Shadow, First of His Name

If we could live forever, imagine drifting through the endless vast sea of the cosmos for billion of years. Not staying in one place but always moving. Of all the things we would have seen.

I'm excited to learn more about this visitor.

Space · Astronomers say new interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is 'very likely to be the oldest comet we have ever seen'By Robert Lea

🚀 Voyager 1 isn’t done yet — not even close 🧠🔧📡

NASA just pulled off another miracle save:
🛰️ The spacecraft’s primary roll thrusters, offline since 2004, were believed permanently dead
🧯 With backup thrusters at risk of failure, JPL engineers gambled on a high-stakes heater reset
🔥 If wrong, it could’ve caused a small onboard explosion
📡 If right, it would restore control — 15.6 billion miles from Earth

They were right. The thrusters fired. Voyager 1 can still hold its course.

This wasn’t a reboot. It was old-school problem-solving, deep systems knowledge, and the audacity to trust an idea that might just work.

The most distant human object is still flying — because a team believed it could.

The Register · NASA keeps ancient Voyager 1 spacecraft alive with Hail Mary thruster fixBy Brandon Vigliarolo

Finally got around to doing all the processing from the images I shot over the last couple of weeks - about 17 hours in total exposure time went into this image of M63, the Sunflower Galaxy, from my back garden telescope (a 200mm Newtonian - full details of my hardware and capture setup here talkunafraid.co.uk/astro/equip ). Processed in #pixinsight. Quite happy with how it turned out - post-processing is always a learning experience! #astrophotography #deepspace

Last Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸

🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.
