Powerful winds detected in Jupiter’s stratosphere with ALMA

You can find the press release from ESO (European Southern Observatory) about our most recent results on Jupiter’s stratosphere, where we have detected directly and for the first time strong equatorial and auroral jets:

Back to I93 and detection of a potentially hazardeous asteroid (July 2020)

My last observations at the I93 observatory of my friend Florent Losse dated back to 2017… On July 19th, and despite skies that were not so clear, we detected 3 asteroids. One of them is a PHA (Potentially Hazardeous Asteroid). Here are the animations showing the asteroids:

2020OF1
2020OH1
2020OM1, that’s the PHA

And here are the links to the Minor Planet Center circulars:
