hey try to locate that fake Tesla in space

Hey try to locate your dad, whore's son.

Thanks Astro!

Already did. It's not fake.

Show us the aliens!

Great!

We see stars and more stars, meanwhile Neil and Billy Bob see blackness!

Excellent proof of what we should actually see in space without beer googles!

always with the ad hominem attacks from agents of evil

Astro what are your thoughts now about planet 9. Aka planet x

Will we be able to see Nibiru and the other cluster of planets that will pass near us in May? :))

Verify Planet X please, thank you, our future Planet X observer...

Jk

The planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. Stay tuned!

Backyard astronomers with large telescopes can see the new planet. But don't expect to be impressed: It looks like a dim speck of light, visual magnitude 19, moving very slowly against the starry background. "It is currently almost directly overhead in the early-morning eastern sky in the constellation Cetus," notes Brown.

The planet was discovered by, in addition to Brown, Chad Trujillo, of the Gemini Observatory in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz, of Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut. They first photographed the new planet with the 48-inch Samuel Oschin Telescope on October 31, 2003. The object was so far away, however, that its motion was not detected until they reanalyzed the data in January of this year. In the last seven months, the scientists have been studying the planet to better estimate its size and its motions.

How about the Orion Nebula?

I know you did a Nebula last time, was it the Orion?

The camera is far more sensitive than the human eye. I can't see stars when I'm not dark adapted, for instance when bright light from other objects is shining in my face.

Will tune in if I’m still awake.

It was Orion. I might do running man if the moon isn't too bright, but I got Orion without moonlight last time so I can't top that tonight.

Well I have not had time to catch up to the latest literature, but I've heard that a new paper is out where the clustering observed in the orbital elements of extreme trans neptunian objects is explained by observation bias. If that's true there isn't good evidence for planet 9 and I'm disappointed by that.

Yes, honestly that image is one of my favorite all time space pics. Just awesome and ty.

Running Man Nebula sounds cool too. I'm sure whatever you pick will look dope tho.

The parallax of uranus is imminent !

Gay shill giving fake astrophysicist shill green.

Who’d a thunk?

If you could locate Nibiru, that would be great

Appreciate the break Astro

I suggest Sirius and Sirius b; or Castor and Pollux, theGemini twins.

The Hyadies nebula if visible from your locale.

I enjoy it all. Thanks, dude.

That is a beautiful shot!

Have you found uranus?

I suggest Ursa Major to view
