While waiting for its close approach, happening later today at 15:39 UT, at Virtual Telescope we imaged the potentially hazardous asteroid (1566) Icarus on its way to its relatively close encounter with the Earth....
The possible supernova PSN J19535968+4956078 in UGC 11494 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of four, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave...
The supernova PSN J17162885+0625585 in UGC 10779 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of four, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount...
The supernova PSN J14432601+5725412 in PGC 052589 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of four, 180-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E...
The supernova PSN J14372160 in NGC 5695 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of three, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave 17″+Paramount ME+SBIG STL-6303E...
This time, against hour habit with this object, we did not wait for several weeks before looking again at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring. We always remind you that this comet made history last...
The supernova PSN J12503072-1052405 in M-2-33-20 9 1 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of five, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the...
The supernova ASASSN-15kn in PGC 042600 was at first imaged at Virtual Telescope on June 7.83, as part of a cooperation with the ASAS-SN survey (ATel 7602). The same source was also indipendently found by Ciabattari...
Next 16 June, the famous, 1.5 km large potentially hazardous asteroid (1566) Icarus will make a relatively, but rare close encounter with the Earth. The Virtual Telescope Project will show it live, online, to...
asteroid / event / free / near Earth
On 8 June 2015, at 23:49 UT, the 15 meters large near-Earth asteroid 2015 LF made an extremely close, but safe, encounter with our home planet, coming within 200.000 km. At Virtual Telescope we...
asteroid / event / free / near Earth
Later today, 8 June 2015 at 23:49 UT, the just discovered, 10 meters large asteroid 2015 LF will have an extremely close, but safe, encounter with the Earth. This rock, discovered by the Catalina...
After a few weeks, we want to look at comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring again. We all remember when this comet made, last October, something amazing, as it approached planet Mars within a very short, record distance,...
The possible supernova ASASSN-15kk in UGC 04883 was imaged as part of the Virtual Telescope’s supernova follow-up program. The image above comes from the average of ten, 60-seconds exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected with the PlaneWave...
While coming for its close encounter with the Earth on 29 May 2015, we managed to image near-Earth asteroid 2015 KW120 while it was approaching us. The image above is a single 120-seconds exposure, remotely taken with PlaneWave...
