I want to preserve the beauty & integrity of our night skies. Focusing mainly on raising awareness about the effects of light pollution, not only on astronomy but also on wildlife, human health & energy waste. - Dr Chris Spencer (aka @PixelatedDad)
60 seconds of today’s solar activity in hydrogen alpha. A huge prominence is lifting off the limb.

My night sky camera caught this over Nottinghamshire just now, apparently a rocket fuel dump? Looks like the whirlpool galaxy way closer than it should be! Someone messing with our render distance? 🤣🤣 #astro

I’ve just been reviewing my night sky camera. I believe I caught the fireball over Nottinghamshire in the UK reported in the news early hours of the 19th Feb at 03:44 (about 10 seconds in on this video) the news seems to say it’s a booster re-entering and burning up Is that true? 😬 #astro #cool
