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.

Finally found time to process my photo of the Small Magellan Cloud next to the Tucanae Globular Cluster in LRGBH from Atacama desert. This one is closer to my heart because is the only galaxy I have seen with my naked eyes (other than the Milky Way). #Astrophotography 🔭

You will never be able to make "data driven" decisions until you realize just how much your decisions are driven by emotions: fear of missing out, defensiveness of your favorite idea, apprehension over something unusual.
That's because there's no such thing as "the data" - only interpretations.

Our galaxy is full of clouds of dust and gas. We can guess that they probably move, but it's hard to tell for sure. Until now!

There are no words to describe the sky there: Being under the full arc of the Milky Way passing overhead was simply breathtaking, and observing its structure and some deep-sky objects with the naked eye is really amazing.
In upcoming weeks, I will be publishing many of the images I captured there.
