A #CosmicVision mission, #ESAEnvision will be the first mission to provide a complete view of Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere.

Its goal is to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently.

Gigantic jet TLE above Mexico (crop) - From Simeon Schmauß (stim3on.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2rhxUhJ
On July 3rd, astronaut Nichole Ayers photographed a gigantic jet from the ISS. These rare upward directed electrical discharges extend ~90-100 km high into the mesosphere. The jet originated from a thunderstorm over Northern Mexico, with city lights from South Texas and the green airglow layer visible along Earth’s limb. I processed this image from the RAW file, adjusting the color profile, white balance and contrast and applied Lightroom's machine learning denoise with low strength. The RAW was provided to me by Frankie Lucena, his analysis of the event, correlating it to measurements from the Geostationary Lightning mapper and ELF-VLF radio signals can be found here: spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=224355 Original image listing in the NASA archive: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS073&amp...

Lunar Occultation of Saturn 9/17/2024 - From Ryan Kinnett (rkinnett.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2qh5d47
Saturn passing behind the Moon on the morning of Sept 17, 2024. Also resolved are Saturn's moons Titan (left) and Tethys (right). Imaged with 14" LX200 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope at f/10 from La Crescenta, California. Note that Saturn detail was enhanced by blending a sharpened stack of images captured immediately prior to the occultation.

3 more nights worth of data added, and you can really start to see the clouds now! #Astrophotography is definitely a hobby for patient people. Super grainy, I didn't have the SNR to actually stretch it this far but I really wanted to see the clouds. 🔭📷

Central part of the planetary nebula NGC 2440 with #JWST NIRCam. 🔭

In the middle you can see the central star that produced this nebula at the end of its life as a giant star and beginning of the new life as a white dwarf. #astronomy #planetarynebula ⭐

Yellow-green clouds with fine structures surround the central blue star and some parts seem to point towards the central star. Diffuse violet and some green light is also present.

Titan's Colorful Haze - From Val Klavans (valklavans.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/iVakJv
This is an approximate true color view of Titan taken during Cassini's Titan (T-97) Flyby: wp.me/p2WQE3-8S. It was snapped by the Cassini spacecraft's camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS). Titan's upper haze layers appear blue, while its main atmospheric haze appear orange in this view. The difference in color is most likely due to particle size rather than composition. The blue haze probably consists of smaller particles than the orange haze. These images were taken on January 01, 2014 and received on Earth January 03, 2014. The camera was pointing toward TITAN at approximately 14,958 miles (24,072 kilometers) away, and the images were taken using the CL1, VIO, BL1 and RED filters. Credit: NASA / JPL / SSI / Val Klavans
