A couple of days ago, the 1964-054A = OGO-1 satellite reentered the Earth atmosphere, after 56 years (1964-2020) in space. We imaged it both on 28 and 29 Aug., the latter date a couple...
20 years after discovering it, I re-observed asteroid “(98722) Elenaumberto“, celebrating my parents for, among many other reasons, being my most precious supporters in my astronomical adventure since I was a child. The image...
Since its discovery, we regularly observed supernova SN 2020nlb in Messier 85, covering its evolution for exactly two months. Now that its observing season has ended, we are pleased to share our lightcurve. The...
We imaged the bright supernova SN 2020rcq and its host galaxy UGC 6930, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of seven,...
Last 20 Aug., the near-Earth asteroid 2020 PY2 safely reached a distance of 350000 km from us, closer than our Moon. We imaged it and here we share our picture. The image above comes...
We imaged supernova SN 2020qxp and its host galaxy NGC 5002, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The images above come each from the average of six, 120-seconds...
Later today, near-Earth asteroid 2020 PY2 will have a very close, but safe, approach with our planet, reaching a minimum distance from the Earth of about 350000 km, 0.91 times the average distance of...
Next 26 Sept. 2020, the International Observe the Moon Night will be back and, once again, the Virtual Telescope Project will offer you a unique opportunity to join the celebrations from the comfort of...
On 8 Aug. 2020, the Trans-Neptunian object (307261) 2002 MS4 occulted the star UCAC4 419-096262, offering to astronomers a unique opportunity to unveil its precious physical features. Our observing site was exceptionally close to...
Since its discovery, we regularly followed up supernova SN 2020nlb in Messier 85, covering its evolution in a truly spectacular way. here we present the current status of this transient. The image above comes...
While slowly leaving the inner Solar System, comet C/2020 F3 NEOWISE is surfing our skies making very interesting “encounters”: last night, we caught it with globular cluster Messier 53. The image above comes from...
