Yet another processing of the same data from last Christmas, with a dedicated lucky-imaging software this time (Autostakkert, on Linux with Wine). Yeah it gets more details than my naive try :)

Look, it's not much, but I'm quite happy with the level of detail I was able to pull out from this mush of pixels 😅
From data collected last Christmas.

"Aethelmaer of Malmesbury’s comet" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but: credit where credit's due, eh?

Peek inside ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), under construction in #Chile 's Atacama Desert. The main structure shown here will host the ELT’s five mirrors, which will gather the light and send it to the instruments at the sides of the telescope.
With its 39-metre-diameter, the main mirror will be the largest ever for an optical telescope: the biggest eye on the sky!

🌙 Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a 4% Chance of Hitting the Moon. Here’s Why That’s a Scientific Goldmine.
｢ On December 22nd, 2032, Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 4% chance of actually striking the Moon. If it does, it will release enough energy to be the equivalent of smacking our nearest neighbor with a medium-sized thermonuclear weapon. It would be 6 orders of magnitude more powerful than the last major impact on the Moon, which happened back in 2013 and was caused by a much smaller meteoroid ｣
This shot was taken on November 28, 2022 by Artemis 1, at its farthest distance from earth (430,000 km) and 77,000 km from the moon.
It was a rare opportunity to see both celestial bodies aligned in this same field of view.
