#SolarOrbiter is speeding towards a close approach of the #Sun tonight at 19:12 UTC at a distance of about 0.29 AU (inside the orbit of Mercury) 😎 📹 This new image sequence by @EuiTelescope covers 20 Sept–10 Oct. 👉esa.int/ESA_Multimedia… #WeAreAllSolarOrbiters

@BeckPaulG @IAC_Astrofisica @OOCC_IAC Saw them tonight! I had already given up hope due to the horrible weather but my mum somehow insisted on trying it anyway. The clouds above Linz parted for only a minute, but we got a spectacular view of both planets through our binoculars. So glad she didn't let me miss this one

Tonight is the night! #virtualStarGazing with the webcams of the observatories of @IAC_Astrofisica on Izaña, #Tenerife, and Roque de los Muchachos on #laPalma provide a stunning and simultaneous view of the closest encounter of the #greatConjunction on Dec 21, 2020. @OOCC_IAC

Im Rahmen der Vorlesung zur astrophysikalischen Datenanalyse hat @StePur, Diplomand am #igamGraz @UniGraz, mithilfe des @ESAGaia Sternkatalogs untersucht, wie der uns bekannte #Sternenhimmel im Laufe der nächsten Million Jahren sich verändert. Hier das beeindruckende Resultat!
