Hummingbird
ISS Crosses the Sun
Being in the right place at the right time is a good thing. It happened today. At mid-morning the Space Station passed across the face of the Sun for about 1 second. Here is some video of it.
Venus & Jupiter Again
One more clear sky evening for another view of their conjunction.
Venus and Jupiter
Their conjunction in the evening twilight is a beautiful sight. Look west tonight just at dark.
Zooming in on Jupiter showed 3 of the 4 Galilean Moons. The high zoom also showed a bit of movement due to Earth’s rotation. Look again tonight.
Comet C/2025 R3 Speeding Along
Back on 13 April I was able to capture an image of this comet in the early morning hour. It passed almost directly between Earth and the Sun during 23 April to 27 April. The Solar & Heliospheric Observatory orbits Earth at the location L1 about a million miles away between Earth and the Sun. It captured the passage in a series of images making up a video. See that here.
