While appearing as a delicate and light veil draped across the sky, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope actually depicts a small section of the Cygnus supernova blast wave, located around 2,400 light-years away. The name of the supernova remnant comes from its position in the northern constellation of Cygnus (the Swan), where it covers an area 36 times larger than the full Moon.

Perseid Meteor Shower 2021 by Jeff Sullivan (https://ift.tt/1cpZOga) On the second best night of the 2021 Perseid meteor shower, one night before peak, we had some luck in this location in Nevada, despite some wildfire smoke.

I’ll have some time-lapse footage available shortly. https://flic.kr/p/2mhjQJg

Happy Solstice 2020!

The evening began with a beautiful sunset:

...though pretty clouds meant Jupiter and Saturn's closest dance was a little fuzzy:

They'd traded places and moved much closer than on Saturday:

This longer Saturday exposure shows Saturn's biggest moon, Titan (arrow), and all four of Jupiter's Galilean moons:

...and here's Jupiter's moons plus Titan (arrow; another arrow points out Amalthea hugging its parent world) tonight:

Happy Great Conjunction Day!

Happy eighth anniversary, rover Curiosity !

Picture Description: NASA's Curiosity rover took this selfie on Oct. 11, 2019, the 2,553rd Martian day, or sol, of its mission.

The rover drilled twice in this location, nicknamed "Glen Etive" (pronounced "glen EH-tiv"). About 984 feet (300 meters) behind the rover, Vera Rubin Ridge rises up. Behind it lies the floor of Gale Crater, which Curiosity is exploring, and the northern rim of the crater. (Text adapted from nasa.gov)
