😮On August 12, a rare astronomical show awaits us — three bright celestial events will coincide on the same day: a solar eclipse, a planetary parade, and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.
Astronomers call this coincidence extremely rare:
• Before dawn, you can observe a parade of six planets: Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
• In the evening, there will be a solar eclipse: in some regions, i…

Scientists from the United States obtained the most detailed images of the Sun’s surface — and for the first time, they spotted moving feather‑like patterns in them. Initially, the images were taken to adjust the Inouye telescope at the observatory in Hawaii. However, after studying the images, astronomers realized that they had managed to capture the Sun with record‑level detail. The researchers stated that these st…

We’re not so round after all: please welcome the Earth’s geoid — a theoretical surface.
It shows the level of the world’s oceans beneath the continents, which is affected only by the force of gravity — without taking into account tides, currents, and atmospheric pressure.
The model was created by NASA based on 15 years of observations from 19 satellites.

The analemma is the annual apparent motion of the Sun across the celestial sphere. Its shape and tilt are determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis, its orientation, and the ellipticity of the Earth's orbit. The highest and lowest points correspond to the summer and winter solstices.

The galaxy IC 1101 is 60 times larger than the Milky Way and 2,000 times more massive.
If it were located where our galaxy is, it would have swallowed the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, the Andromeda Nebula, and the Triangulum Galaxy.

Showing the 12 most recent of 22 posts we hold for @space_en. 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.
