My sharpest yet view of the ISS

My sharpest yet view of the ISS

Just a few days ago the ISS was doing its closest past to my location I’ve ever seen, so I took my 114mm AZ newtonion spherical mirror reflector out, with a t ring adapter and a Canon 77d attached set to video mode, out into my backyard.

Wow wee, wow wow! JWST just keeps raising more questions than it's answering--& that's a good thing! JWST discovered that the toddler galaxy, GS-z13-1--which existed just 330 million years after the Big Bang--had ionized the ancestral neutral hydrogen that surrounded it allowing its light to transverse the universe & reach JWST. According to present hypothesis, that's incredibly early for a galaxy to have done that. https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Webb/Webb_sees_galaxy_mysteriously_clearing_fog_of_early_Universe

The lasers our Very Large Telescope (VLT) pierce the Milky Way… but what is that vertical glow just below? 🤔

That’s the zodiacal light: caused by dust grains in the Solar System, it's so faint that it’s only visible in the darkest skies, such as those of Chile’s Atacama Desert.

And the pristine night sky 🌌 in this region has always been intertwined with the culture and traditions of its indigenous people, discover how: https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2511a/

A vertical image of the night sky. The Milky Way – a dense band of stars and dark dust lanes – crosses the sky diagonally. Four yellow laser beams coming from outside of the image converge towards the bright core of the Milky Way. The zodiacal light – a white, diffuse and faint smudge of light – stretches vertically from the horizon.

Planetary party portrait above Paranal!

In this image, taken in early February, the planets of the Solar System appear to parade one after the other above our Paranal Observatory in #Chile. Joining the party are the #Moon, the #MilkyWay, and a special guest: comet C/2024 G3 ☄️

A question we often get is whether the planets orbit the Sun in the same plane as the disc of the Milky Way. This image shows that's not the case: the plane of the Solar System –the ecliptic– is tilted about 60º relative to the Milky Way.

The image is a circular fisheye projection, with the horizon around the circular edge and the highest part of the sky at the centre of the circle. It shows eight telescope domes around the edge. The moon lights the telescopes and the desert from behind, creating a haze across, but above it the sky is pretty dark and full of stars. Our Milky Way galaxy –– an arc made dense by white points and hues of pink and purple –– crosses the image vertically. Several planets, which look like dots, appear aligned more or less horizontally across the sky. The image is marked with text for white points of interest, including the Milky Way, planets and comet C/2024 G3, which looks like the streak of a shooting star, blazing white.

🚨 2024 YR4 asteroid impact update!

New observations of 2024 YR4 conducted with ESO’s Very Large Telescope and facilities around the world have all but ruled out an impact of the #asteroid with our planet. The asteroid has been closely monitored in the past couple of months as its odds of impacting Earth in 2032 rose to around 3%, the highest impact probability ever reached for a sizable asteroid. After the latest observations, the odds of impact dropped to nearly zero.

#introduction Hi everyone. My main interest is #Astrophysics, which I worked on until I retired recently. Also #music, especially #hippy, but I don't despise any of it.

I'm just bouncing off Twitter, things are getting unbearable there. I haven't looked around here much yet. Can anyone tell me if there's anything on the free web that invites optimism in such bad times? @FediTips

1/ We have to agree with astronomer David H. Levy here: "Comets are like #cats : they have tails, and they do precisely what they want."

Since you loved the images of #comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) that we shared recently, here are some more, taken from our Paranal Observatory in #Chile. This lovely #BlackAndWhite image was taken by our colleague Juan Beltrán, an engineer at Paranal.

This black and white picture shows a small telescope and a large portion of the night sky. At the forefront, the silhouette of a small telescope reveals its small dome and central structure. Besides it stands a man, wearing a hood. The background of the picture shows the night sky, although only a few stars are visible, as well as a few short white strikes which indicate moving objects. The ’star’ of this composition, though, is the comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS), which covers most of the frame and looks like a giant feather in the sky (or a bushy cat’s tail). The core of the comet (its tip) is bright white, while its tail becomes more diffuse as you go away from the core.

[Atmosphere, atmosphere ... ] 33,000 km/h, i.e. 9 km/sec! This is the speed of the #winds in the jet stream that encircles the equator of #exoplanet WASP-127b, a gas giant located some 520 light-years from Earth. Molecules of water vapor and carbon monoxide were also detected within this planetary #atmosphere.

The extreme meteorological conditions prevailing on the surface of WASP-127b were deduced from measurements made using the CRIRES+ instrument installed on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) of the @esoastronomy (ESO).

#astronomy #astrophysics #exoplanet
This artist’s visualisation of WASP-127b, a giant gas planet located about 520 light-years from Earth, shows its newly discovered supersonic jet winds that move around the planet’s equator. With a speed of 9 km per second (33 000 km/h), this is the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured in the Universe. By tracking the speed of molecules in the atmosphere with the CRIRES+ instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope, researchers found that one side of the planet’s atmosphere is moving towards us and the other away from us. This indicates that there is a powerful wind current going around the planet. Credit:ESO/L. Calçada

If you're reading this from exoplanet WASP-127b, today's #weather forecast is winds of 33 000 km/h, so you may want to stay inside!

1/ Using our Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummelling the equator of the giant gas exoplanet WASP-127b, 500 light-years away.

➡️ https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2502/

Reaching speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet.

In comparison, the fastest wind ever measured in the Solar System was found on Neptune, moving at 1800 km/h.

How did they do it? Keep reading...

Artist's impression by ESO/L. Calçada

#astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics #space #science
Artist’s impression showing WASP-127b, a giant gas planet. The planet takes up almost the full frame, with its atmosphere showing whirling motion all over the planet. Wispy ripples of blueish white mixed with orange imply motion, with white being the dominant colour at the equator and the planet’s poles, and a band of more orange-red between them. In the black background are some tiny white stars.

#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! We’re the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.

One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!

We’re looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy

The giant metal frame of a dome takes up most of the picture frame, contrasting with the brown hills and a thin horizontal line of blue sky in the background. The dome's frame is not yet fully covered in the middle, so the dark brown landscape behind it shows. The big opening in the dome's roof shows the interior, still a construction site with a structure of white beams. In front of the big building is one red crane, taller than the dome.
