And then there were two! Another one caught last night as well. Two lunar impact events in a row caught by @dfuji1.bsky.social

Hey there astronomy community! If anyone has any information or new footage of that impact flash on the Moon, please let me know—I’d love to see it/hear about it.

BREAKING: ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (which is designed to look at Mars itself) turned to face interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS while it passed relatively close by, at a distance of 30m kilometres.

And it caught it! Look at that adorable little puffy coma.

NEW: Earlier this year, the volcanic island of Santorini was rocked by 28,000 quakes. It didn't end in an eruption—but it wasn't clear what was going on.

Now, in part thanks to AI, we know: two volcanoes were communicating using magma!

Remember 2024 YR4, the asteroid that used to stand a decent chance of impacting Earth? Some rather good telescopes got a good look at it, and…it looks like a hockey puck!

It also got thrown our way because Jupiter’s gravity yanked it out of the asteroid belt.

Jupiter sucks.
