WOW! These are some of the best pics of the #conjunction of 2020 I’ve seen yet 🤩 Posted @withregram • @gm_astrophotography The Great Conjunction 🔭 . . . In two days, Jupiter and saturn will be the closest they have ever been to each other relative to earth in 800 years! This is an incredible event. I encourage everyone to try and catch a glimpse of it. Look to the southwest around twilight, you should see two bright objects relatively low on the horizon. The brighter one on the lower right is Jupiter! 🔭 . . . This composite image I made shows the viewer what they could see during the daytime with a medium size telescope. They are now close enough to fit inside the field of view of a single eyepiece! . . . . Enjoy! I have more conjunction content on the way🔭 . . . . #planet #planetary #space #astronomy #cosmos #art #day #blue #atmosphere #moon #hue #astro #astronomyphotography #astronomylover #astronomyphotos #spacex #space #elon #elonmusk #spaceimages #apod #spaceship #rings #bigredspot #saturn #jupiter #earth #trend #trending #conjunction https://www.instagram.com/p/CJHTHmghS3F/?igshid=1lcejtit4lx24
Beyond The Lens: 10 Of The Best Science Images Ever Captured
1. The Pale Blue Dot (1990)
Our tiny home in the vastness. Taken by the Voyager 1 probe from 6 billion kilometres away, this image shows Earth as a mere speck of light. It's a humbling reminder of our place in the cosmos, famously described by Carl Sagan as "a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."
2. Pillars of Creation (1995)
Stars being born in cosmic clouds. Captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, these towering cosmic structures of gas and dust within the Eagle Nebula are stellar nurseries, actively forming new stars. A breath-taking testament to cosmic creation.
3. Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2004)
A window into the early universe. This image reveals thousands of galaxies, some of which formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. It's like looking back in time to the universe's infancy.
4. First Image of a Black Hole (2019)
Seeing the unseen. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration delivered the first direct visual evidence of a supermassive black hole and its shadow, located in the galaxy Messier 87. A monumental achievement in astrophysics.
5. Earthrise (1968)
Our planet from a new perspective. Taken by astronaut William Anders during the Apollo 8 mission, this iconic photo shows Earth rising above the lunar horizon. It profoundly influenced the environmental movement.
6. Rosalind Franklin's Photo 51 (1952)
The unseen helix revealed. This X-ray diffraction image of DNA was crucial evidence, confirming its double-helical structure. A cornerstone of modern biology.
7. First Image from the Surface of Mars (1976)
A postcard from another world. Viking 1 gave humanity its first glimpse of the Martian surface – a desolate, rocky landscape under a salmon-pink sky. It forever changed how we envisioned our planetary neighbour.
8. James Webb Space Telescope's First Deep Field (2022)
A new window to the dawn the universe. JWST's stunning inaugural image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 revealed thousands of galaxies in incredible detail, including the faintest objects ever observed in infrared, pushing the boundaries of what we can see.
9. Apollo 17's The Blue Marble (1972)
The most famous photo of Earth ever taken. This full-disk photograph of Earth was taken by the crew of Apollo 17. It's one of the most widely distributed images in history, showcasing the vibrant blue of our oceans and the swirling white of our clouds.
10. The Helix Nebula (AKA "The Eye of God") (2003)
The cosmic eye looking back. This stunning planetary nebula, formed by a dying star shedding its outer layers, is a celestial masterpiece located in the constellation Aquarius. Its intricate, vibrant colours and distinctive shape have earned it the popular nickname "The Eye of God," making it a favourite subject for both amateur and professional astronomers, and an enduring symbol of cosmic beauty.

You are the center of somebody’s universe. 🌌 . Like the Small Magellanic Cloud, seen here, you glow with a universe of color and you help others find their way, without even knowing it. . Named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, this small galaxy orbits the Milky Way from 200,000 light-years away. It’s close enough that it’s visible to the unaided eye from the Southern Hemisphere. In this composite image taken by three space telescopes, X-rays from @nasachandraxray are shown in purple; visible light from @nasahubble is colored red, green and blue; and infrared observations from our Spitzer Space Telescope are represented in red. The Small Magellanic Cloud may be little, but it dazzles. You dazzle. Keep on dazzling. Because you're the center of our universe. . .
