Have YOU thought about astronomy today?
@dag-astro.bsky.social
Or, more precisely, have I thought about astronomy today? Because, yes, sometimes, I forget to look up..
I will try to update this account daily; started on 25/06/2025.

The point of this account is to try to think about astronomy on a daily basis, because life gets in the way of astronomy as a hobby 😔. On this account I only follow accounts related to it, so at least when I log in here I will see news, knowledge, pictures related to it ❣️🔭🌌.

A 16h sur @franceculture.fr Sciences Chrono parle de l'histoire des images astronomiques. Comment l'astronomie s'est-elle construite autour d'un imaginaire visuel qui n'a cessé de marquer les mentalités au point de devenir l'une des sciences les plus populaires ?

Astronomie : la preuve en images
De la première image d’un trou noir aux dessins de la Lune par Galilée, l’histoire des représentations astronomiques est un perpétuel aller-retour entre innovations technologiques et vues d’artistes. ...

Hi all! My name is Tobias Géron, I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Toronto. I've been using Galaxy Zoo for a few years now to study bars in galaxies. Bars seem to be very common structures in the present-day Universe, with roughly half of all disc galaxies having a bar. Bars are also thought to influence their host galaxies in all kinds of fun ways (e.g.

I also have to share this post today, coz I watched the "Scope" show yesterday (well, I mostly LISTENED to it coz I was too tired to watch it).
The post is a thread of the pictures taken at the Haute-Provence Observatory during the show 🤩: Albireo binary star, the Ring Nebula, etc 🔽
🔭 Hier soir, on s'est lancé un défi assez fou: faire des images du ciel, en direct, dans l’émission Scope. Et c’était... incroyable @artefr.bsky.social

Yes, I thought about astronomy. Actually, I just wanted to say that I live in a big city (near Paris 🙄) so light pollution is strong there and we can spot only a few stars (sometimes planet) each night.

The Alpha Centauri stars (Alpha Centauri is a star system of 3 stars) are the closest stars to our Sun, at 4.36 light-years, that is 41 million million kilometres.

Yes ☺️
I found the website of Luis Calcada (a data & science visualisation artist) after looking for info about the Alpha Centuri star system. He and Nick Risinger made the artist's impression below of an exoplanet (not confirmed as an exoplanet) orbiting the Alpha Centauri B star.

Yes, because I wondered how to get an 8-year old (my niece) interested in stargazing and how to guide her during the stargazing session when she will be with me for her holidays. Her brother is 13 so it will be easier. I found this: www.natureludique.com/2024/08/06/o...
