Fairly weak aurora display but it'll do. Couple of frames from just before midnight.

🌊 Did you know the ground beneath you quietly rises and falls with the Moon?

Across Earth, the crust can flex by about an inch to nearly a foot on a near twice-daily cycle, a subtle tide in solid rock that human senses do not notice but sensitive instruments routinely detect.

✍️ The article explores how the Moon’s gravity shapes not only ocean tides but these hidden land tides as part of its measurable influence on our planet.

Esta es una gran entrevista a la astrónoma Samantha Lawler. Ella vive en Canadá y es una referente en la lucha contra la contaminación lumínica y las megaconstelaciones de satélites artificiales. Además, está acá en Mastodon como @sundogplanets Este video se merece mucho más circulación, asi que compas del fedi, agradezco que lo impulsen https://tubefree.org/w/c943Cj8uT2jodhGos2Zqu8

This Week’s Sky at a Glance (Feb 20–March 1)

Forecast for us in New England: mostly “meh.” Clouds rule the week, but if you catch a break, look up. Jupiter is blazing high after sunset. Saturn sets early. Orion dominates the evening with Taurus and the Pleiades nearby.

Late winter skies are prime deep-sky season—grab it if you can.

A city-size green comet is now visible in the night sky — but C/2024 E1 (Wierzchoś) is just passing through.

Astronomers say this icy visitor will soon be flung out of our solar system and into interstellar space, much like 3I/ATLAS. Blink and you’ll miss it — once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.

They say shoot for the moon, but I know it's not really recommended for night sky photography. I tried it anyway for curiosity's sake.

🌌 What’s Up This Week (Feb 13–22):
Catch Venus & Mercury low in the west after sunset — binoculars help. Saturn lingers nearby. 🌙 On Feb 18, a thin crescent Moon pairs with Mercury.

After dark, Orion dominates the south, with Sirius blazing below. Great winter sky viewing all week. 🔭

The Arizona landscape at night in black and white. I love that the stars and the land are visible.

New version of my time lapse of the northern lights above Göttingen on the evening of January 20, 2026 (one day after the major show). 74 individual images first reduced in size, then contrast enhanced and brightness reduced, then combined into an animation. 15-minute sequence.

I'm a bit embarrassed at myself because I just want to keep playing this over and over and relive those magic moments 😬

Went out to get a shot of the metor that is supposed to pass the skies today, however I was to late... Did get these thought :) #nightsky #longexposure #stars #photography #wideangle

Dusting off my old telescope and hoping for some clear nights to get a look at Jupiter, while it's so close.

Meanwhile, here's the first moonshot I took with my phone camera through the scope.
