New hi-res images of comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE continue to show the amazing dust wave structures we first reported on 15 July. Imaging the comet 90 minutes apart, we recorded expansion of the shells....
After our past observations, revealing a dramatic pattern of dust waves in the inner coma of comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE, we managed to capture new images, still showing that prominent feature. As for our...
After imaging it with large field-of-view lenses, we could finally capture a close-up of comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE. Images show a dramatic structure of dust waves, resembling those observed in comet Hale-Bopp in 1997....
Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE is now also visible at sunset, offering the best view so far. We imaged it again from Rome, capturing the unique sight of such a wonder above one of the...
We observed comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE from Rome again, this time capturing it above the St. Peter’s Basilica: another unique view, we hope you will enjoy our images. After our first meeting with this...
Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE is giving a superb show in the sky: the Virtual Telescope Project will show it to you live, online, next 23 July, when the comet will be at its closest...
Many years are gone since the last time we spotted a naked eye comet from the city of Rome. Comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE was a joy to look for, an emotion to stare at,...
Supernova SN 2020nlb in the galaxy Messier 85 is tirelessly rising: for the 10th night in a row, its brightness increased significantly. Now it is within the capabilities of a small telescope. We share...
Supernova SN 2020nlb in the galaxy Messier 85 is still rising: for the 6th night in a row, we have found it brighter! The image above comes from the average of five, 120-seconds exposures,...
A supernova candidate has just been reported in NGC 4457, labelled AT 2020nvb. We promptly confirmed it. Updates (2 July): the transient is now a confirmed type Ia supernova, SN 2020nvb, caught a few...
We continue to monitor supernova SN 2020nlb in the galaxy Messier 85, while it evolves. Last night it was even brighter! The image above comes from the average of five, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely...
Supernova SN 2020nlb in the bright galaxy Messier 85, discovered when it was very young, is quickly rising. We imaged it last night, here it is our view. The image above comes from the...
Tomorrow, the near-Earth asteroid 2020 MF1 will safely approach our planet, reaching a minimum distance from the Earth of about 495000 km, 1.3 times the average distance of the Moon. We have just captured...
A supernova candidate has just been reported in Messier 85, labelled AT 2020nlb. We promptly confirmed it. Updates (26 June): the transient is now a confirmed type Ia supernova! The image above comes from...
