Grabbing an hint of our presence in space is always fascinating and the International Space Station (ISS) is by far the most important evidence of that. Early this morning I could capture this spacecraft...
Exploiting a very clear sky, we made a deep image of asteroid (6478) Gault, now showing a narrow, dusty tail. We could observe its newer tail, too, as in the image below. The image above...
More than two months after the its original announcement, we observed again the dusty tail of (6478) Gault. We have found this intriguing feature in good shape. The images above come from the average of...
