Depending on the density, it could produce up to a 1km wide crater.

Going to Mars is a one way ticket. You go, you die there.

That is a fake ai generated image.
This is the actual Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302) as captured by Hubble

I tried to catch some once, but I mist.

More like a less than 2 meter wave at 100km away

I’m not sure I know the difference between an app and a program, but the one I use runs on a desk/laptop and is free. There are several others as well. Most dslr/dslm cameras still allow you to shoot in raw format, which is what is required for proper stacking
comment in response to
post
Ah, well the stacking is not done by the camera. It’s a process that is done afterwards with many images, to average them and (ideally) improve signal to noise ratio.
comment in response to
post
No, satellites leave a very straight white trail across long exposure. That is most likely what is known as walking noise, which shows up in stacked images as a result of read noise and stuck pixels in the camera sensor.

Ok thanks. I haven’t had a chance to delve into the calculator, but that makes sense.

Oh, very cool calculator, thanks!
So basically this would mostly just be the effect of the rock hitting the water, rather than an explosion of some kind?

One of the scary things about RFK jr is that he most likely actually believes this.

I would assume that an ocean hit would result in tsunami though?

It’s not even that, though. Just straight up ai crap.

Why the fake image though?

This year marks the innermost increment on the reticle of my old Vixen polar scope. Guess I’ll have to just estimate it for the next few years until I get around to getting a new one.

Thanks, this was with an 8” f/8 Newtonian

I did this one December 22, with both Ganymede and Io (and their shadows) transiting over a five hour period; half of Jupiter’s full rotation. Frame interval is 15 minutes, with progressively deteriorating seeing conditions

Yeah I haven’t had any luck with it myself, either visually or imaging.

Or a senator

Yes! Also Sirius, although that is a lot harder to resolve as a double. Polaris is a lot easier. Many others as well

First image is by Anup Singh, who posts as Picabuzz on Instagram, and it is an artistic composite, not an actual event, and the planets are grossly out of scale

For reference, this is an image from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Not even any of these craters are visible in the image posted. If you look carefully you can find the Apollo 11 lander, or at least it’s shadow.

How bout Venus?

Is it though? Jupiter’s moons are in the same configuration across the whole thing.

I did it though!

They are not even possible on Venus.
comment in response to

There is no source.
If you do a reverse image search you will not find any credible sources; only more posts like this with the same vague wording.
It is ai crap, and it is contributing to degradation of scientific integrity.

That is not even remotely the same image

Bullshit.

I love the fly… one of the many cool things to look at in Auriga, and unlike most nebulae, it’s bright enough to easily see. But also pretty small. It took me a minute to realize what I was looking at when I first saw it.
