Galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163 in the process of merger 🔥

🚀 Elon Musk together with SpaceX prepared a creative musical greeting with New Year's Eve. It was GREAT! Celebrity🔭

"If there is no God, who put a Christmas tree in space?"
NASA showed a photo of the "Christmas tree in the Universe": the Snowflake Scattered Star Cluster or NGC 2264, located in the constellation Unicorn.

Universal beauty!

The Milky Way on your smartphone: an enthusiast astrophotographer shared his smartphone camera settings for quality night sky photography.

Save to try in the suburbs:

Exposure: +3
Sensitivity reading (ICO): 3200
Shutter speed: 20 seconds
White balance: 5000K
Focus: maximum

A prerequisite before shooting would be a location with low light pollution and a good tripod.

🗓 Mark this date on your calendar: a parade of 6 planets will begin on January 21 and will last +- 4 weeks!

The following planets will participate in the parade: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be seen with the naked eye if you try hard enough - Neptune and Uranus will require a telescope.

The BEST time to observe is 20:30 local time after sunset.

By the end of this decade, Elon Musk and his space company SpaceX plan to conduct the WORLD'S FIRST manned mission to Mars.

The video above is a rough demonstration of the plan coming to fruition.

📡 Since their launch in 2019, Starlink satellites have almost completely occupied the outer layer of the Earth. Their number in orbit is +-6,500 units.

It is worth noting that the average size of Starlink satellites can be compared to a small-sized passenger car or the top of a large dining table, measuring 3×3 meters.

✈️ During the flight, managed to capture a total solar eclipse - it looks amazing from the plane!

A huge coronal hole has been discovered on the Sun - NASA.

This is the most enormous phenomenon in recent years: it covered a quarter of the Sun's circumference. The phenomenon triggered superfast solar winds, which are already heading towards Earth.

What's in store for us:
-Powerful magnetic storms;
- Disruptions in GPS, satellite TV and radio communications;
- Increased symptoms in weather-dependent people (headaches, weakness).

💫 On 21 January there will be a large-scale ‘parade of planets’ when six planets (Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn) will be visible in the sky.

Astrologers recommend to look for planets from 21 to 25 January in the dark time of day. Four of them (except for Uranus and Neptune) can be observed without a telescope.

On 28 February Mercury will join the parade, and all seven planets (except Earth) will be visible in the sky.
