After almost one month and half from our last observation, we visited comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comety made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance, under...
After more than one month from our previous visit, at Virtual Telescope we observed comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. This comety made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very...
After almost three months (a full season!), at Virtual Telescope we are always tracking comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy, one of the most beautiful objects of this kind we have seen around these last years....
A new image of comet was recently taken via the Virtual Telescope, thanks to an unexpected short window of clear sky; so, we continue our amazing coverage we provided for more than two months now. The image...
Among the comets visible this time of the year, there is comet 32P/Comas Solà, discovered in 1926 by Josep Comas Solà, Barcelona. Since then, it has been observed at every return, every ~8.5 years....
A new image of comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy was taken last night via the Virtual Telescope, continuing the amazing coverage we provided over the last almost two months. The image above comes from the average...
You should remember this comet, C/2013 A1 Siding Spring. It made history last October, when it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance, under our eyes. After a few months after our...
After its late Jan. outburst, comet 17P/Holmes was imaged again via the Virtual Telescope. There was room for very few images, as clouds were soon back in the sky. The image above comes from...
Comet 15P/Finlay was observed again with the robotic Virtual Telescope facility, using a short and lately rare clear moment, after weeks of bad weather. The image above comes from the average of seven, 90-seconds...
A new imaging session for comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy was planned at Virtual Telescope, thanks to a short window of clear skies. Luckily enough, as soon as we ended the planned run, the clouds...
After more than one week of clouds and heavy rain, at Virtual Telescope we could image comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy again, on its way back to the outer Solar System. There was an excellent...
After the previous visit, comet 17P/Holmes was observed again during its ongoing outburst, despite the extremely bright, almost full Moon. The image above comes from the average of seven, 180-seconds unfiltered exposures, remotely collected with the PlaneWave...
Now on its way back to the deep Solar System, comet C/2014 Q2 Lovejoy is still the queen of the sky, with its ongoing show despite the bright Moon. The image above comes from the average...
Comet 17P/Holmes is undergoing another outburst. This object is not new to similar “exploit”: when Edwin Holmes discovered it in 1892, the object was, indeed, in outburst. In 2007 it had another large outburst,...
