Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured a time-lapse from inside #Mercury's orbit, showing coronal streamers, a Coronal Mass Ejection, and #planets like Mercury and #Venus. Between #Earth and #Mars, #Comet Tempel 1 appears. The video also shows high-energy solar particles. This data helps us understand space weather impacts on Earth.

Revisiting some old moon photos snapped on my phone. Here’s the moon and Jupiter last January 10, shining gloriously through a break in the clouds when I least expected it.

#Venus and #Jupiter at Dawn

Venus and Jupiter appeared very close in Monday's dawn, their nearest since 2000. This photo from Elba, Italy, shows them above the Tuscan coast. Venus moved towards the sunrise, while Jupiter rose higher. They'll meet again on June 30th at dusk.

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday!

"Above the theater [Corinth] is a sanctuary of #Zeus surnamed in the Latin tongue Kapetolion [Capitolinus, Of the Capitol], which might be rendered into Greek Koryphaios (Of the Head)."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 2.4.5

3D map of #exoplanet #atmosphere shows wacky climate
#Astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot #Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds that create intricate #weather patterns across that atmosphere.
"This planet’s atmosphere behaves in ways that challenge our understanding of how weather works."
#Astronomy and #Astrophysics reported on unexpected identification of #titanium in the exoplanet's atmosphere as well.

#Jupiter, hier leider ohne den berühmten Großen Roten Fleck.

#Moon, #Mercury, #Jupiter, #Mars

Predawn skies on Feb 23 revealed a crescent Moon with earthshine, joined by Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars in a remarkable conjunction. Captured over Tuggerah Lake, Australia, the photo shows the planets aligned above the glowing horizon.

#Antinous as a priest of #Attis wears diadem with plaques of Attis & #Jupiter. At the #Equinox, #Attis dies #cismale, and is reborn reborn #transgender. #AntoniusSubia says: "Attis severed his own testicles and died, but did not die."

Did you miss the excellent talk from Sarah Elizabeth McCandless? The free Westport Astronomical Society Lecture series is available on our YouTube channel to watch again or for the first time. Give us a follow and a thumbs up if you like these talks. https://youtube.com/live/0WiP0MYc2n4

(Art by #AntoniusSubia) ... As the Sun enters #Aries at the March #Equinox, we honor #Antinous in his special guise as #Antinoos #Mars. Mars, God of War, son of #Jupiter and #Juno, father of #Romulus and #Remus, founders of Rome, was the divine spirit of the Roman Army. His power ran like molten steel in the blood of Romans who he made them invincible. Mars energy flows through all LGBTQIA+ people and empowers us to stand up to fight for justice and equality.

One of the most enigmatic moons of the solar system is about to get a visitor to uncover the secrets of this icy/watery world. This is ONLINE ONLY and the classroom will be closed.

Astronomie geht auch am Nachmittag. Nicht nur die Sonne, auch alle inneren Planeten + Jupiter sind problemlos (mit einem 7" Teleskop) am Himmel zu sehen.

Swirls and Colors on #Jupiter from Juno

Jupiter's cloud colors remain a mystery, possibly due to trace elements like ammonium hydrosulfide. Lighter clouds are higher than darker ones in this color-enhanced image from Juno's 14th flyby. Juno orbits Jupiter every 53 days, studying different sectors.

It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / Thorsday!

"The surname Homagyrios (the Assembler) was given to #Zeus because in this place Agamemnon assembled the most eminent men in Greece, in order that they might consult together how to make war on the empire of Priamos [of Troy]."
Pausanias, Description of Greece 7.24.2

Took this Image in February as the Planet was standing very good for observation in my observatory. I love this Planet the most

war auch bei der zweiten Auswahlrunde für die #AIFactories in Europa erfolgreich!

Am @fzj wird die „JUPITER AI Factory“ um den ersten #Exascale-#Supercomputer #JUPITER entstehen. #KMU und #Startups können ihn damit nutzen und z.B. große KI-Modelle entwickeln.
