NGC6164 is dominated by a giant hot Wolf Rayet star at the centre. A delicate O111 shockwave frames this nebula forming a flowerlike arrangement.

Hi:

Since I started with the planetary photograpy, so far as 2001, I proposed to follow the Mars oppositions. So, since 2003 till now (I´m composing my last poster of the 2014 opposition), I´ve made the resume of each approaching between Mars and Earth in a poster:






I hope you like them.

Clear skies.

A Different Moon I took a picture of the Moon on June 9th 2014. [1] Then I chose a vantage point some 280*10^3 km from Earth, same Earth-Moon distance, analog to a 75 degree (5/24) lunar rotation. The phase of the Moon was important: there was enough visible surface to perform the 3D rotation[2], but the terminator was away enough from the circumference to not show significant errors due to the data loss inherent to the projection of those regions. The far side of the Moon is well in view but dark, so lack of data is not an issue here I rotated the sphere with my home brewed software written in PHP/GD. I also made an animation depicting us moving away from Earth and thus seeing the Moon as if it were rotating [3].

Do note the Copernicus between 2 and 3 o'clock and Tycho on the margin at about 4-5 o'clock.

Although this is not a photograph per se, this is as close as we can get to see (to have the impression) that the Moon rotates[4], without leaving Earth[5].

187 individual frames and a total exposure time of over 18 hours make up this Mosaic which covers an area approximately 6.5 x 5.4 degrees and is covering the same area of sky as 143 moons.
Captured from my backyard observatory in Fremont Michigan late May early June 2014.

In 1979, the Voyager 1 probe took a stunning series of images on its final approach to Jupiter that clearly showed the intricate movement of the cloudbelts for the first time.
35 years later, almost to the day, a group of 7 swedish amateur astronomers set out to replicate this odyssey as a tribute to the historical NASA-footage but done with their own ground-based telescopes.
In this film we explain the steps that took us 6 month of hard work before we could visualise our own flyby and close encounter with Jupiter
Welcome to the Voyager 3 Project
