The interstellar visitor 31Atlas will pass 167.1 million ml from Earth on 19 December 2025, when it will be inside the asteroid belt and beyond the 4:1 Kirkwood gap.
It will then head on to Jupiter where it will pass it in the Spring of 2026.
After that it will continue on it's way out of the solar system never to return.

Moon. I used my 80mm ED refractor along with StarShoot SolarSystem Color Imager IV and software to create this image

solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/754/what-is-a-lagrange-point/
The easiest way to understand Lagrange points is to think of them in much the same way that wind speeds can be inferred from a weather map. The forces are strongest when the contours of the effective potential are closest together and weakest when the contours are far apart.
Lagrange Contours
L4 and L5 correspond to hilltops and L1, L2 and L3 correspond to saddles (i.e. points where the potential is curving up in one direction and down in the other). This suggests that satellites placed at the Lagrange points will have a tendency to wander off (try sitting a marble on top of a watermelon or on top of a real saddle and you get the idea). But when a satellite parked at L4 or L5 starts to roll off the hill it picks up speed. At this point the Coriolis force comes into play - the same force that causes hurricanes to spin up on the earth - and sends the satellite into a stable orbit around the Lagrange point.
Very good seeing this night. The mount for the C14 is currently out of commission, so I used my Edge HD 925 with a CGEM DX mount the school has.
This is from 13 45 s SER files taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera with 3x Barlow and a ZWO UV/IR cut filter. I used FIreCapture to take this data. SER files were used to create stacks of the best 24% of about 800 frames in AutoStakkert, and those stacks were processed in PixInsight. The resulting images were registered and derotated in WinJUPOS, with the result undergoing some final tweaks in GIMP.
During the next shadow transit, Titan will also cross the face of Saturn.

Thick grey clouds. So dark. So a little play with some oil on water. I am pretending that is the sun and planets.
Reprocess of a Jupiter image from last week. Additional sharpening was applied and then de-noised using Topaz Labs de-noise which is an amazing piece of software

Comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS), currently the brightest comet in the sky. This image is from the dark and clear morning of June 30th from suburban Bloomington, Ind., with the comet against the rich star background of the constellation Ophiucus. It will be getting a little closer to Earth in the next couple of weeks and so may still be a bit brighter, but will be up against a bright, full Moon, so this may be the best I can do.
29 frames, 180 sec. each. Explore Scientific ED102 102mm f/7 refractor, ZWO ASI294MC Pro cooled camera, UV/IR cutoff filter, iOptron CEM25P mount, auto-guided, ASIAir controller. Processed in Astro Pixel Processor, Lightroom, and Photoshop.
Images were combined twice, once with the stars aligned but the comet trailed and again with the comet registered but the stars trailed. These two rendered images were combined in Photoshop to produce the composite.

This from 6 45 s SER files taken with a ZWO ASI224MC camera with 3x Barlow and a ZWO UV/IR cut filter through the C14 at Cerritos College. I used FIreCapture to take this data. SER files were used to create stacks of the best 26% of frames in AutoStakkert, and those stacks were processed in PixInsight. The resulting images were registered and derotated in WinJUPOS, with the result undergoing some final tweaks in GIMP.
Acidalia Planitia and Chryse Planitia are visible on the left side of the northern hemisphere below the north polar cap. There appears to be some weather just south of the polar cap toward the limb of the planet.
Venus conjunction with Crescent moon on 09 Oct 2021 in Scorpius constellation. However, Venus is paired with star called Dschubba. In this image, planet Venus is about 3 arc degree from the 3 days old Moon. Also, you can see the Earthshine on the Moon’s dark side with 9% illuminated crescent.
Jupiter opposition on 26/09/2022 with its closest approach to Earth by about 150 million km with . apparent diameter of 50 arc second. Jupiter currently is about 590 million km from Earth. The image shows Europa , one of Jupiter moons on the left of the planet. This closest approach will happen again after 59 years.

This looks like a flipped version of the "Saturn's rings" photo (Photo ID: P-23883C/BW) from the NASA NSSDC Photo Gallery: nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/photo_gallery/photogallery-saturn.html
It was taken by Voyager 2 on July 21, 1981.

Exploration reveals that our solar system is filled with amazingly diverse places that transform our understanding of Earth and worlds beyond.
The Kenneth C. Griffin Exploring the Planets Gallery probes the science and history of our exploration of planets and moons. This exhibit tells the stories of the diversity of worlds circling our Sun and how exploring those worlds helps enhance our own understanding of Earth. Exploring the Planets draws on research from scientists in the Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, who are actively involved in current planetary missions.

Ormai il pianeta Giove si allontana sempre di più dalle condizioni ideali di osservazione. Fra la fine dell'anno scorso e l'inizio di questo, ho iniziato a fare sul serio e a riprendere in mano la mia grande passione: osservare il cielo e sentirmi parte dell'Universo.
Qui Giove ripreso qualche giorno fa con una focale equivalente di 2.250 mm su un telescopio dal diametro di 15cm. Il risultato è notevole perché arriva al limite massimo teorico dello strumento
Buona giornata

Well I have done my best to try and catch up with everyone, I was so far behind that I could only favourite photo's that I like as I just don't have the energy to comment on the all. I really want to keep up with everyone but I can't promise because I have been feeling so tired.
Today I managed to get a few photo's sorted that I hope to post over the next few days, mostly wildlife shots from last year plus of course photo's of Cirrus and Sweet Pea.

Part of a 120 frames timelapse, this frame show so much details of this lovely solar activity.
Andromeda Galaxy - the closest neighbouring galaxy to us at (only) 2.5 million light years.
This image is basically what Andromeda looked like 2.5 million years ago, when the light photons first started out on their long journey to Earth, before ultimately arriving on my camera sensor.
All of the individual stars you can see in this pic are actually in the foreground - a part of our own Milky Way, and therefore much closer to us than Andromeda.

Experts go easy on me! This is my very first attempt at photographing a DSO and I don't have a scope or tracker. Any advice appreciated :)
- 200mm, manually tracked by adjusting the tripod every 30 or so frames to keep the galaxy as central as possible.
- 400 x 1.6sec exposure (ISO16000,f2.8), 20 x dark frames, 20 x bias frames.
- Stacked using Deep Sky Stacker.
Ciao piccola cometa Wirtanen... sei stata difficile da vedere, con la tua chioma rotonda ed azzurra... sempre inseguita dalla luna e dal cattivo tempo... ci vediamo fra 5 anni, forse :)
Foto scattata alcuni giorni fa, 70mm f/4.
Buona giornata
