Photographing the sun can be an amazing experience and this guide explains how to do it in safety with a camera or telescope.

Scientists have released the closest images ever to the sun, captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flying 3.8 million miles above the solar surface.

The telescope provides reasonably good images of the Sun, Moon, and bright deep-sky objects. It also provides a nice bonus with great views of distant landscapes and wildlife.

New photos of comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) suggest that it could be disintegrating due to "thermal stress" from its recent slingshot around the sun. However, its fate is still unclear.

Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) came within 8.3 million miles of the sun on January 13 as it reached its perihelion, and is now disintegrating.
