In September 2019, the closest ever tidal disruption event (TDE), classified as AT2019qiz, was observed at the European Southern Observatory in Chile.

On the 14th July, at the 2022 Royal Astronomical Society-hosted National Astronomy Meeting, Dr Morrell presented a revolutionary tool to diagnose skin cancer. Yes, it has something to do with astronomy!

Comet C/17 K2 (PanSTARRS) has made its closest approach to earth earlier today (July 14th) at around 3am GMT and is currently headed towards the sun, reaching its perihelion later this year on the 19th of Decem

I am sitting here at home on this rare clear night and I have scopes out there capturing the comet, the moon, and globular clusters.

Not just one, not two, but five carefully selected full-colour images reveal the full power of the JWST for the first time !

Sometimes when there is a cool event like a comet, or even if you want to show the progression of the stars through the sky a timelapse can be an awesome way to do it. But, who do you make one?

For decades, astronomers had been scratching their heads about this mystery: how could objects with masses of thousands of solar masses at birth form so early in the cosmic timeline?

The winners of this contest have already been announced.

Today is podium day!

If you're like me you will use some (or all) of the nice data on Telescope Live and will spend time processing it to make nice looking pictures.

Yes, liquid mirror telescopes are a thing !

I bought a new camera called a Player One Apollo Max with an IMX 432 mono sensor for some solar imaging and of course living where I do we didn't have any clear skies.
