#ThrowbackThursday
Throwback to my first ever attempt at shooting the #Milkyway
I took on a big task, #Hiking 17km 1800m to the top of a #Mountain in the middle of the night on the hope I would get the shot... I still can't believe I had such an incredible success. This is still one of my absolute favorite #astrophotography photos.

"Skywatchers, get ready to witness some celestial activity as the Leonids and Northern Taurids meteor showers peak in mid-November."
From @USAToday: "The Leonid meteor shower is caused by space debris from Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, which collides with Earth's atmosphere. Two independent discoveries of the comet were made by Ernst Tempel in 1865 and Horace Tuttle in 1866, according to NASA."

Leonid meteor shower 2024: A visual guide to where and when to view
The Leonid meteor showers are among the night skies' most spectacular. Here's where to look and how to best see the spectacle., USA TODAY (USA TODAY)
It got a bit lost with everything else going on this week, but my (high school!) research student, Jack, has been working with me on building a low-cost home radio telescope to map Galactic 21 cm features, and his tutorial for others to do the same is now up on arXiv:
arxiv.org/abs/2411.00057

Galactic Neutral Hydrogen Structures Spectroscopy and Kinematics: Designing a Home Radio Telescope for 21 cm Emission
This study presents the methodology for creating a cost-efficient radio astronomy telescope that can be used to detect 21 cm emissions (1420.405 MHz) and determine the distribution and kinematics of neutral hydrogen specifically in the Milky Way.arXiv.org
To keep my American brain from exploding today, here are some remarkable new deep-space images from JWST.
First, a celestial smash-up. JWST's infrared eyes reveal cold dust that forms the "skeleton" of these colliding galaxies, known as IC 2163 and NGC 2207.

Eclipse of the Sun. By the moon Phobos. From the surface of Mars. Captured by NASA's Perseverance rover on September 30.
I will never stop being amazed that we can see such things.

NASA’s Perseverance Captures ‘Googly Eye’ During Solar Eclipse
The tiny, potato-shaped moon Phobos, one of two Martian moons, cast a silhouette as it passed in front of the Sun, creating an eye in Mars’ sky.NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
Comet C/2023 A3 next to the Milky Way and over the San Juan River, Utah. There's a big oxbow cutoff canyon that the river flows in that's barely visible in the dark portion of this photograph. As with my earlier comet photos, a moonlight, fill light is really helpful when photographing comets. Some moonlight would have been helpful to illuminate the canyon walls in this shot.

A fireball streaked by while Yasutaka Saika was taking a photograph of Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS, producing this beautiful, accidental celestial alignment.
Captured on Oct 24 from Tereske, Hungary.

American astronomer Henrietta Hill Swope was born #OTD in 1902.
Working with H. Shapley, she helped establish the famous period-luminosity relation for Cepheid variable stars, thereby permitting determination of the Sun's position in our galaxy and of distances to other galaxies. In 1962, using plates taken with the 200" Hale reflector by W. Baade, she determined the distance to the Andromeda galaxy to be 2.2 million light years.

The deeper you look into this wonderful new JWST image, the more there is to see.
Nearby stars, scenes of celestial birth farther away, galaxies everywhere in the background. Energy and action in play everywhere.

Webb finds candidates for first young brown dwarfs outside the Milky Way
An international team of astronomers has used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to detect the first rich population of brown dwarf candidates outside the Milky Way in the star cluster NGC 602.www.esawebb.org
Cloudy this evening, but here's my shot of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) last night ☄️
It's a 9 min stack of 5 sec images with my DSLR+85mm lens on a tripod, unguided, so the stars are slightly trailed 🤷♂️
I've removed a gradient due to light pollution over Mannheim, but there some residuals as I've kept the sky bright to trace the tail extending 10º towards β Oph & the IC4665 cluster at top-left & see the faint anti-tail below 👍
