Most people think of Antarctica as a place of silence. But, the land, sea and sky are full of "sound". ππ°οΈ
We create music and art inspired by and including these rich "sounds", originating from the Southern Ocean to high above the Earth's atmosphere.

I didn't stay up all night watching meteors on 8/11-12, but my modified Sony Alpha 7 III did. It caught the final one when rosy-fingered dawn came bright and early. #astrophotography

This is about 15 hours of data, taken with a ZWO 294MM and 80ED doublet. Processed in Siril, Gimp, Graxpert. Forgive me my purple stars. #astrophotography@kat-astro-bot.bsky.social

My first sighting of noctilucent clouds from #Potsdam this year.
Noctilucent clouds form at altitudes of about 80 km and consist of ice crystals. During the weeks around the summer solstice, they can be spotted from locations north of about 48 degrees latitude.
17th June: The 11% lit crescent #Moon is very close to bright planet #Venus this evening. Look to the west-northwest around 23:00 BST (22:00 UT). The pair will be a stunning sight in binoculars or in a wide-angle telescope view. Jupiter and Mercury are also nearby. #Astronomy
#Venus , #Jupiter , and #Mercury all lined up in the west.
