‼️ We tracked near-Earth asteroid #2024bj and shared it live with the world. This is an image we captured, but you MUST see the movie available at the link below, showing clear evidence that little rock is spinning fast! 🔭📺⬇️ virtualtelescope.eu/2024/01/28/nea…

On 2 Feb. 2024, the potentially hazardous asteroid 2008 OS7 will have a close and obviously safe encounter with the Earth. It will come as close as 2.8 million of km, about 7.4 times the average distance of the Moon. We observed it on its way  to us

On 12 Feb. 2024, the near-Earth asteroid 2024 CY1 will have a very close, but safe, encounter with us, coming at about 121000 km from the Earth, about 31% of the average lunar distance. The Virtual Telescope Project will show it to you live! More here: virtualtelescope.eu

We made a record setting observation at the edge of the Universe. Imaged the most distant quasar observable at visible wavelengths. Never before a telescope of 350mm in diameter looked so far back in space and time. Full story 👇👇👇 virtualtelescope.eu/2024/04/15/the…

T Coronae Borealis (T CrB, aka the Blaze Star) was in close conjunction with asteroid (2) Pallas last night. We captured it, also making a nice time-lapse. Details at the link: virtualtelescope.eu/2024/06/25/t-c…
