Has this never been shown before? Here is (an animation of) the ejecta plume over asteroid #Ryugu after the impactor released by #Hayabusa2 had hit:

Please don't share this (real) image with its nonsensical original caption: the meteor occurs hundreds of kilometers behind the volcano (it's a phenomenon in the upper Earth atmosphere - in rare cases when something reaches the ground it's already falling ballistically and dark).

Here's the video from @NSFspox of the Arecibo Observatory collapsing. Engineers were surveying damage and got "lucky" the drone was in this position. No one was hurt.

Stars over Münsterschwarzach Abbey tonight - taken from a guesthouse window with a Chinese €120 cellphone in 'Pro' mode: 30 seconds at ISO 3200 and f/1.79, white balance Sun, focus not quite infinity (the stars are closer here, apparently :-). Count me impressed ...

There is a *new* @SpaceX webcast now at that tracks the #FalconHeavy second stage - and sometimes (as here minutes ago) shows the Starman ... with the Earth behind him!

Breaking News, literally! There is a star explosion under way in Perseus (near Capella in Auriga actually), with 6th magnitude - and it could be a unique nova eruption happening to a known dwarf nova, V392 Persei: in I show a chart and provide some links.

Neuer Stern mit 6. Größe im Perseus - ein Nova-Ausbruch der Zwergnova V392 Per? - Abenteuer...

Im Sternbild Perseus spielt sich möglicherweise gerade ein außergewöhnliches astrophysikalisches Ereignis ab – und jeder kann zuschauen, denn das dort soeben aufgetauchte Himmelsobjekt hat 6. Größe...

As JAXA reports today in #SLIM can indeed claim full 'extra success' (beyond the full success already established by 25 January): after awakening the lander managed to take another mosaic and numerous images of individual rocks with the Multi-Band camera.

Proof that @NASAJuno has crossed the bow shock of Jupiter's magnetosphere and is now in the Jovian system - yeah!
