2026 is an eclipse lover’s dream. 👀 👇🏻
Four powerful eclipses will unfold across the year—two solar and two lunar—turning 2026 into one of the most dramatic skywatching years of this decade.

BREAKING 🚨: The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a chain of 20 galaxies, dubbed the Cosmic Vine. 😮
Which stretches 13 million light-years across and dates back to just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging models of early galaxy clustering.

SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT! 😲
Northern lights tonight will likely not be visible much further south than Kentucky, but tomorrow, northern lights could be visible as far south as Texas and Georgia. Get those camera ready!

The biggest moon of the year , shot with a 800mm lens yesterday evening above the Cunera Church in Rhenen, when it was rising behind a thin layer of clouds. The moon was about 8% bigger than normal because of its position to the earth.

UGC 4879
Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a little smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical.
This galaxy is relatively isolated. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away!

While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first!
