Since Sept. 2012, the new website of the Virtual Telescope Project showed a number of near-Earth asteroid images, many of them very unique documents. Here are all of them, so you can review them...
After our first observation, we decided to image comet C/2015 F3 Swan again, despite the amazingly bright Moon and high cirrus in the sky. The image above comes from the average of twelve, 120-seconds exposures, unfiltered,...

The possible supernova PSN J13145290+3442128 in MCG +6-29-66 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 PlaneWave...
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...
