The full evolution of today’s mesmerising #SolarFlare, which continued for over 12 hours! This is a very long duration event, as most flares are over well within an hour of onset. Just look at those flare loops grow! Awe-some stuff. #spaceweather #astronomy

On Monday, June 3rd, a rare event known as the Parade of Planets will occur, where six planets of the solar system will align in a straight line. They will be visible just before sunrise here in the northern hemisphere.

Watch a timelapse of the current solar activity, filmed from my backyard observatory this morning. The sun is still insanely active, this is all unrelated to the show last week.


Tonight is the final meeting for the 2023-24 season and our AGM. New committee uploading, and planning begins for 2024-25 season! Read more on our website. southcheshireastronomy.wordpress.com

Our earliest, most distant look yet at a black hole merger 👀 Webb detected evidence of a collision between two galaxies and their massive black holes, so far away that we're seeing it as it was when the universe was 740 million years old. More via @ESA: esa.int/Science_Explor…

Take this simulated plunge and dive into the upper atmosphere of Jupiter, the Solar System's ruling gas giant. The awesome animation is based on image data from JunoCam, and the microwave radiometer on board the Jupiter-orbiting Juno spacecraft. Your view will start about 3,000…
