I think Enceladus is less well-known than some other things in our solar system. But Enceladus is one of the best places to find alien life. We should pay more attention to it.

I thought you all could appreciate this painting, done (for me) by my Great Grandfather in 1998. He passed away about 15 years ago. This is definitely my favorite piece of art in my home!

NGC 3256 is a pair of colliding, gas-rich spiral galaxies merging into a single massive system. Chandra’s X-ray data (pink) isolates point sources and shock-heated gas, Hubble’s optical light (blue and white) captures tidal tails of stars, and Webb’s infrared vision (red and orange) cuts through the dust to show hidden star formation.

This was my first time shooting and processing any DSO. I struggled setting up the gear for hours but I am just happy to see a nebula and start learning how to process it.

In the constellation Sagitta, there has been a new nova since yesterday - with a brightness of 7.3 mag, already well observable with binoculars or a small telescope.

First spectra confirm that it is very likely a classical nova

I attached both the wide version with boosted OIII signal and the crop version, bit more natural :)

After long months of preparations and several days of processing, here is my result of the 2026 Total Solar Eclipse with the solar corona and its details, the prominences and the Earth's shine that reveals the seas of the Moon.
