Komet C/2023 A3 über Wanfried
Endlich noch eine sternklare Nacht erwischt um Komet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS zu fotografiieren. Leider ist er mit bloßem Auge nicht mehr zu erkennen.

APOD: Planet Earth from Orion (2022 Nov 17)

Explanation: A Space Launch System rocket left planet Earth on Wednesday, November 16 at 1:47am EST carrying the Orion spacecraft on the Artemis 1 mission, the first integrated test of NASA’s deep space exploration systems. Over an hour after liftoff from Kennedy Space Center's historic Launch Complex 39B, one of Orion's external video cameras captured this view of its new perspective from space. In the foreground are Orion's Orbital Maneuvering System engine and auxillary engines, at the bottom of the European Service Module. Beyond one of the module's 7-meter long extended solar array wings lies the spacecraft's beautiful home world. The Artemis 1 mission will last almost four weeks, testing capabilities to enable human exploration of the Moon and Mars. The uncrewed Orion spacecraft is expected to fly by the Moon on November 21, performing a close approach to the lunar surface on its way to a retrograde orbit 70,000 kilometers beyond the Moon.

Amazing 😃

🌟 A star is born!

Behind the curtain of dust and gas in these “Cosmic Cliffs” are previously hidden baby stars, now uncovered by Webb. We know — this is a show-stopper. Just take a second to admire the Carina Nebula in all its glory: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/

Webb’s new view gives us a rare peek into stars in their earliest, rapid stages of formation. For an individual star, this period only lasts about 50,000 to 100,000 years.

Our latest Picture of the Week features a snapshot the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1351, captured in this image by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys. This galaxy cluster lies in the constellation Ursa Major in the northern hemisphere.

Save the date 👍☀️

You have a date with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. On July 12, the first full color images and spectroscopic data from the world's most powerful observatory will be revealed: https://go.nasa.gov/3m47VwF

It's time to .

Amazing 😃

The Solar Orbiter completed its closest approach to the Sun yet and the images and videos are outstanding. And it's only getting started.
