A thousand times brighter than a typical nova, a kilonova occurs when two neutron stars, or a neutron star and a black hole, collide.

#astro 🔭 it’s been a while, but I was blessed with some clear sky last week and managed to capture 6hr of SHO on SH2-171 aka the Cosmic Question Mark and or Teddy Bear nebula. Skywatcher 72ed with ZWO 2600 mm pro and ZWO AM5. 2hrs on each filter.

It's been over a month since I had any deep sky images to post. I captured some exposures of the Pleiades Friday night to test out my gear for a try at Comet 3I/Atlas Saturday AM. Low fog spoiled the attempt at the comet, but this image was a nice consolation prize. Details in ALT #astrophotography

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.

Every machine in a Hospital that diagnoses your body without cutting you open is based on a principle of Physics, discovered by a Physicist who had no interest in Medicine.

If you think the world doesn’t need Basic Science, or that somehow Science has failed you, think again.

“The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole.” ~ NASAUniverse

Gran Telescopio Canarias image of Arp 271, also known as NGC 5426 and NGC 5427.

The mutual gravitational interaction of this pair of spiral galaxies distorts their shapes and creates a bridge of gas, dust and young stars that connect the galaxies.

Overcooked image of LBN 534. overcooked on purpose because it's only 15 mins of data and I was having a tough time so I said screw it and maxed out what I could.

Though interesting to look at, NGC 1511 is one galaxy you might not want for a neighbour. Seen in this ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week, NGC 1511 is a peculiar spiral galaxy located roughly 50 million light-years away in the constellation Hydrus.

I wonder how long it'll be before the term 'AI' isn't immediately linked to Corporate Greed and can be associated with ACTUAL INNOVATION instead of just taking an overhyped Autocorrect program and trying to replace everyone's jobs.

For the past year I've been building up an astrophotography rig.
Clear nights are few and far between here, but I managed to get a full session in last night for the first time and had a first go a processing the images.

This is the Pacman Nebula (NGC 281), in the Hubble palette.
