Mirrors, not lenses, are the eyes of the most powerful Telescopes. Why? The observation of the Universe from Earth is subject to a phenomenon known as "seeing", because the electromagnetic radiation of celestial bodies passing through our atmosphere is distorted, blurring images captured by Optical Telescopes. Reflectors Telescopes overcome this challenge delivering sharper images by using Optical Mirrors, that not only collect light focusing it onto a point, but also can have larger dimensions of lenses embedded on Refractors Telescopes. Can you guess why Mirrors can have larger diameters than Lenses? Discover it in our article in the first comment. #optics #madeinitaly #telescopes #astronomy

🔭 Capturing the Beauty of Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) from Australia! 🌠 At Spaceflux, our roots in #astronomy continue to shape our approach to space situational awareness and orbital safety. On September 27, 2024, at 19:15 UT, we captured this stunning image of #comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS), 134 million km from Earth, using our 35-cm telescope based in Australia. While this comet poses no immediate threat, it represents the celestial wonders that make our work as important as it is exciting. Our longstanding collaboration with Telescope Live Ltd allows us to produce precise astronomical observations, contributing not only to space situational awareness but also to planetary #defense by tracking potentially hazardous objects. Observation Details 📅 Date & Time: Sept. 27, 2024, 19:15 UT 📍 Location: Spaceflux Telescope, Australia 📊 Exposure: 12x30-second capture, comet positioned +8 degrees on the horizon. This observation reminds us that natural objects like comets can intersect with vital orbital regions. By tracking them, we help ensure a safer space environment for #satellites, commercial operations, and beyond. Feel free to reach out to learn how Spaceflux’s expertise in both space safety and planetary observation can help you secure your space assets. #SSA

How did the universe form? What are black holes? Are we alone? These are the questions the new Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) aims to uncover. The European Southern Observatory's ELT is a revolutionary ground-based #telescope that will be the largest visible and infrared light telescope in the world, revolutionizing #astronomy with its unprecedented view, and helping uncover details about the universe and its origins while pushing the boundaries of exploration.

#DidYouKnow University of Massachusetts Amherst astronomers are part of the Event Horizon Consortium, an international team of astronomers that captured the first-ever image of a black hole? The team recently released new images of M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, using data from observations taken in April 2018. The 2018 observations include participation of the newly commissioned Greenland Telescope and a dramatically improved recording rate across the telescope array.

Following one of the observations made by our Citizen Astronomer team on a double star system, it initially appeared to be a triple star system using the 0.4m LCO telescope. PACS e-Lab then reached out to one of our global partners, Dr. Nick Hardy in Belgium, who operates two large telescopes in Chile – a 1m and a 0.6m. We requested him to use his bigger telescopes to capture images of that system. Here is what he captured. Upon visualizing these images, it turns out that the system is indeed a double star system with an approximate separation of 3". #research #citizenscience #spaceexploration #webtelescope #astronomy #education #africa

Predicting the brightness of a comet is notoriously a very unreliable science, yet there's a glimmer of hope that Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (C/2023 A3) could be a very good one in October as it makes its way from the Oort Cloud around the sun for the very first time. Most comets are massive naked-eye disappointments, but once in a great while, they can be amazing. Early and very optimistic predictions say it could be as bright as Sirius or Venus. Currently, Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is a very dim 10th-magnitude fuzzball in Virgo. Sky and Telescope has observing tips.
