Op 12 december zal de beroemde ster Betelgeuze kortstondig aan het zicht onttrokken worden wanneer deze achter de planetoïde 319 Leona schuift.

On Monday night / Tuesday morning, this dim #asteroid Leona will #occult the bright star #Betelgeuse in parts of Europe and Africa, potentially blocking ALL its light for several seconds. This picture taken with eVscope by @unistellar

If Putin takes Ukraine, he won't stop there. It’s not just Ukraine v. Russia. It’s right v. wrong. It’s democracy v. autocracy. Ukraine's fight is our fight.

Jupiter tonight with the C11 and the QHY200M camera. Turbulent seeing with a few ok patches. But I'm always happy if I can see a few small storms and a bit of detail inside the shrinking Great Red Spot. 🔴 #astrophotography

Just received in the post: the January 2024 issue of @SkyandTelescope Magazine that contains the article that Jessica Heim and I wrote about light pollution activism and lighting policy advances. Having a byline in a magazine that I read as a kid is a real bucket-list item.
