#astro My collaborators and I discovered M33N 2025-10a, and I also discovered M33N 2011-10a from Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) archive images, all of which were confirmed as outbursts of M33N 2021-08a. These three outbursts make M33N 2021-08a the first confirmed recurrent nova in M33.

Behold, here are the orbits of ALL 128 MOONS OF SATURN. This isn't just a moon system—it's a literal asteroid belt around Saturn! 🧪🔭☄️

In an urban area with serious light pollution, the Seestar S50 was used to monitor the upcoming outburst of the recurrent nova T CrB. Because Seestar S50 doesn't have this object in its database, I chose GOTO to the nearby galaxy IC 4587, which places T CrB almost perfectly at the center. 🔭
