Ok, let's get started 😊🛰️

Most of You already know me, so there's no need to introductions.

I'll start with a megathread of my favourite satellite pics processed by me in 2024.

Various dates, most of them were taken by Sentinel-2.

On 18 November 2017 an astronaut aboard space station #ISS took this image of aurora borealis from over southwestern Canada. The brightest city in the image is Edmonton, Alberta. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social #25YearsOnISS
The image shows a nighttime view of earth with many city and road lights in the lower part of the image. At top green veils of aurora stretch towards the curved horizon of earth. On this day, 18 November 2017, only nighttime timelapses were shot from the space station. Auroras are a favourite subject for astronauts to take timelapses of. The videos made from these timelapses are always wonderful to see. At the average height of around 420 kilometres above earth ISS when reaching its highest inclination of 51.7 degrees at times passes almost over the green auroras since these are formed at lower altitudes. Sometimes when looking at the videos it looks like the station is even flying through them.

Mars - Valles Marineris - Orbit 25 - Hope Mission - From Andrea Luck (andrealuck.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2mzdn25
Hope/Emirates Mars Mission/EXI/AndreaLuck This is Valles Marineris, a Canion that if placed on Earth would extend all the way across the United States (4000km) and it reaches depths of up to 7 km (almost Mont Everest's height, 8.8 km). Valles Marineris is likely to be giant tectonic crack in the crust of #Mars but million years ago, some of its channels may have been shaped by water.

On 17 November 2016 an astronaut aboard space station #ISS took this image of a feathery field of altocumulus clouds over Atchafalaya Bay, Louisiana. Image enhanced. Original eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... @daveatcogs.bsky.social #25YearsOnISS
The image shows a feathery field of altocumulus clouds in the centre left part of the image. The field is casting a shadow on its lower part. At the edges of the image hazy parts of land around the bay are visible. I like these kinds of images very much, because is shows the keen eye of an astronaut spotting such a small wonder of nature.

Image captured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter showing Jupiter and two of its moons. Jupiter appears slightly wider than tall, with orange and white atmospheric bands and a large oval orange storm below the center. Two small bright spheres to the right are its satellites.

Starless Eagle Nebula and The Pillars of Creation - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/2nxreCe
www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebula... This image shows the famous Pillars of Creation region of the bright Eagle Nebula (Messier 16) in Serpens. Constructed from monochrome exposures in two very narrow wavelength bands of ionised Hydrogen and Oxygen, the data has been combined into a colour image to reveal this highly detailed and very dramatic scene. The bright colours are due to emission from the ionised gases, energised by light from nearby stars. The stars were removed during image processing to fully reveal the intricate structure of the nebula. Orange-red nebulosity corresponds to H-Alpha emission, and the blue areas are OIII. The core area of the nebula was made famous in 1995 as the "Pillars of Creation" by images from the Hubble Space Telescope. The pillars are giant columns of gas and dust, approximately 9 light-years long, that are slowly being eroded away by intense radiation pressure from nearby young stars. The nebula lies 6000 light-years distant in the Sagittarius arm of our Milky Way galaxy. Image details: Date: Sep-Nov 2021, June 2022 Exposure: Ha OIII: 450:690 mins, total 19 hours @ -25C Telescope: Homebuilt 12.5" f/4 Serrurier Truss Newtonian Camera: QSI 683wsg with Lodestar guider Filters: Astrodon 3nm Ha/OIII Taken from my observatory in Auckland, New Zealand
