A nice prominence eruption was observed on Thursday morning off the west limb beginning around 07:00 UTC (July 3). This resulted in a fairly bright coronal mass ejection (CME) that is directed to the west and away from Earth.

The Saturn-mass planet candidate is probably newly formed and orbits a young star that's only 6.4 million years old.

Still a work in progress, but here is my draft of the Crescent Nebula. Processing this particular object has its own unique challenges which are helping me develop my post-processing skills. #astrophotography #astronomy

Ok, guys, this does indeed look like a false alarm. Some bad data was submitted and got sent out on AAVSO's network. Had a follower confirm that T CrB is no where this bright. Its always important to confirm data independently in this field.

Some caution here with T CrB. We might have a nova or it could be bad data. I’m looking for more data for confirmation. #BlazeStar #Astronomy #Astrophotography #Science #DeepSkyPhotography #TCrB

An Emerging Risk To #RadioAstronomy 📡

Using a prototype SKA-Low instrument, a new analysis from @icrar.bsky.social has detected Starlink signals leaking into protected radio bands.

Brief aurora last night visible from north Colorado. See responsible active regions from my solar session earlier in the day.

Here is MoM-z14, the most distant galaxy spectroscopically confirmed to date.

It is an extraordinarily luminous galaxy, discovered by a research team using #JWST, which has broken its previous record.

Research paper➡️ arxiv.org/abs/2505.11263

🔭 🧪 #science #cosmology #Webb
MoM-z14, the most distant galaxy spectroscopically confirmed so far, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope appears as a small, extremely compact object with a reddish color, due to the cosmological redshift, which shifts UV/visible light towards the infrared due to the expansion of the universe.

It looks like we may be getting some good aurora displays in the coming days because this very active region on the Sun. Keep an eye on the aurora forecast.

A long duration eruption reaching the M8+ level is currently in progress around AR 4100 near center disk. This event is likely going to produce a coronal mass ejection. Stay tuned. SolarHam.com
