March Lunar eclipse

Back in March, had the chance to bring out my small telescope to see the eclipse better. I only had my phone to take photos and this is probably the best i can get with my shaky hands

Does anyone play CUE? I'm willing to trade quite highly for this new card

I have loads of good dupes

Spaceship!

Me: "Can I touch it?" Security: "No, sir." Me: "Just one finger?" Securoty: "Nope."

🌌⏳ DID YOU KNOW?

Some of the stars you see tonight… may already be dead. Light doesn’t travel instantaneously. When you look at a star 500 light-years away, you’re seeing the light that left it 500 years ago. If that star disappeared today, Earth wouldn’t know for another 500 years. And the farther into space… read more

Stars!

Probably my favorite capture of the night sky while still technically within the city. Taken on Dec. 24 2024 with my phone at the time. I was straining to see the pleiades (in the top-left corner) with the naked eye but just this photo catching so much was amazing

I'm super excited about the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope!!

I haven't had this much hope for astronomy since the JWST was launched. I really hope the NASA budget cuts stop... there's so much to know beyond our skies. I can't help but think about what amazing things the NGR will find in the coming months and years.

Solar Eclipse 2026

I visited Mallorca this year to capture the solar eclipse from up a mountain. Unfortunately I had some clouds coming by near the totality.

Artemis II

NASA launched the first manned mission to the moon in over 50 years. Artemis II, successful launch!! The crewed mission to the moon departed after 50 years.

DID YOU KNOW? ☀️🌑

If the Sun suddenly disappeared, Earth wouldn’t know for about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. Then everything would begin to change. 8 minutes: The Sun vanishes from our sky. Earth stops following its orbit and continues through space roughly along the direction it was traveling. Within days: Global… read more

A late night out watching shooting stars, just happens to catch Andromeda 🌌

Last Night 🚀🔭✨

Merry Christmas, even in space🎄

DID YOU KNOW? 🌌💀

There’s a neutron star called PSR J1748−2446ad that spins 716 times every second. That’s more than 42,000 rotations per minute. It packs roughly the mass of the Sun into an object only tens of kilometers across. At its equator, the surface is moving at roughly a quarter of the speed of… read more

Tonight

The stars and planets out for a night of mysticism and wonder

Here's my shot

Partial Blood Full Moon in Pisces, taken at peak coverage, 12:12 am EDT, August 28th.

⏳ Waiting for Midnight 11pm

Hey

Very new here so hello. Enjoy this photo I took of the eclipse the other day 😅😊

Space stuff is cool stuff

So, so cool.

Rockets!

Gotta love space! (edited)

Astrophotography practise

One of my proudest pictures so far, capturing Jupiter through my telescope just using my phone camera - the night sky is so deeply, endlessly beautiful 😍

Picture I took of the stars from my back garden 😋

SPAACCEEE

Seeing the moon this closely and with this much detail is always a surreal experience. It looks 10x better in person too. I love my telescope

Space 🔥

A new frontier.....

Shooting star 💫

One of the perks of work...

Hey there! So, I work at NASA, and one cool thing that happened recently was that I got to watch live coverage of the Artemis II splashdown from my office. I'd say that qualifies as a perk, wouldn't you? 😉

The view from Artemis II💜

Orion's Belt

My street has minimal lights at night, no zoom, no effects, Pixel 10 Pro

DID YOU KNOW? 🪐

On Mercury, one sunrise to the next lasts about 176 Earth days. But Mercury completes an entire orbit around the Sun in only 88 Earth days. That means that between one sunrise and the next… two Mercurian years have already passed. 🤯 You could celebrate two birthdays before seeing the next… read more

Our lovely moon

Would you believe me if i told you i took these on a galaxy s24 thats been dropped 100s of times?

Jupiter

My first post of view

DID YOU KNOW? 🪐

There’s a planet where scientists think it may rain molten glass — sideways. The exoplanet HD 189733 b has extreme winds estimated at thousands of kilometers per hour, and observations suggest its atmosphere contains silicate particles. Those particles could condense into glass-like droplets. So… read more

Lunar Halo

Couple days ago I got lucky when I decided to look up at the moon. Apologies for the camera since it couldn't zoom out any further but in person it was cool to see. It also almost looked like a giant ufo in person (edited)

Mt Hood in the distance

I love doing astrophotography! if you always kind of photography I'll be sure to post more in the future
