Megacometa K2 fue captado en cámaras mientras atravesaba el ecuador celeste

Impresionante

Un megacometa brilla en la oscuridad en esta imagen de exposición prolongada capturada por un astrofotógrafo el 18 de junio, antes de su máxima aproximación a la Tierra. El cometa C/2017 K2 (PANSTARRS), llamado K2, pasará cerca de nuestro planeta el miércoles (13 de julio) casi dos veces más lejos de la Tierra que nuestro planeta del sol.

Director of the Pentagon’s All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office, Sean Kirkpatrick, along with Abraham Loeb, chairman of Harvard University’s astronomy department, co-authored a research report. In the report, Sean mentioned that "[A]n artificial interstellar object could potentially be a parent craft that releases many small probes during its close passage to Earth, an operational construct not too dissimilar from NASA missions." The AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office) was established to dig deeper and investigate the unidentified "objects of interest" around US military installations. At the time of its inception, Kirkpatrick was appointed the director of the division. So, now, his recent report admitting signs of alien life near Earth has pushed extraterrestrial enthusiasts into a frenzy. Sean’s partner Loeb, on the other hand, gained popularity when, through his research, he proposed that our first alien visitor had entered our solar system back in October 2017. Back then, the PanSTARRS telescope in Hawaii detected an object moving at a speed that suggested that it was not from our solar system. The object’s paths and travel patterns also hinted at it not being something affected by the gravitational pull of our sun. #aliens #alien #ufo #area #ufos #space #scifi #art #extraterrestrial #aliensarereal #ufosighting #ufology #ancientaliens #xenomorph #alienabduction #nasa #ufologia #ovnis #ovni #ben #extraterrestrials #universe #ufosightings #sciencefiction #horror #paranormal #love #alienart #spaceship #extraterrestre https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2oGdxMoiP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A little Poke-headcanon for Aibreann:

Yes, she owns each color of the Miniors and each has its own nerdy name:

Red: Panstarrs 

Orange: Halley

Yellow: Gibbs

Green: Ikeya-Seki (Seki for short)

Blue: Kowal

Indigo: Atlas

Violet: Hale-Bopp (Or Boppy for short)

Black (not listed): Swan

These are all names of comets that have been observed throughout history. 

Even with that said, they are also called (collectively) ‘Mini’, their color, or whatever Bri ends up yelling out as they use Swift on her. While not on her team, one or more of them usually tags along if she’s going to do fieldwork, just like her Yamper does.

And much like Yamper, if she gets in trouble (like being chased by Wooloos), they’ll sit back and watch.

Two recent asteroid discoveries made by an amateur astronomer highlight what is possible, with access to the right equipment.When it comes to hunting for new astronomical discoveries these days, the competition is stiff. Gone are the days of the lone astronomer with a telescope perched on a lonely hilltop, patiently sweeping the skies looking for something new and out of place.These days, it’s the ‘robotic eyes’ of all-sky surveys are more likely to make astronomical discoveries. Tirelessly canvassing the sky from dark locales night after night, these sentinels have definitely won the war when it comes to new discoveries. You’re more likely to see a survey name like ‘ATLAS’ or ‘PanSTARRS’ on a new comet today than say, ‘Johnson’ or ‘Smith’.As of writing this, there are close to 624,000 numbered asteroid discoveries and counting. This goes back to 1 Ceres, discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi on the first night of the 19th century. While comets are named after their discoverers, the rights for naming asteroids goes to the discoverer, though these also need final approval from the International Astronomical Union.A Tough (But Not Impossible) Search That’s not to say that there aren’t still discoveries to be made. Increasingly, amateur astronomers are simply moving their efforts online. Remote telescopes offering observing time worldwide are now becoming available. A pair of recent asteroid discoveries made by amateur astronomer Filipp Romanov highlights this trend. Universe Today caught up with Filipp recently, to find just how he did it.“Currently, in astronomy, many asteroids have already been discovered, for example, bright or close to Earth,” Filipp Romanov told Universe Today. “But among minor planets fainter than +20th apparent magnitude, unknown ones can still be found. For an amateur astronomer, this is difficult to do due to the fact that large automatic sky surveys constantly monitor the sky and often find new objects.”Amateur astronomer Filipp Romanov.To that end, Romanov took an ‘if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em’ approach.“In 2022, I got a few hours of observing time (for my astrometric measurements of comets and asteroids) at the two-metre aperture robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT) located on the island of La Palma (in the Canary Islands).”A Cosmic Quest Hits Paydirt“At the end of October-beginning of November 2022, I tried to search for asteroids using the LT (Liverpool Telescope); I found two asteroids in the resulting images for which the Minor Planet Checker showed no matches with known asteroids. I observed them for a few days, but then there was updated information that they were already known.”It happens. The data was still useful to refine the known asteroids’ orbits. Undeterred, Romanov continued his search.“Before the November 2022 New Moon, I continued to search for asteroids. I had chosen the areas of the sky near the ecliptic and in the opposition region.” This region tends to be prime hunting grounds for new asteroids, as they’re at their brighest and closest to the Earth. These areas also hadn’t been recently covered by ongoing sky surveys, which Romanov found in the MPC’s Sky Coverage Plots database.“On November 23rd, 2022, two fields of 10 by 10 arc minutes were photographed, and on one of them I found an unknown asteroid which I designated as RFD0004, and on a second field I found an asteroid, RFD0004. I made astrometric measurements and sent my data to the Minor Planet Center.”Confirming New Discoveries “I calculated (using the New Object Ephemeris Generator) where the asteroids will be in the sky in a day, and on November 24, 2022, I received new photographs of the requested areas of the sky. I found RFD0004 again but I didn’t find RFD0005, but I found another asteroid, RFD0006.”Tracking the asteroids in their orbits around the Sun is key to identification as something new. “I continued to track these asteroids for a month, and in December 2022 these asteroids received provisional designations in the Minor Planet Center database: RFD006 was designated 2022 WY16, and RFD0004 was 2022 WY17.” Both asteroids were at about +21st magnitude at the time of discovery.Confirming a discovery, however, can often take months, sometimes years. Objects often get lost in the glare of the Sun, or become too faint to recover as they move away from the Earth. “Assigning permanent designations (numbers) to minor planets occurs when their orbits are well known,” says Romanov. “But in the case of these asteroids, they were found in archival images of sky surveys (in this case, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, going back to 2002) and this made it possible to increase their observation arcs.”Discovery images for asteroids 2022 WY17 and 2022 WY16. Credit: Liverpool Telescope/Filipp RomanovThese discoveries along with others were then released in the July 2023 Minor Planet Center Circular. These are the first asteroids discovered by Romanov, and the first asteroids discovered by the Liverpool Telescope.Naming AsteroidsFinally, it came time to name the asteroids. “Numbered asteroids can be named, and in July 2023 I proposed—to the Working Group Small Bodies Nomenclature (WGSBN) committee of the International Astronomical Union—naming these asteroids in honor of my great-grandfathers.”The asteroids found by Filipp Romanov are:2022 WY16 is now 623826 Alekseyvarkin, named after the discoverer’s great-grandfather Aleksey Makarovich Varkin, who was wounded in World War II while rescuing horses, and later decorated for the act of heroism.The orbit of asteroid 623826 Alekseyvarkin. Credit: NASA/JPL.On a 4.4 year orbit around the Sun, 623826 Alekseyvarkin is a main-belt asteroid, and a member of the Eunomia family of asteroids. Another well-known possible member of the family is asteroid 162173 Ryuku, visited by JAXA’s Hayabusa-2 mission in 2018 and 2019.Next, 2022 WY17 is now 623827 Nikandrilyich, named after the discoverer’s great-grandfather Nikandr Ilyich Romanov, who served as a military veterinarian and later a foreman.On a 5.78 year orbit, asteroid 623827 Nikandrilyich is an outer main-belt asteroid.An Impressive Amateur Astronomer ResumeFilipp observes from far eastern Russia in Nakhodka. This unique locale often fills coverage in a needed longitude gap when it comes to observers worldwide. At age 26, he is self-educated in astronomy. Filipp is the discoverer of 81 variable stars, 3 novae, 2 supernovae, 4 binary stars, and now, 2 asteroids. Not bad.A recent Starlink satellite train pass over Nakhodka. Credit: Filipp Romanov.Romanov has a passion for astronomy, and his path serves to inspire anyone out there to ‘just do it.’“I, my mother and our 18-year old cat are now in the same locality Yuzhno-Morskoy (in my small homeland) near the city of Nakhodka, in the housing of my old grandparents where I independently (based on self-education) make my discoveries in astronomy as an amateur astronomer. I love to study and popularize the science of astronomy, and plan to study as an astronomer at university in the near future in order to make even greater contributions to the science of astronomy.”Supernova SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel Galaxy Messier 101. Credit: Filipp Romanov.A New Generation of Astronomical DiscoveryAn amazing story, for sure. And there’s more to come. All-sky surveys such as the Vera Rubin Observatory will come online in early 2025. Vera Rubin promises to scour the sky several times a night down below +21st magnitude. These surveys will produce a fire hose of images for anyone with an internet connection to scour though. The time for online sleuths to hunt for asteroids and comets has never been better.Naming a space rock offers a small bit of immortality, out in the depths of the solar system. You can imagine asteroid miners in a future straight out of The Expanse, approaching a prospective space rock. They may wonder just where its obscure name came from as it looms ahead. Fraser (the publisher of Universe Today) has an asteroid, 158092 Frasercain, as do several names in the online skeptical community. As of writing this, I have yet to have the honor, but you just never know…Congrats to Romanov on his surreptitious discoveries, and here’s to more to come!-Follow Filipp on Flickr, YouTube and his own live journal.

Fotoğraf pembe bir ayı gösteriyor.— UnsplashNisan ayı, gece gökyüzünü görmeyi seven insanları bir araya getiren ABD merkezli Astronomers Without Borders tarafınca Küresel Astronomi Ayı olarak belirlendi. Nisan, uzayla ilgili vakalar için kayda kıymet bir aydır. Sema gözlemcilerinin not alması ihtiyaç duyulan bazı mühim vakalar şunlardır: Tam Pembe Ay 5 ve 6 Nisan34P/PANSTARRS kuyruklu yıldızı uçuşu 7 Nisan'da20 Nisan tam güneş tutulmasıLyrid meteor yağmuru 21, 22, 23 Nisan5 ve 6 Nisan – Tam Pembe Ay 6 Nisan 12:37 EDT'de Şimal Yarımküre'nin ilk dolunayı en parlak halinde olacak. Pembe Ay'ın tamamı ilk kez 5 Nisan'da görünecek, sadece en yüksek aydınlatması Doğu Saati'nde oldukca erken olduğundan, Batı saat dilimleri 5 Nisan arifesinde zirveye şahit olacak. 7 Nisan - 34P/PANSTARRS kuyruklu yıldızı yakın geçişteki en yakın noktasındaNisan ayının başlarında, Jüpiter ailesinden kuyruklu yıldız 364P/PANSTARRS, Dünya'nın yanından 11 milyon millik bir mesafeden uçacak. Kuyruklu yıldız "kurnaz" takımyıldızı Vulpecula'da olacak ve parlaklık büyüklüğünün 12.3 civarında olacağı tahmin ediliyor. Hem Şimal hem de Cenup yarım küreler onu görebilecek, sadece Şimal enlemlerinde olanlar onu daha net görebilecekler. Fotoğraf bir güneş tutulması gösteriyor.— Unsplash20 Nisan - Tam güneş tutulması Tutulmalar tipik olarak coşku verici vakalar olsa da, bunun benzersiz bir özelliği var. Dünya, ay ve güneşin son aşama alışılmadık bir kozmik hizalanması, tam bir güneş tutulmasıyla sonuçlanır. Bir sonraki güneş tutulması 2031 yılına kadar sürecek ve 2013'ten bu yana türünün ilk örneği olacak.20 Nisan'da bir yeniay, güneş ışığını kısmen engelleyecek. Ay, eliptik yörüngesinde Dünya'dan tüm güneşi tamamen kaplamak için birazcık fazla uzakta olduğundan kısa bir süre için tam bir güneş tutulması oluşturamayacak. Hint Okyanusu üstünde kısa bir ateş halkası görülecek, sadece Ay Gölgesi güneşi tamamen kapatacak.21, 22 ve 23 Nisan - Lyrid meteor yağmuruLyrids'in 21 yada 22 Nisan'da başlayıp 23 Nisan'a kadar sürmesi umut ediliyor. 23 Nisan 09:06 EDT'de zirve umut ediliyor. Lyrids'in zirvesinin darlığına karşın, 19 Nisan'daki yeni ay, gözlemcilerin gece gökyüzünü görmesini engellemeyecek.
