A stunning collection of images from the recent Planet Parade 2025.
An enthusiast has shared his observations and personified them in an easy to understand infographic - each image is labelled with the location, date and positions of the planets in the sky.
🪐 NASA has shared a selection of the highest quality photos of the planets in the solar system.

This photo shows a solar eclipse on Mars ☀️
This image was taken by the Perseverance rover as one of Mars' satellites, Phobos, was passing across the Sun's disc.
Because of its small size, the shadow cast on the planet is of negligible size.
The coloured dots in the background are not stars, but artefacts of the footage.
🌙 An astrophotographer managed to capture the Moon, Jupiter and its largest and brightest satellites all in one photo.

Smile back 😃
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured the galaxy cluster SDSS J1038+4849 in the constellation of the Big Dipper.
The image shows a curving line that looks like a smile. It is formed by arcs of light resulting from an effect known as gravitational lensing.
The image also shows two orange "eyes", which are actually very bright galaxies, and a white "nose".
Asteroid 2024 YR4, with a diameter of 70 metres, may collide with Earth on 22 December 2032.
The probability of impact is 6%, with destruction within a radius of 30 kilometres. The remaining 94% assumes a flyby at a distance of 60,000 kilometres.
Observations in 2028/2029 will help to refine the trajectory
"Milkdromeda" - this is the name, in all likelihood, will be given to the galaxy formed after the merger of our Milky Way galaxy with the closest to us Andromeda galaxy in 4.5 billion years.
Scientists demonstrated the visual process of the collision of the two galaxies using computer graphics.
New images from Mars: the Martian rover Perseverance has shared photos from the surface of the red planet 🟠
The image was captured by the lander's onboard camera on 7 January.
🌌 The 2025 Planet Parade is in full swing, with almost all of the planets in the solar system lined up and visible to the naked eye.
The observations were shared by a Washington DC resident.
😱 To your attention: one of the HUGE stars in the entire Universe - UY Shields.
This star is so big that it can hold up to 5 billion suns like ours.
The weather probe managed to capture breathtaking footage of an aircraft flying underneath it at 800km/h ✈️

💫 On 21 January there will be a large-scale ‘parade of planets’ when six planets (Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, Neptune and Saturn) will be visible in the sky.
Astrologers recommend to look for planets from 21 to 25 January in the dark time of day. Four of them (except for Uranus and Neptune) can be observed without a telescope.
On 28 February Mercury will join the parade, and all seven planets (except Earth) will be visible in the sky.

How has the view of black holes changed over time?
In 1978 the first sketches appeared, well 40 years later, in 2019, astronomers saw a black hole for the first time in the EHT telescope 🔭
👽 The Internet is actively discussing a strange square structure on the surface of Mars, about 2 kilometres long - conspiracy theorists have already built many theories.
This is not a photoshop, but a real photo obtained from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC). You can verify the authenticity through Arizona State University's Mars Image Explorer.
👨🚀 Astronauts' weekdays on the ISS usually go like this:
- 06:00 - Rise and morning procedures (hygiene, breakfast, health check).
- 07:00 - Morning meeting with Mission Control Centre (discussion of tasks for the day).
- 07:30 - Start of the working day.
- 07:30 - 12:30 - Performance of scientific experiments, maintenance of station systems.
- 12:30 - 13:30 - Lunch break.
- 13:30 - 17:30 - Continued work: experiments, data collection, equipment installation.
- 17:30 - 18:30 - Physical training (on treadmill, exercise bike or weight machines).
- 18:30 - 19:00 - Dinner.
- 19:00 - 21:00 - Personal time (connecting with families, recreation, hobbies).
- 21:00 - 22:00 - Summing up the results of the day, meeting with the Mission Control Centre.
- 22:00 - Preparing for sleep.
- 22:30 - Sleep.
The ISS uses Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the standard. This choice allows synchronising the crew's work with ground-based Mission Control Centres located in different countries (e.g. Houston, Moscow).

🌌 A dizzying journey into the Sagittarius A* black hole, created with the help of NASA's supercomputer.
As it approaches, gravitational forces warp space-time, stretching objects into noodle-like shapes (spaghettification phenomenon).
The other day Blue Origin, headed by billionaire Jeff Bezos, launched a super-heavy rocket New Glenn into outer space.
The launch went normally, but the rocket's first stage failed to return.
Despite this, Blue Origin counted the launch as a success, and Ilon congratulated fellow Jeff for successfully launching the craft into orbit the very first time.
The first private orbital station has been assembled in the USA. Vast Space has unveiled the 10-metre Haven-1 module, which will be able to host 4 tourists for a month

🗣 🚀 SpaceX has announced the loss of a Starship prototype during a test flight.
The company said on social media X that the Starship suffered a rapid abnormal breakup while gaining altitude.
Musk said the cause of the prototype's crash during the seventh test was a fuel leak.
A huge coronal hole has been discovered on the Sun - NASA.
This is the most enormous phenomenon in recent years: it covered a quarter of the Sun's circumference. The phenomenon triggered superfast solar winds, which are already heading towards Earth.
What's in store for us:
-Powerful magnetic storms;
- Disruptions in GPS, satellite TV and radio communications;
- Increased symptoms in weather-dependent people (headaches, weakness).
NASA astronaut Andrew J. Fustel is getting used to gravity on Earth after a 197-day absence from the planet
