Next 3 Dec., comet C/2021 A1 Leonard and the stunning globular cluster Messier 3 will share the same spot in the sky. The view will be breathtaking, this is why we will bring it...
Now that comet C/2021 A1 Leonard is ready to show at its best, we captured this new image, after several weeks of cloudy weather. The image above comes from the average of 11, 120-second...
Next 8 Dec. 2021, our Earth will cross the orbital plane of comet C/2021 A1 Leonard. This will offer special conditions to spot this icy world, hopefully becoming naked-eye around that date. See this...
A few hours after its launch, we could image both the DART spacecraft and its 2nd stage booster. Image and movie are available below. The image above comes from a single 30-second exposure, remotely...
Next 17 Dec 2021, the potentially hazardous asteroid (163899) 2003 SD220 will have a relatively close and obviously safe encounter with our planet. It will come as “close” as 5.4 millions of km, about...
We observed the supernova SN 2021vaz in the NGC 1961 spiral galaxy, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of seven, 120-second exposures,...
We observed again supernova SN 2021rhu in the nearby NGC 7814 spiral galaxy, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our latest image. The image above comes from the average of six,...
*** Join it LIVE here! *** *** Join it LIVE here! *** Next 19 November 2021, the Moon will offer a beautiful partial eclipse, well visible from the Americas and from the Far East. As in the past,...
In less than one day, the near-Earth asteroid 2021 UW1 will have a very close, but safe, approach with our planet, reaching a minimum distance from the center of the Earth of about 380.000 km,...
We are pleased to share our follow-up images covering the unusual activity of asteroid (248370) 2005 QN173, now also classified as comet 433P. It is fading, but still shows its tail. The images above comes...
In a few weeks, the public will hopefully become familiar with comet C/2021 A1 Leonard: there are chances to easily see this comet by naked eye, even if under less than optimal conditions. Meantime,...
Lo scorso 20 settembre, l’International Astronomical Union (IAU) ha reso noto che all’asteroide (435127) 2007 EE88 è stato ufficialmente assegnato il nome “Virtelpro”, in onore del Virtual Telescope, un progetto ideato e realizzato dall’astrofisico...
We observed the bright supernova SN 2021rhu in the nearby NGC 7814 spiral galaxy, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of ten,...
After several months, we spotted comet C/2017 K2 Panstarrs again, of course finding it much brighter. Here it is our image of this very interesting object. The image above comes from the average of...
We observed supernova SN 2021qvr in the NGC 7678 spiral galaxy, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of five, 120-second exposures, unfiltered,...
