Wasn’t expecting much with the last night’s geomagnetic storm, but seeing the aurora come in on the camera was definitely an “oh shit” moment for me and my wife, especially when it got overexposed. The initial burst in the gif was very noticeable to the naked eye, despite our light pollution. Sadly it died down a bunch, but seems to have come back (although not as strong) after 3am (video timestamp is in UTC). Tonight definitely wont be as strong, but I’m hoping the camera might pick something up on another timelapse. Captured on May 10th, 2024 from Atlanta, GA
Tonight a big solar storm hit the earth, showing aurora at least as far south as Northern Africa. I’m at ‘RACA’, a Belgian astro camp and took this picture with night mode on my Pixel7 phone. The main show lasted well over an hour and traces are still visible now, several hours after the start!
Kcalbeloh mod, but I’ve also got OPM plus the minor planets expansion for OPM. The kcalbeloh mod does add a wormhole near sarnus like in the movie interstellar.
Yes it’s blackrack’s volumetrics. Despite all the clouds I’m still CPU bound, even with a 5800X3D
After years of delays and setbacks, Boeing plans to launch two veteran astronauts to the International Space Station on Monday night aboard its Starliner spacecraft....
They’re still going to launch the 6 operational starliner flights on Atlas V’s, and Amazon has bought several of them for their Kuiper satellite constellation.
Personally I doubt starliner is going to keep flying once the 6 ISS missions are over, regardless of launch vehicle.
Also any and all astro photos are allowed here, regardless of how “low effort” they are (as long as they follow the couple rules on the sidebar. I don’t want there to be any kind of arbitrary minimum quality standard to prevent people from posting their space photos on here.
Finally done with classes and I got some time to at least star processing my pics. Gonna be a while before I figure out all the HDR stuff, so here’s a pic of the prominences about 10 seconds before C3. It was absolutely nutty seeing them naked eye during the eclipse, and visually through my other telescope. Captured on April 8th, 2024 from Sikeston, MO.

The final chapter of the Infinity Saga was directed by Anthony and Joe Russo from a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. The film cost $400 million to make and had an unprecedented opening weekend of $1.2 billion, and would eventually go on to gross $2.8 billion. It briefly became the highest-grossing film of...
The saturation is increased, but looking at the moon through a telescope you can barely see some faint blue/tan colorations that line up with this pic. The blue areas have more titanium minerals and the tan/orange areas have more iron
