NB: on 2 April 1015, CBAT officially announced on CBET 4087 this supernova as SN 2015G, reporting our observations. The image above shows supernova PSN J20372558+6607115 in the beautiful, barred spiral galaxy NGC 6951....
On 1 April 2015, the near-Earth asteroid 2015 FW117 will make a very close encounter with our planet. This ~100 meters large asteroid will reach a minimum distance from us of a bit less than...
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 the very successful coverage of the 11 Mar. 2015 mutual event, at Virtual Telescope we planned to cover another one happening among Jupiter’s satellites on 30 Mar. 2015, in order to contribute to...
The image above shows a simulated view of the upcoming 20 March 2015 solar eclipse as seen from Rome, Italy. Below, a video of the eclipse is provided, too. The center of the video...
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....
While we are all waiting for the next 20 Mar. solar eclipse, another world is showing amazing shadow plays: Jupiter and its satellites. While eclipses on Jupiter by its moons are quite common, what...
There are things that never fail to show they are true. One of them is that every time you slew a telescope to an apparently anonymous patch of the sky, following up a faint...
an official event for Global Astronomy Month (April 2015) *** Join it LIVE here! *** These months, thanks to favorable geometrical conditions, we are enjoying mutual occultations and eclipses among the Galilean satellites. Some of these events...

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...
Messier 101 surely is one of the most beautiful spiral galaxies out there. Because of its relative proximity (about 20 millions of light years), its face-on geometry and the elegance of its arm, the...
Recently, while following-up a recently discovered optical transient, PSN J14095513+1731556 – turned out to be a supernova – we spied a nice spot of the sky where, all around the supernova and its host galaxy (NGC...
