NASA vs. an 8" telescope. 🔭✨
Derek (@chroniclesofthecosmos) puts images from NASA's Hubble side-by-side with views captured using his Celestron 8" telescope.
Take a look at the comparisons and see how they stack up.
Which object caught your eye the most?
#Astronomy #Astrophotography #BackyardAstronomy #Celestron #NightSky
One of the stars in Orion is called Betelgeuse.
It’s a red supergiant — one of the largest stars visible to the naked eye.
Astronomers know it will explode someday.
When it does, it will briefly shine brighter than most stars in the sky.
Have you ever seen Betelgeuse?
#Betelgeuse #Supernova #SpaceFacts #Astronomy #EchoesOfTheMoon
For the next century, Earth may seem to have two suns in the sky. Betelgeuse isn’t going supernova tomorrow, but in 100,000 years, its time will come. Despite being a million times larger than our sun, Betelgeuse has a fleeting lifespan of just 10 million years.
If only I could witness that cosmic spectacle!"

NASA vs My Telescope 🔭 Nebula Edition | What I Actually Saw
You’ve seen how nebulae look through NASA… but here’s what my small backyard telescope really captured! 🌌✨ Which nebula amazed you the most? 👇

Backyard telescope vs. NASA – Round 2
Most people assume images like this require a space telescope or a multi-million dollar observatory. They don't. My images were taken from my backyard telescopes.
Nebulas are about capturing faint clouds of gas and dust. It's not necessarily about how big and powerful your telescope is (although that helps). It's about how much light you collect and the conditions you collect them under.
My images were shot with an 80mm refractor and a 200mm SCT. Both sitting in my backyard, both a fraction of the size of Hubble's 2.4 meter primary mirror. We're talking telescopes you could carry versus a telescope the size of a school bus floating in space orbit.
And yet, side by side at a glance, the difference is smaller than most people expect. Wild huh?

Somewhere out there, light from this took thousands of years to reach us. And now it's on your feed. Let that sink in. 🌠
🪐 Meteor Borealis
🔭 Did you know?
A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The meteor's incandescent trace is fleeting. It appears to cross the stars of the Big Dipper, famous northern asterism and celestial kitchen utensil, while shimmering curtains of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, dance in the night. Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun. Gallery: Perseid Meteor Shower 2024 and Aurorae

The mysterious Horsehead Nebula captured through a professional telescope 🔭✨
This dark nebula, located in the constellation Orion, looks like a horse’s head floating in space — one of the most iconic cosmic structures ever discovered 🌌
Seeing this level of detail reminds us how vast and beautiful our universe truly is 💫#horseheadnebula #reels #deepspace #cosmos #stargazing
