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.

Yesterday the sky was bluuuue, but today it's too cloudy to go to the event "Paris sous les étoiles" (organised almost every weekend during July and August) 🤧: www.afastronomie.fr/paris

I would like to talk about the Parisian "Ursa Major" chocolate factory but it would take me too much time to write about it :(
(Yes, Ursa Major like the Great Bear constellation)

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 went to the event below 👍☺️
And watch the Moon through a telescope (and also spotted Mars close to the Moon, Vega, Arcturus, and Spica)

My banner is the centre of this image, which is a map of the closest stars to our Sun.
