- NORTHERN LIGHTS - This is one of the strongest solar storms in recent memory! Wow!!! Astronaut’s view from the ISS of a massive red aurora over North America, glowing ionosphere, detailed planetary horizon, NASA photography
- AURORA COLOR GUIDE: If you are seeing red or green these Auroras are at an altitude of 150 mile or higher! Send along and share your reports HERE! ⬇️
- SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND TOMORROW NIGHT! 😲 Northern lights tonight will likely not be visible much further south than Kentucky, but tomorrow, northern lights could be visible as far south as Texas and Georgia. Get those camera ready!
- Extremely rare White Auroras like never before spotted in the skies of Alaska last night👀 🌌✨
- The biggest moon of the year , shot with a 800mm lens yesterday evening above the Cunera Church in Rhenen, when it was rising behind a thin layer of clouds. The moon was about 8% bigger than normal because of its position to the earth.

- UGC 4879 Classified as an irregular dwarf galaxy, UGC 4879 is a little smaller and messier than its cosmic cousins, lacking the majestic swirl of a spiral or the coherence of an elliptical. This galaxy is relatively isolated. Its nearest neighbor is about 2.3 million light-years away! NASA/ESA

- Galaxies, Stars and Dust What an incredible shot! The scene is filled with a faint but extensive cloud of interstellar dust, which reflects starlight from the Milky Way. Diffuse dust is known as galactic cirrus or integrated flux nebulae, and it is associated with the Milky Way's molecular clouds.
- Today, 80% of the world's population lives under light-polluted skies where the Milky Way is no longer visible. This stunning cosmic view, which has inspired humanity for millennia, is slipping away, but we feel it should be accessible to all. Kedar Halbe taken in Zion National Dark Sky Park.

- Incredible dual band (H-alpha + Oxygen III) and RGB panorama of the south celestial pole region over the dunes Namib desert 😍🌌
- Here is an image of the stunning Pleiades Star Cluster in the constellation Taurus. This is a spectacular deep-sky target to photograph using ANY camera. To achieve a result like this, I recommend escaping the perpetual glare of the city to a dark sky spot.
