Imaged remotely via the Skygems Observatory Network, using a 10 cm. FSQ106 telescope located in Namibia. 4x120sec. frames for both L and B filters, and one 120 sec. frame for both G and R filters (a total of 20 mins) was used to create the final image.

AURORA AND ZODIACAL LIGHT Taken by Malcolm Park on May 11, 2024 @ San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
In the last place on earth where you would expect to find such a thing, the sky was aglow all night following the impact of the CME on May 10th. This was the sight at about 6am as the zodiacal light was awash in a pink/red hue. Mercury, Mars and Saturn are embedded in the zodiacal light. One of the best nights of my life even better with this sight!

INTERNATIONAL PLANETARIUMS DAY
Join us in celebrating today's #InternationalPlanetariumsDay and meet Franco!🎉
Before starting his job at ZEISS, Franco worked as an optician.👓
He found out about the technique of threading stars during an orientation day at the world’s tiniest planetarium at the ZEISS Museum of Optics in Oberkochen, Germany. This immediately sparked his fascination. 💫
“ Today I thread and color the stars for the Asterion Projector. Orion presents the most work because it has many colors that are very close together. While I am working, I often stop to hold my breath and admire their beauty,” he says. ✨
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PLANETARIUMS!
99 years ago today, the world's first planetarium opened in Munich. The projection of stars, sun, moon and planets thrilled all visitors who experienced the planetarium for the first time. The new ZEISS projection planetarium is rightly called “the wonder of Jena”.
Elis Strömgen, the director of the Copenhagen Observatory, described it aptly (and still applies) after a visit to Zeiss in Jena in 1925: “Never has such an instructive means of demonstration been created, never one that has been more enchanting, never one that appeals to everyone to the same extent as this one. It is school, theater, film at the same time, an auditorium under the firmament of the sky, a stage on which the celestial bodies are the actors.”
Today's modern planetariums have become even more important due to their versatility. They now serve not only as a learning tool for astronomy enthusiasts, but also as a cultural meeting place with a wide variety of events.
