The Beehive Cluster, an open cluster with nearly 1,000 stars. It's a barely naked eye object I remember to watch with binoculars or a small telescope when I was a child.
Many years later, I did this image with Jaume Zapata from the 'Anysllum' observatory with our second setup!

Remembering the 1989 trip of Voyager 2 and its flyby over Neptune.
See these wonderful images by Voyager 2:
left, Neptune with an enormous storm.
Right, a detailed image of its bigger moon, Triton.

The starburst galaxy M82, situated 12 million light-years far, has been imaged by the infrared detectors of JWST.
In these images we can see only part of its nucleus: the red filaments are caused by the galactic wind from the star formation areas:

NGC 1512 is a barred spiral galaxy located 30 million light-years away.
It spans 70,000 light-years, nearly as much as our own Milky Way galaxy.
Image done with the near-infrared camara of JWST. See the sharp details of its inner structure:

Incredible Mercury:
Heavily cratered and geologically inactive for billions of years. Its surface temperature is between -173 °C at night to 427 °C during the day.
Mercury's core, plenty of iron, is almost 85% of the planetary radius.

The cultural gap between humans and ETs could be absolutely huge. The communication with them, if one day will be possible, will be very very difficult.
May be more difficult than the cultural gap between british an americans...

There are clouds of intergalactic low-metallicity gas approaching the Milky Way. They interact and exchange momentum with the high-metallicity galactic halo gas: a source of pristine gas from outside the Galaxy! tinyurl.com/93j86z6j

How is possible a so small object as Pluto dwarf planet has an atmosphere?
See here the pluto haze imaged by New Horizons probe!

Despite the clouds, several members of @AstroSabadell could see the total eclipse!!
Congrats Toni Selva, Carles Schnabel, Josep M Drudis, Jaume Fernandez and others!!!

Wonderful video about NGC3077 with an incredible image done by my friend Lluis Romero, Astrotolva, member of @AstroSabadell.
Open the sound and enjoy!

The fourth exoplanet transit observed with Jaume Zapata from “Anysllum”, our remote observatory!

Detected a gap of only 7 thousandths of magnitude! It’s a “Neptune-like” planet orbiting a “K-type star” with a period of only 3.5 days.
Not a good choice to spend holidays there…

In our galaxy, between stars there are just vacuum… or not!
If you do a long exposure image from a dark sky and you process it with the talented hands of @Jaume_zapata you detect huge amounts of gas & dust.
And beyond that the galaxies M81 & M82 (Anysllum Obs. J.Zapata & X.Bros)

Bodies in the Universe:
Small asteroid -> Asteroid/comet -> dwarf planet -> planet -> brown dwarf -> dwarf red star -> medium star -> giant star -> supergiant star…
It’s more a CONTINUUM than a categorial organization!

Wonderful comet 12P by Joan Oliver via astroterrassa
Amazing!!

Is it possible to image #Neptune & #Triton from the #Saturn orbit? Yes! #NASA #Cassini probe did 7 years ago, 2017, August 10th.
Nice view !
