My garden capture tonight, a stunning cluster of more than 100,000 whirling stars. This stellar snow globe is 25,000 light-years away. Tightly packed in there are some of the oldest stars in our Galaxy, with ages of 12 billion years. #WondersOfTheNightSky #HerculesCluster #stars

From my garden in London tonight I snapped this view of the remains of a massive star that exploded in 1054 AD! It’s the Crab supernova remnant. The leftovers seen include oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, silicon and other elements that make up our bodies. We are stardust! #supernova

Just snapped the last super moon of 2025; The Moon appears bigger in the sky tonight as it’s about 27,000 km closer to us right now than its average distance. #supermoon #WondersOfTheMoon

I just snapped this image of the Sun this afternoon…there are an incredible 10 sunspot groups across its disk! The one near centre is twice as wide as Earth. (As always, safety filter used to protect the eyes.) #sun #sunspots #stars #astronomy #space #solarcycle
