Mimas Global Map - June 2017

This global map of Saturn's moon Mimas was created using images taken during Cassini spacecraft flybys. The moon's large, distinguishing crater, Herschel, is seen on the map at left. The map is an equidistant (simple cylindrical) projection and has a scale of 710 feet (216 meters) per pixel at...

Lightbucket Astro Planner 2.1 is out 🔭 The sky map is now a planning tool: click any object for tonight’s altitude and moon, drag and rotate your rig’s frame, and send it straight to Tonight’s Plan. Each rig gets its own colour, Explore shows span and area at a glance, and your map settings stick. Free for macOS and Windows on GitHub. #astrophotography #astronomy #NINA #deepsky

Some shots of IC63 - The Ghost of Cassiopia, and M31 - Andromeda Galaxy. I captured these on 10/5-6 in between the clouds.

Rosetta Moving Cometary Boulder

A 100 foot-wide (30 meter), 28-million-pound (12.8-million-kilogram) boulder, was found to have moved 460 feet (140 meters) on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in the lead up to perihelion in August 2015, when the comet's activity was at its highest. In both images, an arrow point...

Philae Lander View of Perihelion Cliff on Comet Surface

From the location where it came to rest after bounces, the Philae lander of the European Space Agency Rosetta mission captured this view of a cliff on the nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The feature is called Perihelion Cliff.
