Pluto, space, & beyond.

Got some more comet pictures from the Rosetta probe. Most of them are true color HD images this time, & there's LOTS of them. The newest images start near the bottom of page 13 of the thread, & continue onto page 17. Enjoy astro fans!

Put some more new pictures of Ceres up. No more pix of the strange white spots anymore. Typical of NASA - They skip over the coolest, most important stuff, or just never release it to the public.

They released some more new Pluto images. Some of them are the same ones we saw before, but these are higher resolution versions with much better detail, & there's a few more true color pictures.

Many of them at the NASA site don't look much better than my previously posted pix because I enhanced their lower resolution ones using my own homemade software & techniques. Using those same techniques on these higher resolution images gives us an opportunity to zoom in even closer.

The newest images start on page 8 of the thread, & continue onto page 13, including Pluto's moons. So don't forget to click on the next pages to see all of them. For those who missed it, check out the previous pages of the thread too.

Enjoy Astro fans!

There's a lunar eclipse tonight visible in Western Europe & the American continents. Also the moon will be a supermoon tonight. That's where the moon is extra large & extra bright because it's orbit brings it a little closer to Earth.

Looking forward to the Blood Moon Eclipse tonight. I quite often look to the night sky when out of the city so I can view the wonders of the heavens. I have often done this since I was about 10 or 11 and was pretty sure I saw a UFO back in the 60's.

They've release some higher resolution full color images of Pluto's moon, Charon last week. I enhanced them to show more detail.

Enjoy astro fans!

WOW that is an amazing image, thanks for the post Betty.

I never did get to see the Blood moon or the Eclipse as it was very cloudy that night almost until it was over. I saw just a small shadow at about 2:30 AM and then it was gone. Pretty sure I won't be around for the next one.

[Betty]

Yeah I saw some clouds so didn't bother either. None of my windows face that way so if there was a brief break in the clouds I wouldn't see it from my place unless I went outside to the other side of the building.

Although I'm certain they've taken tons of pictures or Ceres over the past month, they only released just 1,  & it looks like just a slightly higher resolution of a previous one, so I enhanced & posted it.

Scroll down to the last 2 images in the thread.

I also just put up the newest comet images from Rosetta - - enhanced of course. Not nearly as fun as the previous true color pix though. The newest images start the bottom of the thread (page 17), & continue on page 18.
