Almost no sunspots these days, hehe

New mosaic from Mercury

Lovejoy is in Taurus now

Weird things going on: first, Ganymede partially eclipsed Callisto; then Europa partially eclipsed Io. Hah, what the hell? Basically the two pairs of Io-Europa and Ganymede-Callisto swap their apparent positions.

The double mutual event in the pic above........ where is that observed from ?
If you were standing on Mars you wouldnt see that alignment?

Observed from Earth with normal Nikon camera (no telescope).
Obviously from Mars it's not the same.

Situated high in Mercury's southern hemisphere, Han Kan is a 50-km-diameter impact crater with a well preserved central peak and a smooth floor that is likely solidified impact melt.

Am i reading it right. That is a 2 second real time vid or time lapse ? So it was actually visible like that ?

Tiny Epimetheus is dwarfed by adjacent slivers of the A and F rings. But is it really? Looks can be deceiving! There is approximately 10 to 20 times more mass in that tiny dot than in the piece of the A ring visible in this image!

It isn't waste of time. It's exploration of Solar system. It's getting to know our place in the Universe. It's science and imagination. Just imagine how many new pictures and videos of other worlds we'll get to see in the next couple of years.

In the meantime another coronal hole
