Venus and the Pleiades on 4th April. I pushed the processing on this one a bit to show the nebulosity around Merope and Maia. This is a stack of 32x10s images. Full details on Flickr flic.kr/p/2iM1RUA #Venus #Pleiades #astronomy #stargazing

We're super excited for #Apollo50th next weekend. In the meantime, here's a cool visualization that shows you the Moon phase and the location of all of the human landings on the Moon. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4731

Mercury has been well placed the last few evenings low in the west after sunset. Should be readily visible for a few more evenings. flic.kr/p/2eRrPC5 #astronomy #mercury #stargazing

Now a reminder on the validity of occultation to derive the shape and size of asteroids, even distant ones. On July 17 a large group of astronomers observed an occultation by Ultima Thule from Senegal and Colombia. The chords impressively match the shape model of the TNO. – at Park City, UT

This EPIC image reveals a close-up view of today's @SpaceX #HeavyFalcon rocket launch from @NASAKennedy, 18-year-old photog @johnkrausphotos made this breathtaking photo: xitter.cf/johnkrausphotos/status…
27 Merlin engines power #SpaceX’s #FalconHeavy off LC-39A for the first time, carrying @elonmusk’s Tesla Roadster to space. Wow. — johnkrausphotos.com / @observer

What a stunning sight Earth & Moon must be from Venus currently. Nearly at opposition, mag -6 Earth & up to 1/2 degree away mag -4 moon!
