👑 Tonight’s Sky Highlight: Jupiter Steals the Show! ✨

Tonight, January 10, 2026, Jupiter reaches a special moment called opposition, when Earth lines up between the Sun and the giant planet. This alignment makes Jupiter closer, brighter, and larger in appearance than at any other time of the year.

🔭 How to find it: As soon as the Sun goes down, face east. You’ll notice an incredibly bright, steady light that doesn’t flicker like a star — that’s Jupiter, shining in the region of the Gemini constellation.

⏰ Best viewing time: Jupiter will remain visible all night, climbing high in the sky around midnight and slowly sinking toward the west by sunrise.

🌕 What you can see: Even without equipment, Jupiter is impossible to miss. Using binoculars or a small telescope, you can also spot its famous four moons — Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto — lined up like tiny points of light.
This is one of the best nights of the year to enjoy the solar system’s largest planet. Don’t miss it!

Clear skies and happy stargazing! 🔭🌌

Heads Up, Stargazers! ☄️

Earth is about to pass through the rocky debris trail of Asteroid 3200 Phaethon, and that means the best fireballs of the year are here!

The Geminid Meteor Shower peaks on the night of December 13–14, with up to 120 meteors per hour streaking across the night.

Best Viewing Timings: Unlike most showers, you don't have to wait until midnight! Start watching as early as 9:00 PM or 10:00 PM local time. The skies will be darkest before the waning crescent Moon rises high around midnight, making that evening window prime viewing time.

So bundle up (it's cold!), find a dark sky, and catch the grand finale of the 2025 meteor calendar.

The Northern Taurid Meteor Shower peaks November 11–12, 2025!
These slow, bright meteors come from Comet Encke and often streak across the sky in golden and turquoise colors. Sometimes, you’ll even catch a fireball lighting up the night!
📍 Best time to watch: Around midnight, far from city lights�☄️ Speed: ~27 km/s (slow but extra bright!)�🌌 Look toward: The Ta**us constellation, near Orion and the Pleiades

✨ Look Up Tonight!
On the evening of November 6, 2025, the Moon will appear very close to the Pleiades (The Seven Sisters) — one of the most famous star clusters in the sky.

🌙 What’s Happening?
The Moon will pass near the Pleiades in the constellation Ta**us, creating a beautiful celestial pairing that you can enjoy with the naked eye — no telescope needed.

🔭 How to Watch:
• After sunset, look toward the eastern sky.
• Find the bright Moon, then look for a small group of blue, shimmering stars nearby.
• For the best view, choose a dark location away from city lights.
• Beaches, mountains, and open fields are perfect spots.

💫 About the Pleiades:
The Pleiades are a cluster of young stars often called The Seven Sisters in mythology, symbolizing family, unity, and ancient sky stories across many cultures.

📷 Photography Tip:
Because the Moon is bright, use short exposures.
A smartphone on a tripod works surprisingly well!

🌍 The sky always has something to say — all you have to do is look up.

🌕✨ Get ready for the year’s brightest moon!
On November 5, 2025, the Beaver Moon will light up the night sky and it’s not just any full moon, it’s a supermoon! 🌝💫
This means the Moon will be closer to Earth than usual, shining bigger and brighter than any other full moon this year.
🌌 Don’t miss it step outside, look up, and enjoy the glow of the Beaver Supermoon! 🌕🤍

Comet Lemmon in Cornwall last night ☄️ (14 Oct 2025)

Despite my Benro Polaris being dodgy (see the video in the comments), I managed to capture C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) over an old mine building last night. It's looking absolutely incredible, with a very long tail! It should be visible to the eye very soon 🤞 If you want to see it, head out just after sunset to somewhere with dark skies, and look low in the sky towards the NW, below the handle of the big dipper. It's also visible in the early hours of the morning in the NE.

This was first light on a new lens for me too, very impressed with the Samyang 135mm f2 so far!

135mm f2 60 seconds x 15 for the sky
135mm f2 3 minutes for the foreground
The alignment is real, see the video in the comments.

🌙 An extremely rare, once-in-a-lifetime celestial alignment — the crescent Moon, Venus, and Jupiter with four of its moons shining faintly beside it, all suspended above Stonehenge.

A perfect harmony between the ancient stones and the timeless dance of the cosmos. ✨
