We captured supernova SN 2020bcq and its host galaxy NGC 5154, as part of our supernova follow-up program, with a number of other galaxies all around. Here it is our image. The image above comes...
We captured supernova SN 2020ees and its host galaxy NGC 5157, as part of our supernova follow-up program, with a number of other galaxies all around. Enjoy our cosmic postcard. The image above comes...
We present a new image of comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas, lookingbrighter and brighter. Le’s hope it will amaze us next months. The image above comes from the average of 16, 300-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely...
Il pianeta Venere, l’astro più brillante di queste sere, transita tra le Pleiadi, il più celebre ammasso stellare del cielo, per una visione indimenticabile. Il Virtual Telescope Project vi mostra la spettacolare, rara congiunzione...
We imaged supernova SN 2020bio and its host galaxy NGC 5371, as part of our supernova follow-up program, two months after its discovery. Enjoy this superb view! The image above comes from the average...
We are happy to share with you a new image of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2: it is safely coming as close as 6.3 millions of km next 29 April. We will...
Next 8 April, the SuperMoon will be back, but with something special: it will be the largest full Moon of 2020. At Virtual Telescope we will show it live, online, while the Moon rises...
We present here a new image and movie of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, coming as close as 6.3 millions of km next 29 April. Quite a large distance, telling us it will...
Today (exactly on 20 March 2020, at 03:50 UTC) our Sun, in its apparent motion along the Ecliptic, crossed the Celestial Equator from South to North: for this reason, we celebrate the Vernal Equinox....
The Moon made a nice meeting with planets Jupiter, Mars and Saturn, early today at dawn. I managed to capture the group from my balcony in Rome. I managed to wake up on time...
We continue observing the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, while it slowly prepares its flyby with our Earth, coming as close as 6.3 millions of km next month. So, a large distance, telling...
Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is not alone: a parade of small galaxies is all around it. Leo I, a dwarf galaxy, is one of them. Spotting it is not straightforward, as you...
We continue monitoring comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas, which hopefully will be visible by naked eye next April and May. While we remember that comets are unpredictable, we continue our coverage of C/2019 Y4. The...
While the worldwide press is talking about it, we imaged the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, while it is slowly and safely approaching us. This 1.8-4.1 km large minor planet will be at...
