I found Mars AND Jupiter in the tiny sliver of sky between Times Square skyscrapers for the planetary alignment 🤩😭🔭🌃 #astrophotography

I am feeling really, really grateful to Bluesky existing and everyone that has put so much work into building this platform and bringing in community here. With so many social media sites getting hostile and pro MAGA, I’m really appreciative that we can all be here.

Does anyone have tips for how to physically print astrophotography? I have an Epson 8550 and have tested a few types of papers from Red River company but I haven’t found a great configuration yet. Getting the stars to contrast well is haaaard 😅 🔭 #astrophotography

I caught what is a nearly perfect shot of the Gemini constellation last night!!! ✨✨✨✨✨ In Brooklyn NYC?! Hot take: light pollution makes constellation identification easier not harder 🌃🌌🔭

Day 3 out of 4 catching a moon halo. This one features a surprising number of stars in the Leo constellation! Follow for more moonbow hunting since apparently this is what I do now 😂🤩🔭

Do these also count as moonbows? It’s not as stunning as the ones from two nights ago, but I’d title the first one “Pillars of Moonbows Creation” if these count 😆 (…hopefully someone else sees the reference too) 🔭

Have you ever seen a full moon creating rainbows on the clouds around it? Because I had not and it’s surreal 🤯🌕🔭

I’m trying to follow the LA fires because my brother lives in Woodland Hills and is surrounded by them. 😩 But now news websites are completely unreadable, they have a few sentences of news and then spam ads? How are others staying up to date on it? I’m genuinely lost

Today’s the last day to vote for the planetary image of 2024 and ngl the Io shot is ✨incredible✨ to me (but vote as you please 😉) 🔭

I was accepted into the Bluesky Astronomy feed and it feels like such an honor 😆🤩 *big stretch before spamming all sorts of star things*

I thought my first attempt at seeing a rocket launch was going to be a bust but it was actually preeeetty cool to see the rocket light up through the clouds 🚀🌌
