The crescent moon (and Tau Scorpii τ Sco, or Al Niyat, or Paikauhale) slowly drifts across the frame in this slowed-down video that shows atmospheric seeing subtly distorting the image.

🟤 TIL: #NASA’s #SPHEREx #telescope, launched in March 2025, measured #infrared light across 102 wavelength bands to study 37 #browndwarfs, objects that form like #stars but never ignite fusion.

Their #atmospheres hold #water, #methane, #carbonmonoxide, and #carbondioxide, changing as they cool. Five leading computer models matched broad trends but failed around cloudy transitions, leaving size, mass, and age estimates uncertain.

Countless Brown Dwarfs Drift Through Space Alone. Now, NASA Is Discovering Just How Strange the Atmospheres of These Failed Stars Can Get

Thirty-seven brown dwarfs reveal rich atmospheres and serious gaps in our understanding of their clouds.

#PPOD: More than a century after the first photographs of the Orion Nebula, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope revealed something extraordinary in this familiar stellar nursery: young stars surrounded by gas and dust disks. These structures, known as protoplanetary disks or proplyds, contain material that may eventually assemble into planets. Credit: NASA, C. R. O'Dell, and S. K. Wong (Rice University)

Here we go. My most ambitious processing to date.

The #HelixNebula (aka #C63 , aka #NGC7293 ) is probably the closest planetary nebula to Earth.

This image is created from subframes taken with my #Dwarf3 over 2 years and 18 sessions. I started with 4791 frames, 3816 ended up being stacked. A total of over 55 hours of observing time. Most of which I slept through. It took nearly 10 hours to stack inside the telescope itself.

In amongst the Ha/OIII frames there is also one 3 hour session of SII/OIII, which brings the blue out a bit more.

Restacked using the Dwarflab onboard Megastack, then post processed in their cloud Stellar Studio. Final recombining and tuning in #Snapseed .

New milestone reached 🥳

Nearly 500 segments of the main mirror of our Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) have now arrived from Europe at the ELT Technical Facility at our Paranal Observatory in #Chile. That is around half of all the segments being made for what will become a 39-metre eye on the sky.

What a cosmic coincidence! In today’s image, Mars joins the Beehive cluster below an auroral curtain and above a horizon of happy little trees near Lansjärv, Sweden.

🧊 NEWS: The 2026 #Nobel prize in #physics went to physicist Francis Halzen for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the detection of high-energy #neutrinos from #space.

Built into a cubic kilometer of Antarctic #ice at the #SouthPole, IceCube uses 5,160 optical sensors to catch faint flashes when neutrinos collide with atomic nuclei, letting researchers trace #particles back to distant cosmic sources.

Massive antenna, silent mirror 📡

The 15-metre diameter surface of the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope (SEST) reflects the dark night sky over ESO's La Silla Observatory in #Chile , coloured here by the faint natural airglow coming from atoms in our atmosphere.

While no longer in operation, SEST was one of a kind at the time of its first light in 1987. Discover why: eso.org/public/images/potw2641…

#PPOD: Galaxies warp, stretch, and multiply across this view from NASA’s JWST. The golden galaxies belong to the massive galaxy cluster MACS J0454.1-0300, seen as it was about 8 billion years ago. The cluster’s enormous gravity bends spacetime and distorts light from even more distant galaxies behind it, creating the arcs and repeated images seen throughout the field.

🔴 NEW: A 1,600 km (1,000 mi) long cloud forms above #Mars’ #ArsiaMons volcano nearly every morning in spring and summer, then evaporates within hours.

New simulations show wind rising over the 19 km (12 mi) peak cools so fast that water vapor freezes directly into #ice crystals, skipping the dust particles that trigger cloud formation on #Earth. This homogeneous nucleation had never been observed in a planetary #atmosphere.

1,000-mile-long cloud that forms and vanishes on Mars every day obeys 'exotic physics' never seen on Earth

New simulations suggest that the perplexing Arsia Mons Elongated Cloud (AMEC) repeatedly emerges in the Red Planet's skies thanks to a never-before-seen meteorological process.

A little sneak preview.

One of my ongoing projects is the supernova remnant around the Bow Tie Nebula (NGC 40). I captured an hour each of RGB just for the stars, but the Bow Tie still shows up and it looks cool.

Fresh capture: here's my latest Saturn, shot in infrared at 685 nm on October 4, 2026 from Koblenz.

▼ Vixen VC200L | QHY 5-III-462C

The higher frame rate and the IR-based luminance channel made a real difference. Lucky imaging with a 2.5x Powermate at 4500 mm, f/22.5. A clear step forward for me, though the community sets a high bar.

64 years old and still staying up all night 🌟 🔭

But OK, that comes with the job we have been doing since ESO was founded #OTD in 1962.

That's six decades (and a little more!) of exploring the cosmos. We’re nowhere near done, but we'll surely find a moment today for a slice of birthday cake 🍰

Captured by ALMA, this image of galaxy M83 depicts the light emitted by cold gas molecules, the ingredients of star formation. Images like this one allow us to map how the density and temperature of these gas clouds change in different locations within a galaxy. And in turn, understand whether stars form differently in different galactic environments.

What happens when amateur astronomers help uncover thousands of previously unknown brown dwarfs? 🔭

In this episode of the SETI Live podcast, Dr. Adam Schneider explains how volunteers with NASA's Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project contributed to the discovery of roughly 3,000 brown dwarfs — and why around 60 citizen scientists earned co-author credit on the research.
