Partial Solar Eclipse From The Sagrada Família In Barcelona
A view of the partial solar eclipse in Barcelona, Spain, on March 29, 2025. The phenomenon begins at 11:02 AM, reaches its peak at 11:48 AM, and ends at 12:36 PM. At its maximum, approximately 23.7% of the Sun is covered by the Moon. This eclipse is the first in a series of major astronomical events that will be visible in Spain in the coming years, including total eclipses in 2026 and 2027, and an annular eclipse in 2028.

The near full Super Blue Moon rises over The Shard through a band of cloud in central London. This August's full moon, known as The Sturgeon moon is a Supermoon, the first of four this year, is also called a Blue Moon as it is the third full moon of an astronomical season that has four full moons. The term Supermoon refers to a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth.

Amazing new detailed image of the planet Uranus

Uranus 1
Ref 15399

See Ferrari text
Pictures MUST credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
A stunning new image of the planet Uranus has amazed astronomers and scientists showing a luminous, ringed world.
The detailed images are from a compilation of shits by the James Webb space telescope launched into space in 2021 to take the most highly detailed images of the solar system and beyond .
Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun, is an ice giant, thought to be more than 80% icy water, ammonia, and methane surrounding a rocky core;
Though Uranus’ rings were imaged before, the new image adds the planet’s faint Zeta ring, the one closest to the planet.
The Webb image also shows 14 of the planet’s 27 moons: Oberon, Titania, Umbriel, Juliet, Perdita, Rosalind, Puck, Belinda, Desdemona, Cressida, Ariel, Miranda, Bianca, and Portia.
OPS: Image of Uranus taken from Near-Infrared Camera on the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope . It shows the planet and its rings in new clarity.

Carbon dioxide find gives hope for life supporting conditions on Jupiter moon

The hope of finding conditions suitable for life on one of the moons orbiting giant planet Jupiter, have been given a boost — with the discovery of carbon.
Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of a handful of worlds in the solar system that astronomers and scientists think could potentially harbour conditions for life
Previous research has shown that beneath its water-ice crust lies a salty ocean of liquid water with a rocky seafloor.
Planetary scientists had not been able to establish if that ocean contained the chemicals needed for life, particularly carbon.
But now astronomers using data from US space agency NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific surface region.
Analysis indicates that this carbon likely originated in the subsurface ocean and was not delivered by meteorites or other external sources and in a geologically recent timescale.
This discovery has important implications for the potential habitability of Europa’s ocean.
One of two lead authors of the study, Geronimo Villanueva of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA, said: “On Earth, life likes chemical diversity – the more diversity, the better.
“We’re carbon-based life. Understanding the chemistry of Europa’s ocean will help us determine whether it’s hostile to life as we know it, or if it might be a good place for life.”
OPS: Europa surface capture by the Near Infrared Camera on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Webb identified carbon dioxide on the icy surface of Europa that likely originated in the moon’s subsurface ocean.

Plan to combat global warming with sun shade tied to asteroid
Ferrari Press Agency
Umbrella 1
Ref 15026
14/08/2023
See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: Brooks Bays/UH Institute for Astronomy
A plan to help reduce the effects of global warming has been revealed— using an umbrella-like sun shield attached to an asteroid.
The shield would reduce the amount of sunlight hitting Earth, using a tethered, captured asteroid as a counterweight.
Engineering studies using this approach could start now to create a workable design that could mitigate climate change within decades according to astronomer István Szapudi, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii.
Szapudi believes one of the simplest approaches to reducing the global temperature is to shade the Earth from a fraction of the Sun’s light.
This shield idea without a counterbalance has been previously proposed.
But the large amount of weight needed to make a shield massive enough to balance gravitational forces and prevent solar radiation pressure from blowing it away makes even the lightest materials prohibitively expensive.
Szapudi’s creative solution consists of two innovations.
One is using a tethered counterweight instead of just a massive shield, resulting in making the total mass more than 100 times less.
The other is using a captured asteroid as the counterweight to avoid launching most of the mass from Earth.
OPS: Render of the idea showing how a solar shield tethered to an asteroid.

Pictures MUST credit: Vaonis
Smartphone-owning star gazing fans can now turn their device into a powerful space watching telescope thanks to a new gadget.
The book-sized Hestia has an adjustable cradle to fit just about any phone made now or in the future.
It features six 30 mm lenses in three groups.
Light entering the system is routed by prisms to focus up toward the camera array on the rear of a user’s smartphone.
Adjustable magnets help the user to line up the main camera so that it rests on Hestia's eyepiece.
Sensor size and image definition will depend on the smartphone used with the telescope, but up to 25x magnification is possible.
A companion mobile app uses proprietary processing algorithms to combine numerous short-exposure images to form a single enhanced view of the night sky through the lens.
The app also makes an interactive map of the sky available to the user, which assists in locating interesting targets as well as unit positioning for best results.
A library of astronomical information can also be accessed through the app focused on whatever the user is looking at in the night sky.

Sensor size and image definition will depend on the smartphone used with the telescope, but up to 25x magnification is possible.
A companion mobile app uses proprietary processing algorithms to combine numerous short-exposure images to form a single enhanced view of the night sky through the lens.
The app also makes an interactive map of the sky available to the user, which assists in locating interesting targets as well as unit positioning for best results.
A library of astronomical information can also be accessed through the app focused on whatever the user is looking at in the night sky.

An audacious plan to land a space rover on one of the moon’s orbiting Mars has been announced.
The rover, built by the French and German space agencies will be placed aboard a mission being prepared by Japan.
The Martian Moon eXploration project, known as MMX, will target one of the Red Planet’s two moons, Phobos.
There have been several unsuccessful attempts to land on Phobos, the smallest of the satellites.
Phobos is just 22km in diameter but its make-up, just like that of its Mars sister moon Deimos, is a mystery.
Under the new agreement, the German-French rover will land on Phobos and conduct a mobile exploration despite the extremely low gravity there.
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency , JAXA, has signed an agreement with the German Aerospace Center, known as DLR and France’s Centre national d'études spatiales, known as CNES.
The rover, named IDEFIX, is due to be completed in the coming months.

The most detailed ever images of one of the two moons orbiting Mars have been captured.
The images of Deimos were taken by a space probe named Hope and launched by the United Arab Emirates Space Agency.
The UAE’s Mars Mission enabled Hope a close-up fly by of the satellite which looks more like a giant rock.
The unmanned probe, launched in July 2020, flew as close as 100km, the closest any space mission has flown to Deimos
It has been orbiting the planet since February 2021.
Amongst its many duties it captured detailed images of areas on the far side never pictured in great detail before.
