Two great images from space this week -

Amazing image of the aurora at Jupiter's south pole, taken by NASA's Juno spacecraft from just 2,600 miles above.

And secondly, the search for the lost comet lander, Philae, is finally over

And last but by no means least, Asteroid 17473 (1991 FM3) is now, officially, [size=150Asteroid Freddiemercury[/size

Dunes on the surface of Titan:

I just wanted to share the best image I have seen of the Supermoon earlier in the week, by a guy who planned it so well, he got a composite image of the ISS passing across. Pure class

Looks like a poster for the forthcoming 'Rogue One' movie.

That's not a moon........

Superb views of Jupiter and its 4 moons tonight. Other than the moon it was the brightest object in the sky at 9.40 pm
