Last night, the almost full Moon occulted planet Uranus. We could observe the start of the event, before clouds covered the sky. Here it is an interesting animation. I managed to capture a sequence...
After taking a record making image, showing the spacecraft close to its farthest distance from Earth, we will show you live, via our telescopes, the Artemis I – Orion spacecraft ready to splashdown in the Pacific...
L’astrofisico Gianluca Masi, fondatore e Responsabile Scientifico del Virtual Telescope Project, è riuscito nell’impresa di fotografare la navetta Orion della Missione Artemis I, in orbita attorno alla Luna, mentre si avvicinava alla massima distanza...
On 28 Nov. 2022, the near-Earth asteroid 2022 WM7 will have an extremely close, but safe encounter with our Earth, coming as close as 78.500 km from its center. We captured it while it...
We did something epic: we imaged the Artemis I – Orion spacecraft with our robotic telescopes, while it is orbiting the Moon. We are proud and pleased to share this unique image with the...

Next 8 Dec. 2022, we will have an occultation of Mars by the Moon. While already very rare, it will be even more special, as it happens on the night the Red Planet will be...
Planet Mars is back and it is showing at its best. The Virtual Telescope Project will bring to you the beauty of the Red Planet on the night of its minimum distance from our Earth:...
We observed the supernova SN 2022wsp in the spiral galaxy NGC 7448, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of six, 180-second exposures,...
More than one month after the Nasa’s DART mission slammed into Didymos‘ moonlet Dimorphos, we observed this binary asteroid, imaging the thin dusty tail it developed as a consequence of the impact. The image...
We observed the supernova SN 2022xkq in the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1784, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of four, 180-second...
The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 is safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, six times the average lunar distance. We imaged it 24 hours earlier, waiting for its flyby. The picture...
The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 is safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, six times the average lunar distance. We imaged it two days earlier, waiting for its flyby. The picture...
Last night, we captured a sequence showing the potentially hazardous asteroid 2022 RM4 in motion, while safely approaching us. The timelapse above comes from 30, 30-second exposure, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″...
We captured the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 while safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, next week. The image above comes from the average of three, 180-second exposure, remotely taken with the...
