Faltan pocos días para el último eclipse del año.
Este jueves seremos testigos de un eclipse lunar parcial muy profundo que será visible en todo el continente americano, África y Europa.
Los horarios están en tiempo universal.

My favorite capture of the night: The moment the moon's shadow split the sunset in half, leaving a diamond ring in the sky and a breathtaking view. I call it "Shadows on the Balearic Sea".
I'll have prints available for this one linked in my bio for a few days only.
Primer video real que muestra el impacto de la etapa superior del Falcon 9 contra la Luna. – at Benito Juárez, Distrito Federal
Our team at @iaa_csic has captured the impact on the Moon of the upper stage of a Falcon 9 rocket. We attach a preliminary video showing the evolution of the ejected material. The black area corresponds to the lunar disk @SpaceX @JuanLuisRizos @elonmusk @tiempobrasero @A3Noticias @EFEciencia @europapress

Ejemplo a escala del cráter Barringer en Arizona, EUA.
🏙️ En el centro, la figura blanca representa la Torre Latino a escala.
🪨 La pequeña piedra junto a ella corresponde al tamaño real del impactador que originó el cráter.
Gracias a @alanmir por el gran trabajo.
Vengan a ver fosiles y meteoritos.
Pueden pasar a nuestro pequeño stand donde podrán observar en microscopio 🔬una serie de meteoritos y fósiles.

This is not an eclipse, but an even more rare sight: a crescent Mars as seen by NASA’s #MissionToPsyche spacecraft.
The unprocessed image — taken by Psyche today — shows the night side of Mars as the spacecraft approaches the Red Planet for a flyby on May 15. The glowing crescent is sunlight reflected from the day side of the planet's surface, as well as sunlight passing through its atmosphere. The irregularities in the crescent are likely caused by surface features, and dust and clouds in the atmosphere. 1/2

NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured this view of Thebe, the second largest of Jupiter’s inner moons, during a close pass on May 1, 2026.
Thebe is believed to play a role in the formation of the planet’s “gossamer” ring through the shedding of dust. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4uIqWpG

Only one chance in this lifetime…
Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Amerizaje exitoso
Artemis II is home
NASA's Orion spacecraft carrying Artemis II crew members Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen splashes down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego, California, at 5:07 p.m. PDT, (8:07 p.m. EDT) on Friday, April 10th, 2026.
NASA’s Landing and Recovery team and the U.S. military are coordinating efforts to extract the Artemis II crew from the Orion spacecraft.

#ArtemisII 🔥
Die @NASA hat heute eine der bisher beeindruckendsten Aufnahmen des #SLS-Starts veröffentlicht.
Werfen wir einen genaueren Blick auf die SRB-Trennung👀❗️
