The Dark Energy Camera on the Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile trained its lenses on the Horologium constellation some 60 million light-years from Earth. There, it captured an image of galaxies NGC 1512 and NGC 1510, which are ensnared in each other's gravitational pull.
The fast-spinning pulsar hungrily feeding on a close companion star 3,000 light-years away is a rare type of cannibalistic system known as a black-widow binary.
The sun's gravitational field could be used as a giant magnifying glass to observe distant exoplanets in a much greater detail than is currently possible, a new study suggests.
In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know in order to take stunning lunar eclipse images. We'll explain what sort of equipment you'll need to pack, which settings to use and how to focus your camera.
