The International Space Station returns to UK skies tonight with several bright passes at 22:38, 00:14 and 01:51 BST. Look towards the South for a bright star-like object moving Eastwards. Clear skies! #ISS #spacestation Tim Peake Brian Cox

This is a rather cool image. A star blowing up in a relatively nearby galaxy. Even so news does not travel quickly over such vast distances. This happened over 20 million years ago, but only now can we see it! Go Stargazing

This year is the 10th anniversary of England's first dark sky park - creatives alert.

If you are a novice here's a ready made stargazing event for you.

Should look amazing from Northumberland. Don't forget shooting stars visible for quite a few days either side of the peak. One of our favourite showers.

Stunning image taken from Falstone, Northumberland.

Encouraging for a good show this weekend. Dark areas best. @NorthPennAONB N'land National Park

Louie Stowell My book "Felicette: The Space Cat" is now available in paperback! So that was great! Also, I'm back up at kielder campsite for Kielder Starcamp with my new telescope and clear, dark skies forecast the next 3 nights!

Probably my best Milky Way picture from Kielder Starcamp at kielder campsite taken on Monday night, before the foul weather set in...

Lovely composition.

Ok, so my image of the Crab Nebula isn't as detailed as the glorious JWST pic released today, but to be fair I was working with slightly smaller kit... (Crop from processed stack of 3x30s tracked exposures, Canon 700D DSLR/300mm lens, taken at Kielder Starcamp

Really lovely. Art and nature combine.

The silent menace. Wonder why it's taken so long for intense unshielded LED lights to be put in the dock.
