The Moon and Venus from our garden tonight. Mt Eliza, Victoria, Australia @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social
In our First Nations traditions (the first astronomers) Venus is the sister of the Sun and wife to Jupiter. Lovely to see them so close. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social
Venus, Jupiter and Mercury (below and left of Jupiter) over Narrm this evening. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social (I’m hoping for some clear skies during the World Cup half-times - some 2am and 5am starts)
Venus and Jupiter conjunction. Nearly hit our tree! @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social
The Tarantula nebula located in the LMC (sorry you northerners can’t see this). Taken with the Celestron Origin Mark II smart scope. 5 April 2026. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social
The Milky Way from a site near Coonabarabran, NSW. @davidbflower.bsky.social @peterlewis55.bsky.social
Travelling to Lightning Ridge and stopped overnight near Coonabarabran to enjoy the night sky. LMC and SMC on show @davidbflower.bsky.social
Caught a nice “crab” last night. Waiting for the gold to arrive. @davidbflower.bsky.social (shame Newcastle could quite score more over City)
The Victorian bush fire smoke drifted over my home today. I was able to photograph Sunspots without the aid of a filter. @davidbflower.bsky.social @loreguerrieri.bsky.social @simoncarn.bsky.social
#HayliGubbi SO2 (UTLS only) retrievals using Himawari-8 IR channels. (1 day’s worth at 30 min intervals). @simoncarn.bsky.social @davidmpyle.bsky.social

Got the shot I was hoping for: C/2025 R2 (SWAN) and the Eagle nebula. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social @astronomy.blue
Made a video of C/2025 R2(SWAN) 15-10-2025, 5-min intervals (75 min duration) - note the small tail pointing away from the Sun and in the direction of travel. It’s leaving the Solar system - back in -700 years (my ashes will be waiting …🙄) @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social
Proof (as if we needed any) that the Earth is a sphere (oblate). @dylanodonnell.bsky.social @davidbflower.bsky.social @daraobriain.bsky.social
Totality. Merged exposures with light painting using an iPhone torch and Sony A7iii +77 mm focal length. @dylanodonnell.bsky.social @davidbflower.bsky.social
Jupiter and Venus with some background laughing - a typical Australian early morning chorus. @davidbflower.bsky.social (thanks for the heads-up!)
The Lagoon nebula (M8). Can you see the Bok globules? I’ve rotated the image 90 degrees and you can make out a monster cradling the massive star Herschel 36. @davidbflower.bsky.social @astroroyalscot.bsky.social

#lewotobi eruption 7/7/25. True colour Himawari-9. Ashy eruption but not “big”. Data courtesy: JMA/JAXA (processed by me). @simoncarn.bsky.social @simonsat.bsky.social @mparrington.bsky.social
Moderate VEI~2-3 Lewotobi eruption. Dissipating after a couple of hours (but maybe more to come?) #volcano #indonesia @geophotographer.org @simoncarn.bsky.social @simonsat.bsky.social
