 👉 https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-february-20-march-1/ #Astronomy #NightSky #Jupiter #SkyandTelescope #Saturn #Orion #WestportObservatory #Stargazing

A city-size green comet is now visible in the night sky — but C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) is just passing through. Astronomers say this icy visitor will soon be flung out of our solar system and into interstellar space, much like 3I/ATLAS. Blink and you’ll miss it — once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.

3 years ago, in January 2023, I captured this beauty, the comet C/2022 E3. C/2022 E3 (ZTF) follows a highly elliptical orbit with a period of approximately 50,000 years. It reached its perihelion on January 12, 2023, at a distance of 1.1 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun. ▼ Vixen VC200L https://astrocamp.eu/en/c-2022-e3-ztf/ #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #deepsky #astroimaging #nightsky #clearsky #telescope #photography #space
