The Zodiacal Light of a late autumn/early winter morning faintly visible amid the moonlight from the waning crescent Moon, at centre here as the brightest object, flaked by three planets: Venus the brightest below, Mars, just above the Moon, and Jupiter, the bright object at top. The Moon and three planets define the morning ecliptic line and the angle of the Zodiacal Light which follows the ecliptic.

ISS006-E-28028 (February 2003) --- The Southern Cross (left center), the Coal Sack Nebula (bottom left), and the Carina Nebula (upper right) are visible in this view photographed by astronaut Donald R. Pettit, Expedition Six NASA ISS science officer, on board the International Space Station (ISS). The Carina Nebula is a molecular cloud about 9000 light years from Earth where young stars are forming. The Coal Sack Nebula is an inky-black dust cloud about 2000 light years from Earth. Stars are probably condensing deep inside the Coal Sack, but their light has not yet broken through the clouds dense exterior. The Southern Cross, also known as The Crux, is a constellation familiar to southern hemisphere stargazers.

A trio of Geminid meteors over the Chiricahua Mountains in southeast Arizona, with Orion and the winter stars setting. I shot this at the end of the night of December 13/14, 2017 with the rising waxing crescent Moon providing some ground illumination. This is a stack of one image for the ground and two fainter meteors, and another image with the bright meteor. The camera was on a Star Adventurer Mini tracker so the stars are not trailed, though the ground will be slightly blurred. Orion is a

NASA image captured March 27, 2012NASA successfully launched five suborbital sounding rockets this morningfrom its Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia as part of a study of the upperlevel jet stream. The first rocket was launched at 4:58 a.m. EDT and eachsubsequent rocket was launched 80 seconds apart. Each rocket released achemical tracer that created milky, white clouds at the edge of space.Tracking the way the clouds move can help scientists understand the movementof the winds some 65 miles up in the sky, which in turn will help createbetter models of the electromagnetic regions of space that can damageman-made satellites and disrupt communications systems. The launches andclouds were reported to be seen from as far south as Wilmington, N.C.; westto Charlestown, W. Va.; and north to Buffalo, N.Y.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - A beautiful sun rises on Floridas space coast as preparations are underway for mating the final solid rocket motor (SRM) to a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket at the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The Atlas V will carry NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission into space.MSL's components include a compact car-sized rover, Curiosity, which has 10 science instruments designed to search for evidence on whether Mars has had environments favorable to microbial life, including chemical ingredients for life. The unique rover will use a laser to look inside rocks and release its gasses so that the rovers spectrometer can analyze and send the data back to Earth. MSL is scheduled to launch Nov. 25 with a window extending to Dec. 18 and arrival at Mars Aug. 2012.

A telescopic view of Comet Wirtanen / 46P on December 6, 2018 with it in the field with several moderately bright stars in Eridanus. A faint ion tail is visible extending upwards at the 10 o’clock” position, which is more or less the comet’s direction of travel. Taken from home in southern Alberta.The comet was passing through the Clarke Belt this night so some geosynchronous satellite trails appeared in some frames, requiring a median stack mode and some cloning to eliminate.

$One of a short series of images showing the development of an aurora display from a classic arc into a more complex pattern of concentric arcs and with loops and swirls. This was Feb 5, 2019 from the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. The outburst lasted only 5 minutes or so and might have been due to the Bz interplanetary field turning south briefly. After this series, the display faded and fractured into faint arcs and a diffuse glow across the sky. This is a single exposure with the 12mm Ro$
