the-science-llama: Dance of The Planets Jupiter, Mercury and Venus will seemingly dance between each other from May 24 and 31. The closest configuration of the planets, being on May 26 and having a linear alignment on the 30th and 31st. Mercury is haulin’ gluteus because it’s orbit is shorter. The best time to view them will be about 40 minutes after sunset. The images here were taken at the same time each day, as you see the sun sets a little bit later each time. See analemma.This gif was made from screenshots using the Planetarium app // Neave Magnitudes Mercury: dims from -0.9 to -0.3Venus: -3.7 (brightest)Jupiter: -1.7 (via TumbleOn)

ikenbot: Titan as Seen Through 3 Different Filters On May 15, 2013, Cassini’s camera system, the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS), looked for clouds across Titan’s sub-Saturn hemisphere from 2.49 million kilometers (1.55 million miles) away. The ISS took a number of images of Titan in different filters. Three of which were used for this composite image. This RGB false color composite of Titan is in 3 different filters: continuum filter (where methane is more transparent), methane band (where methane is strongly absorbing), and ultraviolet.

distant-traveller: Station and Shuttle transit the Sun That’s no sunspot. On the upper right of the above image of the Sun, the dark patches are actually the International Space Station (ISS) and the Space Shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-132. In the past, many skygazers have spotted the space station and space shuttles as bright stars gliding through twilight skies, still glinting in the sunlight while orbiting about 350 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. But here, astrophotographer Thierry Lagault accurately computed the occurrence of a rarer opportunity to record the spacefaring combination moving quickly in silhouette across the solar disk. He snapped the above picture on last Sunday on May 16, about 50 minutes before the shuttle docked with the space station. Image credit: Thierry Legault
