  13. Oh jesus, there’s more? Yes, there is. I also made the rooftop :seestar_s30: stare at an asteroid again.

    This time it was 192 Nausikaa, a main belt asteroid about 85 kilometers across.

    Discovered in Pula, Istria. Which is a lovely place.

    It’s a tricky one to spot. It’s the tiny faint dot about 5 pixels below the bright-ish star in the center. It is very slowly moving up, toward that star.

    About an hour and a half of 60 second snaps.

    Explanation:
    One of our Solar System's most tantalizing worlds, Enceladus is backlit by the Sun in this Cassini spacecraft image from November 1, 2009. The dramatic illumination reveals the plumes that continuously spew into space from the south pole of Saturn's 500 kilometer diameter moon. Discovered by Cassini in 2005, the icy plumes are likely connected to an ocean beneath the ice shell of Enceladus. They supply material directly to Saturn's outer, tenuous E ring and make the surface of Enceladus as reflective as snow. Across the scene, Saturn's icy rings scatter sunlight toward Cassini's cameras. Beyond the rings (lower right), the night side of 80 kilometer diameter moon Pandora is faintly lit by Saturnlight.

  24. Gemini North image of Arp 84, also known as NGC 5394 and NGC 5395.

    Past interactions between this galaxy pair created the bright ring and inner spiral arms seen in the smaller, distorted spiral NGC 5394. Over time, much of the gas that was originally in the ring was pulled into the central region where it is fueling a burst of star formation.

  26. 🛰️ The reason is simple: EXPOSURE TIME + EQUIPMENT COST! Observatories capture photons in their lenses MUCH longer than video cameras, which thieves don't usually bother with! What's more, and this will SURPRISE YOU, the price of a single observatory is only slightly higher than that of a Chinese security camera that was last cleaned a decade ago…
