- HF radio interrupted this morning after an X5 solar flare hits Earths ionosphere. #WebSDRtwente
- ISS solar transit this morning 🙂 Castricum (NL) #SeestarS50
- Last year I captured some incredible video of the aurora during the Gannon Solar Storm. Thanks to @raymondkphoto.bsky.social it’s now beautifully edited and brought to life! 🤩 Watch the full video on Youtube: youtu.be/NGR6kUQebkY
- Globular clusters are my favorite objects in the night sky. Just stars. Lots of stars. This one is NGC 6760, a compact cluster containing an estimated 200.000 stars. These stars were born together and have been moving as a group through the Milky Way ever since. 280x10s subs, SeestarS50.
- At the peak it was raining, but I still managed to catch some weak aurora :-D Egmond aan Zee (NL) 0:47 CEST #aurora #poollicht
- There she is! Comet C/2025 F2 (SWAN) 🥰🥰 It was tricky: low on the horizon, light pollution from the city, and even some thin clouds… but I got her! 🥳 (Egmond aan Zee - NL) #SeestarS50

- Reposted by Kees Zwaan 🇺🇦Compilation of the partial solar eclipse, during the maximum at 12:10 about 24% of the sun was covered. It was a bit of a challenge to take the pictures between the clouds. 😊 🔭 #seestar #eclips #solareclips #sun #moon

- Zojuist rond 8 uur boven Egmond: een groot vliegtuig begeleid door 6 straaljagers, van west naar oost. Weet iemand wat dit was? Ik zie ze niet op de radar.
- She's a bit weak, but she's there!! 💃💃 #poollicht #aurora
- Today 10 years ago, March 17 2015: my first BIG aurora!💃 And my first naked eye aurora! It was foggy and humid, but that didn’t spoil the fun. I missed STEVE because I was to focused on the north, but I didn’t know any better back then! 😄 #poollicht #Egmond
