Pictures of Uranus taken at different times 🪐

An image of the surface of Venus

Wow, have you ever seen anything like this before? An enthusiastic photographer climbed high above the sea and captured an INCREDIBLE phenomenon that cannot be seen from the ground - the full rainbow effect.

The myth of treasure at the end of the rainbow is finally dispelled 🤔

👨‍🚀 Crew-6 mission astronaut Sultan Al-Neyadi filmed the moment SpaceX's Dragon Endeavor spacecraft flew over the ISS!

Scientists filmed a 24h timelapse in Antarctica to change the minds of flat-earthers

Polar scientists showed that the Sun does not set over the horizon for 24 hours, and this proves the round shape of the Earth.

The conspiracy theorists' response killed: they called the clip computer graphics.

The rotation rates of the planets around their axis relative to the stars (sidereal days) 🌍

Planets rotate because they were formed from moving material. Momentum must be conserved, so the planets acquired their own rotation.

The bigger the planet, the more material it took to create it. And the more material, the greater the rate of rotation. (Note the rotation rate of Jupiter, Saturn).

A collage of images taken on the surface of different solar system bodies: the Moon, Venus, Mars, Titan (Saturn's satellite) and Earth.

☀️ Betelgeuse is a bright and one of the closest giant stars in the left shoulder of the constellation Orion.

Some interesting facts about the star:

- Betelgeuse is 1000 times (!) larger in diameter than our Sun!

- If it were located in place of our Sun, - Earth, Mars and Jupiter would have long been gone - the star would have completely swallowed them up.

- Scientists make predictions about the death of the star in the next 2-3 thousand years - at the peak of its explosion, which will last +- two months, the luminosity of Betelgeuse will exceed solar in (!) 1050 and more times - the death can be observed from Earth with the naked eye.

To your attention: a rough animation of the Betelgeuse explosion from Earth.

This is what a painted moon looks like! NASA has shared an image of the satellite obtained from Galileo.

The unusual colours in the photo indicate the diversity of the soil:

🔴 - lunar uplands
🔵 - presence of titanium in the soil
🟠 - volcanic activity

🚀 If you ever get lost in the Milky Way galaxy, this map will help you get back to Earth.

🌎 How we think planets move around the sun vs How it really happens:

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.
