On 8.9 June, 2013, the Virtual Telescope main, robotic unit (PlaneWave 17″) imaged this supernova candidate, collecting three, 120-seconds images. The object appeared very well. At that time, the supernova was undesigned, our observations...
On 6 June, 2013, the Virtual Telescope main, robotic unit (PlaneWave 17″) imaged this supernova candidate, collecting three, 120-seconds images. The hosting galaxy (UGC 5315) was about 30 deg above the horizon. The transient...

On July 8, at 04:43 UT, the small, just discovered asteroid 2013 LR6 will reach a minimum distance from the Earth of about 110.000 km. It is a very safe distance, so it will...
The sky is always ready to give a show at any moment. On 6 June 2013, at 21:26 UT,while doing other scientific activities at Virtual Telescope, we received an alert reporting that a GRB...
Lurking among the northern stars of Draco there is a smudge of light, announcing the presence of a deep sky object. It is the wonderful NGC 5907, also known as the Knife Edge or...
The 1998 QE2 online event went very well! Despite the clouds initially limited the visibility of the object, people connected online to the Virtual Telescope could spy this object soon after the closest approach....
While still 24 hours away from its close encounter with the Earth, asteroid 1998 QE2 is giving a nice show in the sky. The Virtual Telescope used its 17″ robitic unit to capure about...
On the video below, comet C/2011 L4 “Pan-STARRS” shows its antitail and motion across the stars. Each frame comes from a 120-seconds exposure, taken with the 17″ robotic unit part of the Virtual Telescope...
While waiting for its close approach next 31 May, potentially hazardous asteroid 1998 QE2 was imaged by the Virtual Telescope, remotely using its 17″ robotic unit. The mount was asked to track the asterois,...
While potentially hazardous asteroid 1998 QE2 continues on its very save route around the Sun, ready to give its show later this month, we are preparing the observing campaign and our online, live coverage...
Comet C/2011 L4 Pan-STARRS is still giving a great show in the northern skies. After it was visible at sunset by naked eye, it is now visible all night with a telescope, if you...
The Virtual Telescope imaged this optical transient with its 17″ robotic unit, finding it at magnitude 18.9 unfiltered. This transient is showing in the ultraluminuos infrared galaxy NGC 6240, located at about 400 millions...
On 18 May 2013, the near-Earth asteroid 2013 KT1 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in Arizona. From its orbit resulted that this minor planet was going to reach a minimum distance from...
