There's a good chance of seeing noctilucent clouds tonight into tomorrow morning.
A timelapse of the noctilucent cloud forms from last night's display. The serene wave-like movement of these clouds is simply beautiful. #NoctilucentClouds #NLC #Astronomy
There was a nice display of noctilucent clouds last night. Here's the view from the North York Moors, overlooking Teesside at 23:11 UT. #NoctilucentClouds #Noctilucent #NLCs
Thirteen plaques will be unveiled across the UK to celebrate Beagle 2, the first British and European spacecraft to successfully land on another planet. #Astronomy #Spaceflight www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Finally dug out my NCP image from c1993. Clear shift in position of NCP between mine and yours. About 28 arcmin?
Rotated mine and rescaled to match yours, with my stars roughly at starting position of yours.
Also: SCP from 1987, with LMC (and a special guest...) near top.
Another evening and another set of photographs of Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury in the evening sky.
•Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury. 35mm lens.
•Jupiter, Callisto, Ganymede, and Venus. 500mm lens.

9th June: Bright planets #Venus and #Jupiter are in conjunction this evening. Look low to the west-northwest from around 22:30 BST (21:30 UT). The pair are less than 2° apart and so should be viewable using a low power telescope or binoculars. An excellent photo opportunity. #Astronomy

Caught my first sighting of #NoctilucentClouds last night - quite faint and didn't last long but nice to see the season underway from North Yorkshire. #NLCs
