20 posts held, back to 15 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.
🔭 The Ghostly Cheerio Nebula (NGC 6337) by brunorota NGC 6337 is a planetary nebula in Scorpius, known for its remarkably circular, ring-like structure.Located approximately 5,500 light-years from Earth, it spans about 48 arcseconds, equivalent to roughly 1.3 light-years across. Its glowing shell was created from gas expelled by a dying star and illuminated by the hot binary system at its center.Faint hydrogen clouds…
🔭 Butterfly nebula - IC 1318 - SHO-rgb stars by [email protected] The IC 1318 emission nebula (the Butterfly Nebula or Sadr region) is located at an estimated distance of between 3,700 and 5,000 light-years from Earth, in the constellation Cygnus, far behind of the central star Sadr (γ Cygni) at approximately 1,500 to 1,800 light-years who isn't physically part of the nebular complex.It's truly astonishing what com…
🔭 Fireworks in the Milky Way! by @hyperspaced_imaging This is a region of Cygnus in proximity to LDN 998, that is full of HH objects, reflection nebulae, and an Orion variable star! I’ve only seen a few images displaying this region at a longer focal length and was drawn to the large number of interesting objects and dense starfield with Milky Way glow. This is an LRGB image; I collected Ha data too but there was ve…
🔭 Milky Way over La Palma by karelschel 🪨 This image shows the Milky Way rising above the island of La Palma, with a large protruding rock along a winding cliff path at an altitude of 2300m.🎞️ I had photographed this exact location a few nights before, but after being unsatisfied with the composition I decided to return and shoot a wider field of view, incorporating both a larger portion of the Milky Way Core region …
🔭 Falls Object 3 by Wolfgang-Promper I came across this object in Phoenix recently, it is a nebula discovered by Bray Falls that might be a planetary candidate. It is pretty faint, especially in Ha there is only a slightly structured shimmer. The nebula actually seems to be quite circular but the lower part is very faint. I decided to add luminance as the background is peppered with galaxies.Hope you find it interres…
🔭 Venom Nebula – A Dark Nebula in Chamaeleon by marzenarogo This image showcases a dark dust nebula informally known as "V Shadow" or the "Venom Nebula", located in the constellation Chamaeleon. Its distinctive V-shaped appearance is created by dense clouds of interstellar dust that effectively obscure the light of the background stars. The object is part of the Chamaeleon Molecular Cloud Complex, one of the nearest …
🔭 Alnilam and the Delectable Surrounding Nebulae by JamesPeirce Alnilam is the central star of Orion’s Belt in the constellation Orion, and the bright star dead center in this photograph. While photographing the Horsehead Nebula I noticed the abundance of dust and nebulosity that surrounded Alnilam, which left me quite eager to point my telescope directly at this star to see what appeared. And I ended up spending a c…
🔭 NGC 7023 - Iris Nebula by Robsi This time I was fortunate to image under beautifully dark, moonless skies. It made the entire session far more enjoyable, and processing became much easier. No gradients, no reflections, and an excellent signal—this is how I like it!😊NGC 7023, the well-known Iris Nebula in the constellation Cepheus, is a reflection nebula located about 1,300 light-years away. Its vivid blue glow is p…
🔭 M78 by Awaytothestars1 The depiction of the Kingdom of Light is indeed packed with intricate details and is incredibly beautiful.
🔭 Sh2-136 - The Ghost Nebula by Robsi Sh2-136, commonly known as the "Ghost Nebula," is a faint reflection nebula located in the constellation Cepheus, embedded within the dense molecular clouds of the Cepheus Flare complex. Starlight from nearby stars scatters off fine interstellar dust, giving rise to the wispy, ethereal shapes that lend the nebula its evocative name — ghostly forms that seem to emerge from the sur…
🔭 Blazing Meteor Streaks Across Mount Kawagarbo by sidian On the night of the full Moon (15th day of the 12th lunar month), December 2023, bright lunar illumination lit the landscape nearly as bright as daytime. The Meili Snow Mountains stood quiet beneath a deep indigo night sky. The camera operated unattended overnight at the viewing platform, yet the raw exposures remained unprocessed on a hard drive for a full ye…
🔭 2026/07/10 - Saturn in Ultraviolet, Visible and Infrared by YYoships Saturn in a composition combining ultraviolet, visible and infrared - NUV/B(Blue)-G/R(Green)-IR850/CH4(Red). NUV and Blue contributes nicely to realving the atmospheric haze, while Green and Red gives the texture and contrast of the cloud bands. IR850 and CH4 signal is mostly the rings, as well as the central equatorial band. Still is my current f…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @AstrobinImageOfTheDay. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 1,296,480 of 1,623,166entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
@AstrobinImageOfTheDay named 1 handle that resolve to nothing today. That is a fact about the reference, not necessarily a fact about the handle’s history — see the two groups below.
Most of these may never have existed as a live channel at all.A handle a channel names can be a typo, an aspirational name nobody registered, or a channel that was already gone before this one ever mentioned it. Unless a row below is marked evidenced, all we know is that it references a handle that is not a live channel today — not that anything “died”. How this is measured.
References a handle that is not a live channel — we have no record it ever was one.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 28 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
