In this eerie deep-sky portrait by Fred Sensabaugh, familiar nebulae transform into a ghostly face drifting through the constellation Auriga. The Flaming Star Nebula glows on the left like a fiery eye, while the Tadpole Nebula forms on the right. Below, an open star cluster completes the apparition, shining like a spectral jawline. A beautifully creative capture that turns the night sky into a celestial phantom.

Moises Duran marked a fun achievement last week, earning recognition from Elpetas for his engagement with their lunar and planetary imaging posts. His latest Moon capture is especially striking. The lunar disc glows with a soft “corona” effect created by gentle Earthshine.

NASA astronaut Don Pettit shares a breathtaking cosmic trio captured from Earth orbit: the Milky Way stretching across the frame with the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds shining nearby. An extraordinary perspective only possible from space!
A Glimpse of Earth’s Electric Edge
NASA astronaut Jonny Kim shares a captivating view of the Southern Lights, capturing vibrant waves of aurora dancing along Earth’s limb. The footage reveals from orbit luminous ribbons of green and red light shimmering as solar particles interact with the planet’s atmosphere.
Autumn Colours in Space

Chandra Observatory highlights a festive cosmic scene with NGC 6334. In this beautiful image, glowing clouds of gas and dust swirl like wind-tossed autumn leaves. Their playful post hints at another seasonal truth: these tangled structures might just remind you of the holiday lights waiting to be unravelled back on Earth.
Thank you to all the photographers who shared their amazing images for our collection of the best space shots of the week! We greatly appreciate your dedication and passion for astrophotography and wish you clear skies for your future captures!
