This is Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) passing by the sun while she fires off one CME after the other.
Mercury also makes an appearance on the left.

These images were taken by the LASCO C3 coronagraph on board the
ESA / NASA / SOHO spacecraft.

[EDIT: I added new images from this morning]

There will be a large thunderstorm complex in Germany tonight (pink color on the map) with really good chances for #RedSprites!

If you're in Eastern Germany, the Czech Republic or Poland with low cloud coverage, point your cameras towards the storm between 23:00 MESZ and 3:00 MESZ for a chance to capture these rare events!
It would be incredible if we can capture the same one from multiple angles!

I was speechless when I saw this appear on my camera's LCD screen last night - this is only the second time I photographed #RedSprites.

Almost certainly not the best #Aurora shot I got tonight but the first one that made it into Lightroom!

This is from southern Bavaria, the Aurora are just crazy right now.

The Perseverance rover captured this scenic panorama a week ago on the afternoon of Sol 999 with the left Navigation camera.
In front of the rover lies Neretva Vallis and the Jezero Crater Rim where the mission is heading to in the future.

Exactly 1000 Martian days ago the #Perseverance rover landed safely on the red planet.

This video shows the marvelous views captured by the engineering cameras during this nail-biting event.

I finally managed to process my own image of the #SN2023ixf supernova in #M101.
Crazy to think this event actually happend some 21 million years ago, but we can still observe it changing brightness in mere days.
