“The rings are now becoming quite visible, as they were difficult to see during its past two oppositions.”
Slooh member Stephen Aman wrote that about his image of Saturn, captured on October 2 through Slooh’s Canary Four telescope, during the planet’s 2026 opposition.
Opposition is when Saturn sits opposite the Sun in our sky, which makes it a favorable time to observe. In his words, it is “the best time to capture planets.”

Murriex pointed a Slooh telescope at the Tarantula Nebula, a glowing cloud in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 160,000 light years away.
“I really like the purple tones in this image.”

October is officially stargazing season! 🌌✨ If you love looking at the night sky, this month has some amazing celestial treats lined up for us:
The Draconids (Oct 8–9): Unlike most showers, this one is best viewed right after sunset. Even better? The moon will be nearly invisible, giving us perfectly dark skies to spot shooting stars!
Saturn All Night: The ringed planet is putting on a show, staying visible from sunset all the way until sunrise.
The Orionids (Oct 21–22): This famous shower is made of leftover debris from Halley’s Comet. While a bright moon might hide the fainter meteors, the fast-moving fireballs are still worth watching.
Which event are you most excited for? Make sure you log into Slooh for your chance to see these celestial events!

Today kicks off World Space Week, a global celebration of space science, technology, exploration, and the people who keep asking, “What’s next?”
This year’s theme, Rocket Revolution, celebrates the changing landscape of space exploration and the growing number of people, organizations, and technologies helping us reach beyond Earth.
At Slooh, we believe exploration isn’t limited to astronauts.
Sometimes, it starts with simply looking up 🌟

Slooh member Lennox aimed our Canary Islands telescope at Jupiter and wrote, in their own words:
"this is a very cool picture of Jupiter that is vary clear picture and if you look closely you can see some of the moons"
A person, choosing to look up, catching the biggest planet in the solar system and its moons on their own screen. Look closely, the moons are there.

Slooh member RyanConley watched Venus through our telescope in Chile and wrote, in their own words:
"It is interesting to me how Venus looks like a crescent in this picture... there is complete darkness everywhere around Venus."
They caught it at the perfect moment. Right now Venus is at its greatest brilliancy of 2026, a crescent that looks bigger in a telescope than it does near full. Step out just after sunset, look low to the west, and go see it.

"Run Run as Fast as You Can, You can't catch me. I'm in the night sky above as the Running Man Nebula (NGC 1977). Who among us longs to keep pace with the Running Man?"

Our favorite galaxies take center stage ⭐️🪐
As we transition from summer nights, September is one of the best times for deep sky targets. As the Milky Way transitions, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) takes its place center stage in the northeast, and right next to it is the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). Crisp, cool fall air means excellent sky transparency.

The Running Man Nebula is NGC 1977, a beautiful reflection nebula in the constellation Orion, just north of the Orion Nebula (M42)

"This dune field is known as Erg Chebbi, located in southeastern Morocco. The erg, a broad, flat area of desert is covered by a large accumulation of wind-blown sand and massive sand dunes, with little vegetation. What intrigued me was a mention of Erg Chebbi's Star Dunes and I decided to search for these using Sentinel 2 data. These dunes form where the wind blows from different directions. To the east of Erg Chebbi is a flat rocky plateau known as a hamada (Hamada du Guir) The top layer is made of hard limestone and bare stone. Strong winds have blown away almost all the sand. The spidery patterns suggest an era, millions of years ago when the Sahara was much wetter. I was amazed at the detail in this image. " -- Slooh Member Carol Botha
