🇬🇧 The comet C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS is getting brighter by the day (or night).
It is getting lower on the horizon as it moves towards the Sun.
Light pollution from Morges and Lausanne, coupled with the haze, made it harder to see and capture the comet.
I brought my 35cm telescope to the lakeside and had a blast ! The comet is quite saturated and appears distinctly blueish. The tail stretches beyond the eyepiece FoV.
A friend joined me, and we could enjoy both the moonrise and sunrise. It was a great night.
The forecast is not great for the next few days, so I will follow the comet through your views. If you don't like waking up early, you can stay up late. This comet is worth it !
🇨🇭 La comète C/2025 R3 PanSTARRS devient de plus en plus brillante.
Elle descend sur l'horizon alors qu'elle se rapproche du soleil.
La pollution lumineuse de Lausanne et l'humidité rendaient la comète plus dure à voir et photographier.
J'ai amené mon télescope de 35cm au bord du lac et je me suis éclaté ! La comète est plutôt saturée et apparait disctinctement bleutée. Sa queue sort du champ de l'oculaire.
Un ami m'a rejoint et on a pu profiter du lever de la lune et celui du soleil. C'était une chouette nuit.
Les prévisions météo ne s'annoncent pas bonnes pour les prochains jours. Je suivrai donc l'évolution de la comète au travers de vos images. Si vous n'êtes pas lève-tôt, vous pouvez vous coucher tard. Cette comète en vaut la peine.

🇬🇧 The field that changed exoplanets.
Kepler was a 0.95m space telescope launched in 2009 to detect exoplanets passing in front of their stars. The main scientific goal of the mission was to detect Earth-like planets around Sun-like stars, and measure how common they are. To achieve this, Kepler observed a fixed field at the border between the Cygnus and the Lyra constellation for nearly four years.
This field of view is roughtly 11°x11°, that's about the size of your palm with your arm stretched in front of you. 🤚🏻
Kepler used 42 CCD sensors to measure the brightness of the stars in this region of the sky, respresented as white squares.
Kepler observed approximately 150 000 stars and detected 2 783 confirmed exoplanets, with 1 979 candidates yet to be confirmed.
Small planets are remarkably common: approximately 50% of Sun-like stars host at least one planet smaller than 4 Earth-radii.
The picture was taken from the top of Mont Fort, in the Swiss Alps, at 3300m of altitude.
🇨🇭 Le champ qui a révolutionné les exoplanètes.
Kepler était un télescope spatial de 0.95 m lancé en 2009 pour détecter des exoplanètes passant devant leur étoile. Le principal objectif scientifique de la mission était de découvrir des planètes comme la Terre autour d'étoiles comme le Soleil, et de mesurer leur occurence. Pour ce faire, Kepler a observé un champ à la frontière entre les constellations du Cygne et de la Lyre pendant près de quatre ans.
Ce champ de vue fai environ 11°x11°, c'est environ la taille de votre paume quand vous tendez le bras devant vous. 🤚🏻
Kepler utilisait 42 capteurs CCD pour mesurer la brillance des étoiles dans cette région du ciel, représentés par les carrés blancs.
Kepler a observé environ 150 000 étoiles et détecté 2 783 exoplanètes, avec 1 979 candidates encore à confirmer.
Les petites planètes sont remarquablement courantes : environ 50 % des étoiles semblables au Soleil accueillent au moins une planète de moins de 4 rayons terrestres.
La photo a été prise depuis le sommet du Mont Fort, dans les Alpes suisses, à 3300 m d'altitude.

Je me permets de partager un événement qui est m'est très spécial.
🇨🇭 À partir du 11 février, l'exposition "Rallumer la nuit" sera visible sur les quais de Rolle.
Vous pourrez découvrir une sélection de mes photos astronomiques entre le Château et le Casino.
C'est un honneur de partager la beauté du ciel nocturne et ma passion pour l'astronomie à Rolle, où j'ai grandi.
L'exposition s'inscrit dans le cadre des rencontres "La nuit mon amie", organisées par la Commission Énergie et Développement Durable (COMEDD).
Merci au bureau Culture-Sport-Manifestations de la rendre possible :)
