The possible supernova PSN J12060084+2036183 in NGC 4098 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...
These very minutes, the near-Earth asteroid 2015 HD10 is safely brushing our planet from a distance of 600.000 km, 1.6 times the average distance of the Moon. This 15-large minor planet was discovered on...
Following rumors that comet C/2015 F3 Swan, last night, did not show any central condensation, we managed to perform some follow up, as soon as the sky cleared, after lot of rain. The image...
These days we saw a number of small asteroids coming very close to us: near-Earth asteroid 2015 HQ11 was discovered on 23. Apr. 2015 and officially announced the day after. This 15-meters large minor...

Very often, at Virtual Telescope, we wish to underline how beautiful our Universe is, especially when, tracking a given astrophysical source, we observe a patch of sky we never saw earlier. In other words,...
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...
A couple of weeks after our first observation, we observed again supernova SN 2015G in NGC 6951, finding it fainter along its fadind trend. The image above comes from the average of three, 300-seconds exposures, unfiltered,...
A few hours from its closest distance from us, at Virtual Telescope we imaged near-Earth asteroid 2015 GA1 again. The image above is a single 180-seconds exposures, remotely taken with the PlaneWave 17 +...
After almost four month since our last observation, at Virtual Telescope we observed again supernova SN 2014dt in Messier 61. Discovered late in Oct. 2014, this supernova was still visible there, of course much...
On 13 April 2015, at 13:54:58 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and located GRB 150413A. This detection was reported via the Nasa’s GCN 17688 Circular. 132 seconds after the burst, the MASTER II robotic telescope located...
Next 16 April 2015, at 07:11 UT, the near-Earth asteroid 2015 GA1 will have a very close encounter with our planet. With an estimated diameter of ~20 meters, this asteroid will reach a minimum...
