The bright blue star Navi illuminates its foreground gases, creating a ghostly haze. Its blue reflection blends with the red Hα gas, suffusing the scene with magenta and washing out the ghostly figure's reddish hue in The Ghost of Cassiopeia. #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #eck #photography

#Supernova remnant Cassiopeia A between 2022 and 2025. Expansion of the remnant on the upper right. Moving knots on the lower left. Fast changing regions are the light echo from the light of the explosion. #JWST NIRCam F444W images.

Fantastic new visions of the unknown expanses of Nili Planum and the upper Neretva Vallis captured by Perseverance in this 83-images mosaic, acquired Dec. 25 and transmitted only a few hours ago. 🔎 zoom app: zoomhub.net/EpWXX 📷 high res: flic.kr/p/2qCCpLr Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU 🧪🔭 #Mars

This year, I captured double the Clamshell nebula data and stacked it with last year's using my newer filters to reveal more of the glowing cyan/blue oxygen III emission at its center. High-resolution: app.astrobin.com/i/cfw9xl #astrophotography #astronomy #nature #longexposure #eck #photography

So this paper (A. D. Mackey+2012 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1..., section 3.2) finds a 97% probability of the planetary nebula being a cluster member, using the VLT. Cool.

BepiColombo po 8leté cestě je již téměř u cíle. A takhle vypadá jeho trajektorie podle ESA/NAIF JPL podle nejnovějších efemerid z 23.10.2026 s odpovídající mapkou (snad mám Merkur pootočený správně :)).

My first blog, started in 1996, was called Romance to Reality: Moon & Mars Plans. This post, describing a 1966 NASA plan for a hybrid nuclear-thermal/nuclear-electric crewed Mars mission, started on RtR and has evolved and expanded over the decades. spaceflighthistory.blogspot.com/2016/12/nerv...

[HOMMAGE] Le CNRS a appris avec une grande tristesse le décès de Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. Grande figure de la physique atomique et de l’optique quantique mondiales, il a reçu la médaille d’or du CNRS en 1996 et le prix Nobel de physique en 1997. 👉 www.inp.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/...

The #supernova remnant Pa 30 (SN 1181). The only remnant of a type Iax supernova, a white dwarf that exploded (generally called type Ia), but not completely and left a remnant star behind (only happens for type Iax). #JWST MIRI (F770W, F1280W) 🔭 program: www.stsci.edu/jwst-program...

A visit to the Hunter 🏹 Fly to M78, a nebula in the constellation of Orion (the Hunter), just to the upper left of the three stars that form its famous belt. But M78 is no ordinary cosmic cloud: it’s a reflection nebula. What does that mean? Find out: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1635/  🔭

I made a post about dusty proplyds I found in the past with JWST. Not different from the individual posts here on bluesky. isolatedplanetsarchive.wordpress.com/2026/10/18/d...

Rather psychedelic figure from my NSF proposal (a prize to whoever can figure out the mathematical meaning of it just from the figure). Also in the proposal: a plan to do a series of blog posts (at lamington.wordpress.com) on the mathematical content, co-blogged with Claude.
