The best of La Silla and El Sauce stations in Chile from 06/2025 to 02/2026.

This year's Quadrantids were very successful, considering the traditionally very bad weather in Europe - 567 multi-station orbits in the CEMeNt network

@elonmusk That's great news, they'll be able to send pictures from another civil war faster...

Starlink now available in Senegal

@elonmusk Maybe penguins need high-speed internet? Go with your space junk to the dustbin of history!

Get awesome Internet anywhere! From remote mountain tops to Antarctica, Starlink is the only fast, low ping global Internet system.

Year 2025 in the CEMeNt network over Central Europe and Chile - 309,771 single-station meteors and 55,587 multi-station orbits.

Nighttime movements over La Silla - meteors, dome E152, high clouds and the Moon. La Silla SW camera, 03/02/2026.

Quadrantids on the night of maximum (3/4. 1. 2025) by the CEMENT network cameras and also using the SMRST meteor radar.

It's December in Central Europe and so we need to head to the "mountains" above the inversion for the Geminids

@danusenerudova Ano, musí být slyšet - ale ty raději mlč:-)

Český hlas musí být v Evropě slyšet. Už žádné dotace na sjezdovky ve vinicích a toastové chleby. Jsme úspěšná ekonomika a musíme naše myšlení změnit. Potřebujeme větší investice do vědy, výzkumu a inovací, které poženou naši ekonomiku. V novém rozpočtu vznikne takzvaný fond konkurenceschopnosti. Měli bychom se zaměřit na to, jak z něj získat prostředky pro naše podniky, protože o ně se bude soutěžit, a ne pouze čekat na přidělené dotace.

@danusenerudova Ty si fakt blbá jak pumpa na saně:-) Ten kdo neví, o čem se v EP vlastně hlasuje, ten by tam neměl být...akorát pak nevím, co bys dělala:-)

Je v zájmu této země, aby ta „časová tíseň“ u nejmenování pana Turka trvala čtyři roky.

@SpaceX @Starlink This useless junk is polluting space in low orbits. It is slowly destroying the possibility of terrestrial astronomy, and why? The picture shows 7 Starlinks in just 3 seconds. Every day, this junk adds an extra hour of work to me that I could be doing something more useful.

After a long-term problem, all 7 cameras in Chile are operational again. Last night, a total of 957 meteors were recorded at the La Silla and El Sauce stations.

The best of CEMENT 2024/2025 youtu.be/2sRME1i0tFI
