Love our new learning display. A nod to Attenborough. 🌱🌿🌏 #thereisnoplanetB Our cardboard artwork was based on a book 'Art Shaped' by @darrellwakelam.bsky.social who we just love ❤️ The children then hand drew & painted the earth & wrote letters to the climate control minister to ask for change.

It's been a long time coming... Spider nebula is our current target but we will lose it from our view soon. Sadly we need SO much more data on this...so maybe a no go until next year. Here is a rough process of the data so far though #astronomy #astrophotography

Kicking off the new academic year tomorrow with a hands-on making session . . . a group of teachers have asked me to help them explore fossils through 3D making. It's a bit like asking the Cookie Monster to do training about biscuits. 😆😆😆 www.darrellwakelam.com #edusky

A montage of photos of 3D sculptures of fossil ammonites. I've made so many over the years so the photos here span about 20 years worth of work. There are photos of work that children have made and also examples that I have made myself.

The colours of the universe! 8 hours of smart shooting overnight. Great to wake up and see what this little scope has captured and here they are now I've processed them. I've added AI descriptions in ALT so blame that if you disagree 🤣 #astronomy #astrophotography #StormHour #PhotoHour

The Pacman Nebula, officially known as NGC 281, is an emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia. It is named for its resemblance to the classic 1980s video game character. This vast cloud of ionized gas is a star-forming region located approximately 9,200 light-years away in our galaxy's Perseus Spiral Arm.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31) is
the closest major spiral galaxy to our own Milky Way, located about 2.5 million light-years away. It is the largest and most massive member of the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, Andromeda, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 other smaller galaxies.

NGC 1027 is an open star cluster located in the constellation Cassiopeia. Discovered by William Herschel in 1787, it appears visually positioned between the famous Heart and Soul nebulae, though it is not physically associated with them

The Pleiades, or M45, is
a dazzling open star cluster located in the constellation Taurus. Also known as the "Seven Sisters," this famous celestial object is one of the most visible star clusters and has captured the human imagination for millennia.

Here’s our capture of NGC 7023 – the Iris Nebula 🌌. Located about 1,300 light-years away in Cepheus, the Iris glows as starlight reflects off cosmic dust, illuminating the surrounding dark interstellar clouds. 🔭 What do you see when you look into the Iris? #Astrophotography #Nebula #SpaceLovers

✨ The Cave Nebula (Sh2-155) Captured over 21 hours of exposure time (and still adding more!), this cosmic cloud lies about 2,400 light-years away in Cepheus. Its dark dust lanes and glowing gas create the illusion of a celestial cave, where new stars are born. #astrophotography

Jupiter and Venus at 4am this morning, against a sprinkling of Gemini stars I missed out on their closest apparent approach, which was yesterday, but they'll remain very close together in the early Eastern sky for several days yet 3 moons of Jupiter are visible and labelled More in the ALT text 🔭

It's rare to be able to get 2 planets in the same field of view of my 4" telescope.
Venus was dazzling at magnitude -4, with Jupiter very bright at mag -1.9, and they looked gorgeous against the dark blue twilight sky, hugging the treeline at only 10° altitude.
This is a stack of 10 x 2 second exposures, which has given a largely noise-free image.
