The ghost of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) from last night (2025-04-18). The comet disintegrated in mind January but the remaining loose cloud of dust and rubble continues to reflect enough light to be detected in a small telescope. The dust still forms a nice parabolic hood.

A coronal mass ejection is en route from the Sun! This footage from GONG reveals two filaments of plasma erupting on the weekend, the latter of which is predicted to reach Earth tomorrow afternoon/evening. A strong geomagnetic storm (and lower-latitude aurora) is possible.

The Sun today 2025-04-06 at 12:48 UT TMB80 f/8, ASI 183MM, SBIG G filter. No sitting outside taking a gentle tan and listening to the birds. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon 🔭, #astronomy #astrophotography #spaceweather #sun

New comet SWAN25F, a while ago from home. At magnitude 9, quite condensed, with a quarter-degree ion tail showing visible filaments. Very bright in green channel, bright in blue, and faint in red. Decorated by Elon Sky-Destroy. 🔭20-cm f/3.7 Reflector + CCD, from Vallés, Valencia, Spain. #cometwatch

The World is going fucking crazy at the moment. I need to disengage for a day. A rework scan of a negative from 2024 that seems rather apt at the moment. Step Into BelliniFoto Eco-Film (Xtol), Fujifilm GW670 III, Ilford FP4, FalmouthUK #photography #filmphotography #mediumformat #believeinfilm
