Last week, I had a good clear sky here, and even though the moon was out, it was low on the horizon preventing a washout! So here is a relatively wide angle image of Andromeda galaxy 2.5 million light-years away! . . #Astrophotography #astronomy #nightphotography #galaxies

@eweissunburied @nickpopemod My deepest sympathise to you and all the loved ones around Nick, he will be missed RIP ❤️❤️❤️

My heart is breaking -- Nick (@nickpopemod) passed away this afternoon at our home. The last few weeks of his life, even as he suffered, he managed to do a few interviews from home. I was so lucky to have met and to have married Nick. He was a wonderful husband. I loved him dearly.

A Message From Nick Pope: A while ago, following some digestive issues, I was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Unfortunately, it's Stage 4 and has metastasized to my liver. While I know that it's kindness and hope that leads people to suggest healers and supposed miracle cures, and to say things like "fight it", and "you can beat it", I'm afraid my diagnosis and my situation leaves no doubt whatsoever: I can't beat it. What an amazing adventure I've had! A 21-year career at the UK Ministry of Defence, where I got involved in subjects ranging from financial policy to counter-terrorism; from military policing to UAP. And I saved six cows; it's a long story! The things I've done; the places I've been; the people I've met; and the secrets I've been privy to. I wouldn't have swapped it for the world. And then a second career, where my previous government UAP role brought me to the attention of the world's media, leading me to become a regular commentator on TV news shows and documentaries, as well as consulting and acting as spokesperson on various UFO and alien-themed movies, TV series and video games. The media called me the real Fox Mulder! The true highlight, of course, is life with my wonderful, beautiful and incredibly smart wife, Elizabeth. She's a real-life Agent Scully: a scientist, a skeptic and a redhead. We met randomly in the lobby bar of the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San José (she was an anthropology professor at San José State University) in October 2010 and got married 3 months later. We applied successfully for my Green Card and she had me shipped over and imported to the U.S., where a new adventure began, as Elizabeth and I enjoyed wildlife watching at our wonderful home in Tucson, desert hikes, film noir, true crime, country music, Sunday lunches with my in-laws, and much more besides. Recently, we had an amazing one-year adventure in New York City, living 5 minutes from Times Square, and having a wonderful view of the Empire State Building from our apartment window. We proofread each other's books and articles (I love commas, hyphens and exclamation points way more than Elizabeth, and managed to win at least a few of those battles), and I'm  supporting her in her ongoing fight for free speech, academic freedom, and keeping political correctness, superstition and identity politics out of science and academia. The White House Press Secretary Tweeted one of her recent newspaper articles, which shows the huge impact she's having. I kept working for as long as I could (right up until last week), with my various film/TV interviews, conference appearances, and live events, including my position as moderator of Ancient Aliens Live - where I think I did 94 shows. Sadly, the time has come where I've had to step away from this work. A lot of people have followed my work on UAP. I'm loath to use the word "fans", because I'm not a celebrity. But I am a public figure, and many people have followed me on my journey as I've sought to keep the UAP subject in the public eye, and to frame it as a defense, national security and safety of flight issue - as well as a fascinating science problem. Some of this work has been public knowledge, but some such work, of necessity, has been done behind the scenes. I hope I've helped move the needle forward. But most people, of course, know me through my media interviews and live events. To everyone who's followed me on my journey, thank you - and good luck with your own journeys. I wish you every success and happiness. It's all been amazing, and I'm grateful for the things I've done, not mournful for the things that I won't now get to do. Per Aspera Ad Astra! Nick Pope, Tucson, Arizona, February 12, 2026

@nickpopemod Nick I have followed you for sometime and had the pleasure of reading your book Open Skies Closed Minds. I will always believe in miracles can happen so wishing you well 🖖

Happy New Year Everyone ✨️ #astrophotography #astronomy #space

My most resent astrophotography image is of the Soul Nebula 8,500 light-years away! Beautiful 😍 . #astrophotography #nebula #nightphotography #Space

@peachastro Stunning photo!

Jupiter on November 30th. A brief spell of good seeing. Europa is seen alongside with its shadow in transit. Again some interesting details are seen within the GRS.

@JeremyClarkson Hawksone now at Haskins Surrey enjoy 😉

@ChrisUKSharp Just saw that breaking news on the BBC. Mind boggles if those are drones and still nothing can be done, not even clear videos of these objects with military grade night vision! Crazy!

'Brussels Airport closed: airspace isolated by flying drones, all flights diverted to Liège and Charleroi Brussels Airport, located in Zaventem, has just been completely closed. 'This is due to several drones circling above the airport area. All flights are being diverted to Liège and Charleroi airports.'

@LehtoFiles Was there soon after the event with the amazing Cynthia Hind when we did our investigation just days after it happened. Also had the privilege to meeting John Mack who visited the school and interviewed some of the children at Ariel school.

From the archives: 62 kids saw something land at their school in 1994. Beings with huge black eyes came out. Harvard flew in to investigate. The kids were interviewed separately—every story matched perfectly. What did those children really see? f.mtr.cool/ausescvmvd

@ProfBrianCox Brian I've never seen so many people look up and curious about what's up there. Isn't that in itself amazing that many young people are engaging. So much of this is so so academic and beyond 99.99% of public understanding no one is interested in science 😑

Just to be clear - given recent drivel on line - Comet 3I/Atlas is a comet, made of carbon dioxide and water ices and bits of other stuff. It is entirely natural in origin, its orbit is as expected and it will whizz around the sun and then disappear off into the galaxy again. If it ever encounters another inhabited solar system in the far future I hope the living things there are more sensible than us and enjoy it for what it is - a visitor from elsewhere in the galaxy - a pristine lump of rock and ices which formed around a distant, maybe long-dead star billions of years ago and many light years away, just passing through. Isn’t that wonderful enough?

Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, is bright enough to photograph but is quite dim in light polluted skies of London, but happy I captured it nonetheless 😀 . . #astrophotography #comet #nightphotography #astronomy #solarsystem

@AstronomyVibes Never seen this image before where is it from?

#3IATLAS — 33 billion tons of pure nickel, no iron, super-flat and glowing. It’s shedding plasma, forming a backward tail, and somehow lighting itself from the front. Whatever this is… it’s not ordinary. 👁️🛸
