- JWST shakes up the hunt for earliest galaxy cluster A newly discovered galaxy protocluster by JWST doesn't break the cosmic record; it's only the 4th most distant one. But it's the first with hot, X-ray emitting gas, and that means something. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #Xray
- Orion Nebula (M42) acquired January 29th, 2025. Orion is Earth's closest massive star-forming region, a stellar nursery located about 1,300-1,500 light-years away. This was taken over a couple of hours from my front yard in Calgary AB Canada. Seestar S50 is impressive. #astro #astrophotography
- Milkyway nightscape image of Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta Canada. This is the blend of 10 images of the night sky and a long exposure image of the lake and mountains. All were taken July 24, 2025. The jagged mountains in the background are in Glacier Park. #milkyway #waterton #astro
- Its been ages since I've been able to.image anything in the night sky, due to weeks of rain and cloud. Had a brief hour before clouds moved in tonight and got zeroed in on old favourite M42, Orion Nebula #orion #astrophotography #astronomy #seestars50 #astro #nebula
- #astro plot of the week right here! Really interesting work @conairedeagan.bsky.social
- Happy to say that my paper “Inferring hemispheric asymmetries of stellar active regions through the information content of astrometric signals” is on the archive: arxiv.org/abs/2601.11707 It’s about what degeneracies are present (and importantly, what aren’t) in stellar surface mapping
- Aurora visible here last night. The magnetogram shows the time of the CME impact and the video was captured by my NW facing meteor camera. A fast time lapse (sadly in mono) from 22:00 to 23:00. #astro
- The magnetogram showing the CME impact at approximately 2026-01-19 19:20UT. #astro
- Astronomers measured the mass of a free-floating planet without a star for the first time. 🪐 2024 award winner @jackiefmogensen.bsky.social describes a recent breakthrough that could enable further studies of “rogue” planets. Read more: www.scientificamerican.com/article/scie... #scicomm #astro
- Horse head and flame nebulae around the star Alnitak in Orion. This is one of my favorite objects that I image every year. 🔭WO UC 108 📷ASI2600MC-Duo 35×3-min subs #astrophotography #astro
- Quadrantids on Saturday Night were pretty impressive. This is from my NW facing Camera RMS UK00DE from South Cheshire. Ignore the aircraft trails, the software does. #astro #meteor
- Jupiter - last night - 20251219 - 20:53. Seeing 3 and eventually dewed out. #astro #jupiter Edge11HD and ZWO ASI 224MC Camera.
- Year end #SolarCan time. This makes it look like we have had a better autumn than we have really had. #astro #solar
- Virtual Astronomy Software Talks comes early this month! Come (virtually) hear about Julia in Astro tomorrow, with 2 talks focusing on Julia: Paul Barrett: JuliaAstro Paul Tieda: Comrade.jl show starts at 11am US East Coast time vast-seminars.github.io #astro #astrocode

- a NEW PAPER led the incomparable Dr. Elizabeth Iles (accepted by PASA) quantifies how astronomers might be biased in how they judge galactic bars Turns out that male astronomers are consistently more optimistic than their peers when it comes to measuring length arxiv.org/abs/2511.09908 #astro

- One of the many wonderful dark sky locations in Ireland. Orion is visible behind the hut. #photography #ireland #astro
- A notoriously difficult capture with only a handful of us having success after many, many attempts. The tide, swell, weather, moon and MW need to align perfectly and although this image looks calm, being a long exposure, it’s anything but! #astrophotography #astro #nz #landscape #photography
- This is one of my favorite vertical panoramas I have ever shot! It was taken in Southern Patagonia in the heart of Torres del Paine National Park with the Milky Way in the sky above. I shot it at 24mm and combined 5 horizontal images, stacked vertically. #art #photography #astro
- This was my second attempt at my favourite galaxy to image - The Triangulum Galaxy (M33). This had a total integration time of 7 hours and 30 mins over one evening. Feel free to like it and share it if it's your thing. No worries if not! #astronomy #astrophotography #astro #photography #space
