The website for the school it was presented at has recordings of all the lectures - looks like a great resource for anyone wanting an introduction to modern stellar physics #astroedu #stellarastro 🔭 🧪

This is my cat, Alfvie. In my last thread, I mentioned that he’s very cute – this is still true. But how are Alfvie’s stripes like the magnetic fields in a plasma? A thread on Alfvén’s theorem [15 posts]: #astronomy #astroedu #cats
My cat Alfvie, a gray and brown tabby, stretched out on the couch with his stripes exposed.

Beautiful new #HubbleTelescope image of the "death-shroud nebula" with catalog designation #NGC2899. The central star is giving off its outer layers in dying. What does the cavity in the gas look like to you? #astronomy #astroedu #space #spacephotos #astroimaging #astronomyphotos #sciencephotos
Planetary nebula NGC 2899 glows from the energy of the hot white dwarf star in the center.  The cavity in the expelled gas resembles the shape of a moth.  The shape may be the result of the fact that the dying star that gave rise to the nebula orbits around a companion star in the center.  The whole nebula is more than 2 lightyears across.

Our very own galaxy — here are some amazing photos of the Milky Way taken in El Solitario, Spain back in 2017! IAYC is a perfect place to learn how to observe 🌌 All images were taken by leader Javier Barrios Martí during camp 🔭 #astrophotography #astroedu #astrophotos #galactic #spacephotography

Tonight and tomorrow night are peak times to see the #Lyrids #meteorshower -- a time when more shooting stars are visible if you go to a dark, open site and are patient. The chart shows you the main showers of 2025 and rates them. #astronomy #astroedu #sky #amateurastronomy #darksky #space #meteors
Listing of the meteor showers of 2025. ZHR tell you how many meteors you might see under IDEAL conditions.  The star ratings are based on whether moonlight is likely to interfere with your viewing faint meteors.

Beautiful composite image by #RobertGendler of galaxy M83, 12 million lightyears away. The red regions are nebulae, where gas clouds are glowing with the energy of recently-formed baby stars within them. #astronomy #astroedu #space #spacehotos #astroimages #spacephotography #astrophotos #galaxies
The spiral galaxy M83 highlighting red regions of glowing gas and dust, where new stars and planets are forming. It's been called the galaxy of a thousand rubies.  Image composed by Robert Gendler from Hubble and other telescope data.

Beautiful new infrared image of "star-death" nebula NGC1514 with the #JamesWebb telescope. The dying star in the center is actually a pair of stars that orbit each other in 9 years; the #nebula is hourglass shaped. #astronomy #astroedu #NASA #JWST #space #spacephotography #astroimages #spaceimages

128 new moons have recently been identified around Saturn, bringing its total number of moons to a record-breaking 274. Some of the new moons orbit Saturn backward, indicating they're captured and not original. #astronomy #astroedu #planetaryscience #NASA #space #Saturn #spacephotos #spacenews
Saturn casts a shadow on its magnificent ring system in this image taken from NASA's Cassini orbiter in 2016.

The observing-focused working group isn’t the only place where you can learn how to use a telescope — the camp’s unique atmosphere fosters collaboration and connection during the entire 3-week experience. Fellow participants and leaders are more than happy to help you! :) 🔭🎢 #EduSky #astroedu
