The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 is safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, six times the average lunar distance. We imaged it two days earlier, waiting for its flyby. The picture...
Last night, we captured a sequence showing the potentially hazardous asteroid 2022 RM4 in motion, while safely approaching us. The timelapse above comes from 30, 30-second exposure, remotely taken with the “Elena” (PlaneWave 17″...
We captured the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 while safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, next week. The image above comes from the average of three, 180-second exposure, remotely taken with the...
The Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 is safely coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, six times the average lunar distance. We imaged it along the way. The picture above comes from the...
Three weeks after the Nasa’s DART mission slammed into Didymos‘ moonlet Dimorphos, we imaged this binary asteroid, capturing the thin dusty tail it developed as a consequence of the impact. The image above comes...
We keep an eye on comet C/2022 E3 ZTF while it slowly approaches the Sun: here it is our latest view. The image above comes from the average of 10, 180-second exposures, unfiltered, remotely collected...
We observed the supernova SN 2022vqz in the galaxy CGCG 501-026, as part of our supernova follow-up program: here it is our image. The image above comes from the average of 15, 180-second exposures, unfiltered,...
On 16 Oct. 2022, one year after launch, the Nasa’s Lucy probe had a spectacular flyby with the Earth. We imaged it 12 hours later and showed it in real-time to the world. The image...
On 1 Nov. 2022, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 will have a close, but safe encounter with our Earth, coming as close as 2.3 millions of km, six times the average lunar distance....

Next 16 oct. 2022 the Lucy spacecraft, on its way to Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids, will have a close fly-by with the Earth. The Virtual Telescope Project will bring it to you live, online! The...
Next 8 Nov, the Moon will offer us a superb total eclipse. We will bring the show to you live, thanks to an international team. *** Join it LIVE here! *** Next 8 Nov. 2022,...
Last night, the Moon and planet Jupiter had a nice conjunction. Despite an almost cloudy sky, we could capture them from Rome and here we share our image. I used a Canon 5D mark...
Next 1 Nov. 2022, the Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2022 RM4 will have a close, but safe encounter with us, coming at about 2.3 millions of km from the Earth, six times the average lunar distance....
The sky always amazes us much more than our expectations. This also happened earlier this month, when we spotted the International Space Station moving into the Earth shadow while planet Jupiter was showing a...
