@newsyc250 uhm... Anybody #astrophysics #astronomy can tell me how this is different from the big crush?

The lowest altitude full #moon in decades, no more than 10° over the horizon. Did not make past the trees near my house. This is the result of a full moon near the summer #solstice combined with a "major lunar standstill".

Another pretty picture of last night's lovely full Moon, which wandered low and yellow across the southern sky all night long.

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will map the entire southern sky every few nights

The team will unveil the inaugural image on 23 June; in the meantime, the researchers are keeping quiet about what it shows. “We’ve been very serious about keeping it capped, so that we can do a big reveal”...

#UMPlus - Collinder 464

universomagico.net/2025/06/col

This bright group of stars theoretically forms the open star cluster Collinder 464, located toward the constellation Cameleopardalis. We say theoretically because many of the designations in the Collinder Catalogue are dubious in their classification as true clusters. In fact, many designations were already.....

#Julia rendering by former PhD student M. Angelinelli of the formation and evolution of a simulated cluster of galaxies in a non-radiative ENZO grid simulation, over about 13 billion years of evolution.

The resolution of each cell is 30kpc, at all distances from the cluster centre, which we used to nicely resolve shocks and turbulence even where the cluster "ends".

Last observation of the morning. This observation lasted 30 minutes. I had aimed for #galaxy #NGC5982 before. Above is is galaxy #NGC5985, and below it is galaxy #NGC5891 and galaxy #NGC5976. Sharing processed and un processed images. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
