My version of #Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from #Montpellier yesterday. A lot of light pollution makes it difficult to catch !

Too cloudy in Montpellier to catch the totality phase of the #eclipse... a nice evening though looking at the pink flamingos, the "lighthouse" of Palavas, and finally, a bit of the moon escaping from the clouds.

Full moonrise in Athens on the Acropolis a couple of days ago. Lucky to be at the right place at the right time !

Then we use 3color single molecule FRET to resolve the correlated conformational mouvements taking place during the activation of the receptor, resolving a new intermediate.

I finally took the time to treat my picture of Orion taken during #deathvalley #nationalpark dark sky festival in February.
Thanks to the NP rangers for organizing this, and all my support @altnps.bsky.social

It was slightly cloudy. It makes a nice halo around Orion's stars and a bit of orange background...

2 hours of rotating #Jupiter, as seen yesterday from by backyard in #Montpellier

See the dance of its satellites : Io transiting in front of the giant planet and casting its shadow, and Ganymede appearing at the back...

#Jupiter from my backyard in Montpellier tonight. These days the planet is particularly bright, and very high in the sky, a perfect target for #astrophotography. It is the first time I can catch this level of details with my telescope !
