Урожайная Луна над Тосканой A Harvest Moon over Tuscany
29.09.2023

For northern hemisphere dwellers, September's Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. Reflecting warm hues at sunset, it rises behind cypress trees huddled on a hill top in Tuscany, Italy in this telephoto view from September 28.


Возвращение с Бенну Back from Bennu
28.09.2023

Back from asteroid 101955 Bennu, a 110-pound, 31-inch wide sample return capsule rests in a desert on planet Earth in this photo, taken at the Department of Defense Utah Test and Training Range near Salt Lake City last Sunday, September 24.


Глубокая Лагуна The Deep Lagoon
27.09.2023

Ridges of glowing interstellar gas and dark dust clouds inhabit the turbulent, cosmic depths of the Lagoon Nebula. Also known as M8, The bright star forming region is about 5,000 light-years distant. It makes for a popular stop on telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius toward the center of our Milky Way Galaxy.


"СТИВ" и Млечный Путь пересекаются над сельской дорогой APOD: 2023 September 27 Б STEVE and Milky Way Cross over Rural Road
26.09.2023

Not every road ends in a STEVE. A week ago, a sky enthusiast's journey began with a goal: to photograph an aurora over Lake Huron. Driving through rural Ontario, Canada, the forecasted sky show started unexpectedly early, causing the photographer to stop before arriving at the scenic Great Lake.


IC 4592: отражательная туманность Голубая конская голова APOD: 2023 September 26 Б IC 4592: The Blue Horsehead Reflection Nebula
25.09.2023

Do you see the horse's head? What you are seeing is not the famous Horsehead nebula toward Orion, but rather a fainter nebula that only takes on a familiar form with deeper imaging. The main part of the here-imaged molecular cloud complex is reflection nebula IC 4592.


Арп 142: галактика Колибри APOD: 2023 September 25 Б Arp 142: The Hummingbird Galaxy
24.09.2023

What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Just a few hundred million years ago, NGC 2936, the upper of the two large galaxies shown at the bottom, was likely a normal spiral galaxy -- spinning, creating stars -- and minding its own business.


Солнечное затмение с огненным кольцом на рассвете APOD: 2023 September 24 Б A Ring of Fire Sunrise Solar Eclipse
23.09.2023

What's rising above the horizon behind those clouds? It's the Sun. Most sunrises don't look like this, though, because most sunrises don't include the Moon. In the early morning of 2013 May 10, however, from Western Australia, the Moon was between the Earth and the rising Sun.


Аналемма после полудня Afternoon Analemma
22.09.2023

An analemma is that figure-8 curve you get when you mark the position of the Sun at the same time each day for one year. To make this one, a 4x5 pinhole camera was set up looking north in southern New Zealand skies.


Космос в отражениях Cosmos in Reflection
21.09.2023

During the day, over 12,000 large mirrors reflect sunlight at the 100-megawatt, molten-salt, solar thermal power plant at the western edge of the Gobi desert near Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China. Individual mirror panels turn to track the sun like sunflowers.


Прикоснувшись к Бенну Tagging Bennu
20.09.2023

The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft's arm reached out and touched asteroid 101955 Bennu on October 20, 2020, after a careful approach to the small, near-Earth asteroid's boulder-strewn surface. Dubbed a Touch-And-Go (TAG) sampling event...
