See that small, bright pixel? That’s an entire moon you’re looking at! Peeking between the rings of Saturn is the tiny saucer-shaped moon Atlas, as viewed from the Cassini spacecraft.

A stream of plasma bursts out from the sun on May 27. Since it lacked enough force to break away, most of it fell back into the sun. This eruption was minor and such events occur almost every day on the sun and suggests the kind of dynamic activity being driven by powerful magnetic forces near the sun's surface, according to NASA. Image released on June 16.

An object that streaked across Australian skies on Thursday night was most likely part of a Russian weather satellite.

I didn't see it, did you Reggie?

On wed night hubby and I saw a really bright satellite moving quite fast over head. We see a few every night, but this one was bigger and brighter than usual.

At least we think it was a satellite ....... :Thinking:

Every morning when I leave for work, it is still dark ( 5.45 am ). As I walk out to the car I always look up .... yesterday I saw a faint, white dot - just like a small star - that blinked, and then nothing. I thought I was just imagining it, so I kept looking at the same area for a few seconds, and saw it again, but it had moved along the sky a bit. I stayed looking up, and it did it again, also moving along the sky .... I couldn't keep watching as I was already running late.

That night I told hubby, and he said that it could be that drone plane that is orbiting the earth, but I can't find out if it has a single light that blinks..... anyone know?

thanks :)
