Why did the astronomer refuse dessert?
Through Sky at Night magazine I've received a link to purchase a DWARF mini smart telescope. It's not cheap but I wonder if anyone has tried one. 🔭 🧪 dwarflab.com/en-gb/produc...
I'm looking forward to the day/night when we can take a picture of the Moon knowing there's people on its surface. Hopefully soon. Not this year though. 🔭 🧪 #astrophotography
T-1️⃣0️⃣ days to launch! Got questions about the Smile mission? 🛰️ #askESA We will select some of your questions to answer live during the launch broadcast on 9 April, and address the others right here. 🔭 🧪 ☀️
These two orbs have little in common beyond their shape. The one farthest from the camera is our Moon, and the other is one of the three ExTrA telescopes at our La Silla Observatory. What is ExTrA looking for? 👉 https://www.eso.org/public/images/potw2613a/ 🔭 🧪 📷 L. Sbordone/ESO

We can't wait to rock out the show with you, @NASARoman! 🤩 Together, we'll usher in an exciting new era of cosmic discovery.
Amaze amaze amaze! Webb teamed up with @NASAHubble, observing the ringed planet in complementary wavelengths of light to give us a richer, more layered understanding of its atmosphere. https://t.co/RJrz4Xd6Qw https://t.co/6ivoSELu6S
Delighted to see our WISPIT team announce the second directly imaged exoplanet from the WISPIT 2 system! Led by Chloe Lawlor (Galway) with Richelle van Capelleveen (Leiden), we also have a spectrum of the inner, more massive planet, showing carbon monoxide features. ☄ #exoplanet #astrodon https://ww...
Is it just me or is that galaxy getting closer? 👀 M90 (NGC 4569), shown here in this new Webb image, is indeed getting closer! Its orbit through the Virgo cluster has accelerated so much that M90 is in the process of escaping the cluster entirely and is moving in our direction. https://t.co/luJwJh...
Webb captured this new image of galaxy Messier 58, in both the near and mid-infrared, as part of a treasury of 55 massive, star-forming galaxies. The data on the properties of these galaxies will add insight to our picture of how galaxies grow and evolve over cosmic time. https://t.co/7vWkSbZCj4

Here is a problem that has been quietly gnawing at astronomers for decades.The standard approach to detecting #life on other worlds involves scanning #exoplanet #atmospheres for #oxygen, #methane, and #ozone, whose presence is difficult to explain without #biology.It's a clever idea, but it carries ...
A brain-new image from Webb! 🧠 What looks like a brain is actually a dying star blowing off a shell of gas, and within that shell, a cloud of various gases. The dark lane that divides its “hemispheres” may be related to an outflow from the central star. https://t.co/8nsbVh0EKg https://t.co/6yXmC3...
