Sunsets will forever be my favorite part of the day. Some argue that they’re all the same, but I say it’s exactly the opposite. Creative photographer Dario Giannobile observed the sky in the sunset, recording its changes day after day. And he came up with an idea. Combining time sequencing and 360-degree photography, he has created unique “stellar flowers” that will leave you speechless.
Celebrate Hubble’s 33rd birthday with this stunning star-forming region photo
Hubble Space Telescope was sent into orbit around Earth on April 25, 1990. Even though it got a younger and more powerful brother, James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’ still going strong and taking magnificent photos.
To celebrate Hubble’s 33rd anniversary, NASA and ESA have released a stunning photo of a star-forming region called NGC 1333. It’s one of those photos that, the more you look, the more details you spot and enjoy.
First-ever black hole photo gets sharper thanks to AI
In 2019, National Science Foundation and Event Horizon Telescope captured the first-ever photo of a supermassive black hole. And now, the blurry blob that excited us so much back then has got its fancy, sharp, more detailed version.
A team of researchers has developed a new AI model and used it to give the iconic photo a makeover. This gives us a totally new look at the black hole and gives scientists more information about it.
Indian space agency shares photos of Earth as you’ve never seen before
We’ve seen photos of the Earth from space many, many times. We’re used to seeing it as the “blue marble,” just as it was named in the iconic Apollo 17 image. But the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released photos of our planet as we’ve never seen before.
They show the Earth’s land in warm tones of red, yellow, and brown, giving us a whole new impression of the planet we call home.
Amateur astrophotographers shoot the oldest known nebula in the universe
Back in 2017, my wife and I went out to the desert to take a picture of a small open cluster known as Messier 37. The picture came out nice, it shows the bright cluster, full of blue, white, and yellow stars, in front of a very dark background. One thing we did not know, though, was that this cluster hides the oldest planetary nebula ever found in the universe!
Feast your eyes on this colorful Hubble image of Ring Nebula
While NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope showed us some previously unknown details of the Southern Ring Nebula, Hubble is still alive and kicking, and the photos it takes are still magnificent. Paired with great processing, they truly show the beauty and marvel of the universe, and NASA’s recent Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the Southern Ring Nebula in captivating colors.
Astrophotographers, don’t miss the “celestial parade” as five planets align this week
Astrophotographers and astronomy enthusiasts rejoice, as this week we’ll be treated to a “planetary parade.” Starting tonight, as many as five planets of our solar system will get aligned in the sky: Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Uranus, and Mars.
This jaw-dropping image of tornado on the Sun took nearly 100,000 photos to create
Last week, a massive 14-Earths-tall tornado was spotted on the Sun’s surface. It was a real treat for everyone who watched it, even just in a video. But photographers Andrew McCarthy and Jason Guenzel did more than just observe. The two photographers teamed up and captured the solar tornado in an exquisite 140 MP image.
It took 200,000 photos, tons of data, and several days to complete, but it was worth it. The duo ended up with a jaw-dropping, super-sharp image of the incredible phenomenon. And I’m happy to say that they shared it with DIYP, along with some info about how they took it.
Watch: 14-Earths tall tornado hurls across the Sun’s surface
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recently shared a fascinating timelapse video of a tornado on the Sun’s surface. It swirled across the star’s north pole, prompting astrophotographers to turn their telescopes and cameras towards the Sun. The massive tornado reached the height of around 75,000 miles (120,000 kilometers), which makes it, most likely, the tallest tornado ever seen.
This photo of glacier on Mars shows hint of water on the Red Planet
The joke about water on Mars has been on the internet longer than I have. But all joke aside, astronomers have been searching for traces of water on the Red Planet ever since I can remember.
Earlier this week, researchers from the SETI Institute and the Mars Institute revealed a “relict glacier” they discovered on Mars. It suggests that surface water ice on Mars may have existed more recently than it was previously thought.
