Used my Pixel 9pro last night (10/10) and tried astrophotography for the first time and I wanted to capture the milky way. Edited the photos with Adobe Lightroom. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
NGC 6334, the Cat's Paw Nebula: this image represents 4 hours and 40 minutes of integration time using a Tecnosky AG 90 (90/450 f/5) telescope and a ZWO ASI 6200 MC-P camera. It consists of 18 exposures taken with an L-Extreme filter, along with 10 dark, 10 flat, and 10 bias frames. I processed the data using PixInsight and Photoshop, aiming to extract as much signal as possible. All data and images were acquired via Telescope Network.
For decades, astronomers have looked to the life cycles of stars to understand the origins of black holes, but a massive new 50-page review published this week suggests we should be looking at the primordial fabric of the cosmos instead.
Today at approximately 5:41 UTC, the Near-Earth Object 2026 TL6 zipped past our planet at a distance of merely 250,747 kilometers, hence well inside the orbit of the Moon! In fact, during its chaotic plunge through our local gravitational neighborhood, this cosmic interloper also buzzed the lunar surface before continuing its high-speed trajectory past Earth.
Astronomers have discovered a massive, unseen object lurking in the orbit of a distant, pulsating star. By “listening” to the rhythmic vibrations of the star TIC 160582982, researchers detected the gravitational tug of a mysterious companion that is heavy enough to be a neutron star or even a stellar-mass black hole, yet emits no conspicuous light of its own.
The discovery, detailed in a recent paper by a team of astronomers including Chenglong Lv, Javier Pascual-Granado, and Ali Esamdin, highlights the power of a technique called asteroseismology, therefore the study of “starquakes” and stellar vibrations.

Voyager 1 is nearly 1 light day from the Earth, but the final, silent wait has begun for its siblings. They are no longer probes; they are mankind’s longest-enduring monuments. Here are our messengers to the outer Solar System and far beyond.
M16, the Eagle Nebula: this image represents 7 hours of integration time using Ha, OIII, SII, and RGB filters with a Takahashi FSQ-106ED (106/530 f/5) telescope and an FLI Proline PL16803 CCD camera. It consists of 24 exposures: 4x1800s for Ha, OIII, and SII each, and 4x300s for R, G, and B each. I processed the data using PixInsight and Photoshop, aiming to extract as much signal as possible.
