EE Cephei is a long period eclipsing variable star (5,6 years). It’s a “disk-occulting system” with irregular eclipses caused by a star and a disc of gas & dust too. Here is the current V filter light curve obtained by R.Casas (red dots) & myself (blue dots, Anysllum observatory)

How will our upcoming Pioneer satellite Pandora help us learn about the atmospheres of worlds outside our solar system? By observing planets and stars simultaneously! It'll study stars' spotty surfaces to separate the signal of a planet from its host star: go.nasa.gov/4bhjyv2

How Many Kilonovae Will Rubin Observatory Help Us Spot? The upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time will detect an astonishing number of transients — including kilonovae from colliding neutron stars. aasnova.org/2026/02/04/how…

Did you know the lithium in your cell phone battery might have been created in a type of stellar explosion called a nova? A study suggests that the lithium found in our solar system and Milky Way comes from these cosmic events. go.nasa.gov/3OnRqNx #BatteryDay

🧵1/5 On 29 June 2025, the ASAS-SN detected a supernova in NGC 1637 at ≈ 39–40 Mly. One team searched old archive images & found the star that exploded: the first published detection of a supernova progenitor candidate by #JWST. Full paper here➡️iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

Astronomers have discovered 11 more moons around Saturn, bringing its total to 285--by far the most of any planet in the solar system. The true number may be unknowable, if you count every ring particle as its own little moon. minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K26/K26F1…
