Auroras may once again be visible in northern parts of the U.S. this weekend as Earth braces for impact from a powerful coronal mass ejection.

Lots of space related news today and nobody post up anything about…. Shame shame shame

1) Very first commercial space walks and test of next gen 1st gen spacex space suits.
2) Mass ejection of matter from the Sun hits earth.
3) Increase radiation exposure for space men as high energy particles strike earth’s magnetic fields
4) And mega Northern lights show in the night sky tonight. Closer to poles you are the brighter it will be.

[redmanjp]

^supposed to be a partial eclipse too but only a lil piece of the moon blocked (less than 5% probably) so u wouldn't even notice that.

[st7]

kinda looks like an eyeball

We've got a temporary 2nd moon until late November this year. The science vlogs claim it's the size of a bus and can't be seen without a telescope but I'm seeing something. It looked like a dim star around 6:30 but now it seems to be flickering and going from white to red.

Also, a few degrees from the moon to your right there's a bright star with a misty glow about it. What's the deal with that?

[DMan7]

^ What them aliens trying to do to we bai?

[Les Bain]

Rowley might say they here to dig in we bamsee.

[st7]

anyone gonna try to see the comet?

[sMASH]

Too much cloud

[ttphilip]

I saw it tonight around 6.40pm from the foreshore. Visible with naked eye, and took some pics with my S23 cell phone (zoom in a bit)

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ oh wow!

[st7]

apparently tonight was a good night to watch cause it had less clouds... i saw someone post from chaguanas that they saw it from their house... lucky them

Yea she was tracking the time, she's a good friend. Used an iPhone 15 Pro to capture the shot, truly amazing what that phone can do for night skies. They also captured the Milky Way with it in Tobago.

you can get the milky way once there's little to no light pollution and use short/long exposure with any phone. once the camera app supports it and the camera sensor is decent. but since 2018 android had the astrophotography mode feature introduced.

[Val]

Yea I was able to get it with my iPhone 13 Pro last night.

[st7]

i was supposed to come there last night, but i saw the bunch of clouds...so i say i eh go bother

man hopefully today will be clear...

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

Saw it!

In case you are trying to find it that's Venus on the left and the comet on the right of this photo

[ttphilip]

I think it's the other way around.. Venus on the left and comet on the right

[st7]

i couldnt make it out with my eyes, but i saw it on my phone though

used night sight

[ttphilip]

I also saw it tonight from the foreshore..from around 6.30pm.

[ttphilip]

[st7]

it had plenty ppl there trying to see it? i doh mind going there if it safe enough lol

[ttphilip]

Quite a few. It was early, 6.30pm, I think it’s relatively safe that early. Bring camera or cell phone camera, maybe binoculars if you have
