We captured the near-Earth asteroid 2020 GN2 a few hours before its close, but safe encounter with our planet, coming within 1.3 lunar distances. Here it is our spectacular image. The image above comes...
New images of comet C/2014 Y4 Atlas were obtained under good seeing conditions and they show a couple of main fragments and a likely a trailing cloud of debris. The image above comes from...
We have just released new image and video of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, looking forward to show it live next 28 Apr. The image above comes from a single 180-seconds exposure,...
After one rainy night, we are back on comet C/2014 Y4 Atlas, seeing how its evolved. Several fragments are still visible in the image below. The image above comes from the average of 46,...
Tomorrow, 15 Apr. 2020, the near-Earth asteroid 2020 GH2 will have a very close, but safe encounter with our planet, coming as close as about 360.000 km, closer than our Moon. Our robotic system...
Thanks to good weather, we imaged C/2014 Y4 Atlas again and could clearly detect again several fragments, with evident changes in the brightness distribution. Here it is our image. The image above comes from...
Here it is a new image of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2, slowly brightening and safely approaching us. On 28 Apr., we will show it live, online. The image above comes from...
A few hours ago, the near-Earth asteroid 2020 GF2 had a very close, but safe encounter with our planet, coming as close as about 900.000 km, 2.4 times the distance of our Moon. Our...
After our observations suggesting the presence of fragments in the inner coma of this comet, we imaged C/2014 Y4 Atlas every night. In particular, tonight we observed at least three fragments, telling the comet...
We managed to track the exciting BepiColombi flyby, yesterday at dawn. Incredibly, we grabbed the spacecraft while it was imaging planet Earth and our telescope location, exactly at the same time. Here it is...
This morning, we succeeded doing something unique: we could image the European Space Agency’s BepiColombo spacecraft having its flyby with the Earth, redirecting it towards the inner Solar System. At 22.300 km from us,...
As it safely approaches us, we share a new images of the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (52768) 1998 OR2 from last night, waiting to show it live at the end of the month. The image...
We have been hoping to see comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas putting on a nice show up there later this season. Likely, this will not be the case, unfortunately. It looks like the comet’s nucleus...
We managed to analyze our 7 Apr. 2020 images of comet C/2019 Y4 Atlas, to follow-up the possible disruption event of its nucleus. The images used in the panel above come from the median...
