Venus is so bright, you can sometimes see it during the day. Tomorrow morning, the moon will be close to Venus, making it a great day to try to spot Venus in the daytime.
Read tips on how you can spot brilliant Venus during the day: bit.ly/3gbRwDt.

Venus is occulted (hidden) by the Moon on Thurs, Nov 9th for IRL/UK around 9:45am. They will be quite close before sunrise as in this simulated view for 7am. Well worth getting up for before sunrise!

A while since I’ve tweeted, but these are images of last Sunday night’s aurora that I took 7km north of Nenagh. iPhone 12 clamped to a tripod. 10s to 30s. A bright Starlink trail is crossing the sky in one pic. @NenaghGuardian

Behold the grandeur of Omega Centauri (NGC 5139), the most massive globular star cluster in our sky, located a mind-boggling 17,000 light years away. It consists of millions of stars and is best seen with a telescope from the southern hemisphere.

In case you missed it: A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope captured more than 45,000 baby galaxies, when our universe was less than 600 million years old. 🌌
