In this splendid photo from Valerio Minato three wonders were captured in a single shot:

- the Basilica of Superga, located near Turin (Italy)
- the Monviso, the highest mountain of the Cottian Alps
- the setting Moon, captured in a crescent phase

Look at this night, it seems hand-painted. In front of everything is Superga, illuminated as if someone had turned on only the hottest bulbs: the dome and the golden columns; the lights outline arches and balconies as if the church were breathing softly. Thirty kilometers away, Monviso appears like a giant of gray-blue rock like the sky. And right towards the summit, there's a thin, ivory-colored crescent moon. It's so bright you can see the entire circle: the dark part is illuminated by that terrestrial reflection called "da Vinci light." The photo is a long, 30-second expanse: the silence is palpable. Imagine the cold stone, the Alpine wind, the scent of distant snow.

What a sight!

The emerald-green core of C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) glows among Boötes’ stars: a view of pure magic by Simeon Schmauß.

Bravo!

#Comet C/2025 A6 #Lemmon in the constellation Boötes, on the evening of October 24th. Captured from the light polluted outskirts of Munich.

16 minutes integration time with my Fujifilm X-S10 and 135mm f4.5 lens (untracked).

#astrophotography 🔭
A starfield with many small and colorful stars is dominated by comet Lemmon which is oriented diagonally in the frame. The comet has a greenish coma and a diffuse yellowish dust tail is pointing up from the nucleus. Layered with the dust tail is the blueish ion-tail which is much narrower and longer, stretching beyond the top of the image. The ion tail shows some slight undulations from changes in the comets activity over time.

Today in PASA we published a new image of our Milky Way at low radio frequencies, in unprecedented colour and detail. Here's just a tiny piece of it -- the whole thing is ten times bigger!

We're seeing high energy electrons whirl around cosmic magnetic fields from exploded stars, and more!

The aim of today’s governance should be to strengthen security, stability, and the very fabric of society that shapes the lives of every Ontarian. Housing is the cornerstone for the majority of the electorate—already carrying far more weight and pressure than it should.

Two telescopes, one cosmic masterpiece: Hubble & Webb unveil a star cluster duo!

Imagine zooming into a 527-megapixel cosmic tapestry — that’s what NASA released in July 2025.

Check out this photo: it's a 527-megapixel mosaic blending Hubble and Webb views of two open clusters, NGC 460 and NGC 456, in the Small Magellanic Cloud.Hubble shows glowing blue bubbles, like fluffy clouds carved by stellar winds—ionized gas that looks like colored cotton.Then Webb comes in with the red: warm dust weaving through delicate filaments, like velvet caverns in the dark.All around, an endless web of gas, dust, and twinkling star points shining in the deep black.It's like peering into a universe of cosmic lace. Stunning.

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has captured new images of the supermassive black hole M87*.

Observations from 2017, 2018, and 2021 reveal a dynamic and surprising environment.

🔭 🧪 #cosmology #astrophysics #science
A triptych of images from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) shows the supermassive black hole M87* in 2017, 2018, and 2021. Each image depicts a bright, asymmetric ring of hot plasma surrounding the black hole’s shadow. Overlaid on the ring are white lines representing polarization patterns, which indicate the orientation of magnetic fields in the plasma. In 2017, the lines form a spiral pattern in one direction with a polarization fraction up to 15%. In 2018, the pattern appears less pronounced, with a lower polarization of 5-10%. In 2021, the spiral reverses direction, maintaining the lower polarization. The images highlight the dynamic changes in the magnetic environment around M87*.

Stunning: The Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302) lies about 3800 light-years away in Scorpius.

Its glowing gas (formerly the star's outer layers) was expelled over 2200 years, forming a butterfly-shaped structure over two light-years wide!

NASA — under pressure from the current White House — has quietly begun planning the destruction of two state-of-the-art sensors whose only crime is helping humanity see the carbon it emits.

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

“The big motivation for these experiments is: we are looking for the reason why there might be a matter-antimatter asymmetry,” Ulmer says.

I spent months shooting a specific part of the Milky Way to reveal all the hidden nebulae. I call it “Above the Rift”, a 337 megapixel, 140 hour exposure. My deepest look at the Milky Way yet.

Available in print until tomorrow night at the link in my bio.
