Dan Farah doing the round might be doing more than the actual documentary to move the needle.

Io beauty shot.

Taken by the Juno spacecraft on 3 February 2024.

The right-hand hemisphere is illuminated by the Sun.

On the left, the night side isn't totally dark because of Jupitershine.

Join us on a trip to the region between the Scorpius and Ophiuchus constellations, home to tens of rogue planets.

Rogue planets do not orbit a star but roam freely. Since they are not illuminated by nearby stars, they are hard to discover.

The night sky is not the only marvel of the Atacama Desert.

One example? The Licancabur volcano, one of the great gatekeepers of ALMA. 5920 m high, it‘s part of a chain of mountains that separate Chile and Bolivia 🌋

This is an incredible image of comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by Satoru Murata ICQ Comet Observations group on 16 November 2025 from western New Mexico.

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

#PPOD: Astronomers using ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile have captured this eye-catching image of planetary nebula Abell 33. Created when an aging star blew off its outer layers, this beautiful blue bubble is, by chance, aligned with a foreground star... 🧪 🔭

I find this image remarkable.

It's of the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, photographed by the ESA Rosetta spacecraft.

That bright white plume is a jet of dust and water ice blasting from the nucleus—helping form the comet's long, dusty tail as it approaches the Sun.

This is part of our universe.

An area of sky about the size of a grain of sand held at arm's length.

The spiked features are stars in the Milky Way.

EVERYTHING ELSE IS A GALAXY.

The average impact velocity at the Moon is somewhere between 16 and 20 kilometres per second.

This is the result of even a modest space rock hitting the lunar surface at that speed.

Meet our nearest giant galaxy 👀

One of the most spectacular objects in the sky, Centaurus A is located 13 million light-years away. Here we see the jets ejected from the galaxy centre, signatures of the presence of a supermassive black hole. 🔭

Lacatski, not so defensive anymore. Nice to see. He also says that he's willing to testify to "we have a craft." Good interview.

This is the surface of Saturn's giant icy moon Titan, photographed by the Huygens probe on 14 January 2005.

It is the farthest place from Earth where we have so far landed.

Open Sesame!

The ELT doors have moved for the first time. This was no small feat, as each door will weigh 650 tonnes once completed.

The ELT dome & its doors will guard the telescope from the harsh conditions of the Atacama Desert.
