Local star go boom. Fortunately not in our direction. :) 🧪🔭
Wow. There was a significant CME on the Sun’s far side today (not directed at Earth). This CME was one of the fastest ejections we have seen in the past decade. If it were directed at Earth, this CME likely would have caused G5 (Kp 9) level storming. #heliophysics ☀️

BlueSky is Reddit and Twitter had a baby.

I love this.

Folks have been asking about the source of the Milky Way map I posted. I originally found it on Reddit, but the creator is Pablo Carlos Budassi, who has a great website of his work.

Only 3-4 days after new moon, a day before Atlas and Hercules are in full sunlight, you will see a prominent dark oval in the extreme NE (lunar) of the crescent moon. This is the 160km diameter crater Endymion formed during the Nectarian period (around 3.9 billion years ago).

Visible astronomy / observing saved my life as I was going through a terrible divorce.

There is something about looking up at the sky to really put your problems into perspective.
