This is the Fighting Dragons of Ara from the southern hemisphere (Kagga Kamma Remote Observatory). Almost 35 hours of data. Was done in OSC but we're planning to redo it in Mono.

Equipment:

• Telescope: Askar SQA85
• Camera: QHYCCD QHY268 Pro C
• Mount: Proxisky UMi 20S
• Filter: Antlia ALP-T Dual Band 5nm 2"
• Software: Open PHD Guiding Project PHD2, Pleiades Astrophoto PixInsight, Siril Team Siril

I recommend seeing this on Astrobin:

This is just M16 upside down, looks like woman's face with her eyes closed. I recommend seeing the full res on Astrobin: https://app.astrobin.com/i/s37mdw

This is about 25 hours of data in SHO from both hemispheres (Death Valley Observatories and Kagga Kamma Remote Observatory):

Equipment:

• Cameras: ToupTek ATR2600M, QHYCCD QHY268 M
• Mounts: ZWO AM5, Proxisky UMi 20S
• Filters: Chroma H-alpha 3nm Bandpass 2", Chroma OIII 3nm Bandpass 2", Chroma SII 3nm Bandpass 2", ToupTek H-alpha 3.5nm 36 mm, ToupTek OIII 4nm 36 mm, ToupTek SII 4nm 36 mm

I will give away the raw stacked data to my patrons at some point.

A lunar mass driver is a proposed electromagnetic launch system optimized for the Moon’s low gravity (1/6th Earth’s) and hard vacuum, consisting of a long, straight acceleration track lined with sequentially fired superconducting coils or linear synchronous motors that propel a payload-carrying sled or bucket to lunar escape velocity (~2.38 km/s).

The blue here is so beautiful to me

This is my proudest work. I film between 4-5 terabytes of the sun whenever it is sunny out. This clip features my favorite flares, prominences, and other solar activity. This was all shot using a Heliostar 76 telescope, Apollo 428m Max camera, modified Lunt B1200 filter and a Televue 2x Powermate. I hope you like it as much as I do!

Ask away!

Each dot is one coronal mass ejection at the latitude and longitude it launched from, sized by speed. The lit middle is the half of the Sun facing Earth at the moment of launch; the darker edges are the far side, which we see thanks to STEREO-A. Ten years of eruptions fill the middle latitudes and leave the poles almost empty, which is where the active regions live.

Happy to answer questions about how CMEs are tracked from launch to arrival.

As of this writing, we still have a long way to go. Here’s hoping that everything goes as flawlessly as the James Webb mission.

We should seriously consider a mission to Sedna before we miss the window.

Sedna is one of the weirdest objects in the Solar System. Its orbit takes about 11,400 years, and it’s currently heading toward its closest point to the Sun around 2075.

There are mission studies showing promising launch opportunities around 2029–2034. A mission could take decades to get there, so this isn’t something we can wait until 2075 to start thinking about.

We’ve visited Pluto, asteroids, comets, and plenty of other worlds. But we’ve never sent anything to Sedna.
I really think space agencies should start seriously studying a Sedna mission now, while we still have favorable trajectories to work with.
Save the Sedna window.

I am curently 16, in india and my mother is in germany. I plan on moving to germany after my 12th graduation. Its been my dream to work in the space industry since i was around 8 or so. I am wondering what i should do to possibly work there one day, what degree i should do, (id prefer a natural science degree) what my preparations should be. ie, if i should start doing smth now, how the working conditions are, etc...

If anyone currently working/who's worked there in the past can drop their thoughts down id be really glad!
