Stargazing Are There Internet Based Telescopes Available for Public Use?

AI Thread Summary
Internet-based telescopes are available for public use, allowing observation of celestial objects even when they are below the horizon or during poor weather conditions. Slooh.com offers paid access to live telescope feeds, while nightskylive.net provides free images of the night sky globally. Users can also submit proposals to observe through the Hubble Telescope, with submission details available on the Space Telescope Science Institute website. The discussion highlights the increasing accessibility of astronomical observation via online platforms. Overall, these resources expand opportunities for amateur astronomers to engage with the night sky.

I would like to know if there are some internet based telescopes for the public which can be useful to watch objects that are below the horizon or when the weather is bad.

I know you can do this on slooh.com but you have to pay some money to use it. If you're just interested in the night sky in general, however, you can go to nightskylive.net for images of the night sky around the world.

You can observe objects thru this site, but you must send a proposal first

Thread 'Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1% risk of a multi-megaton impact in 2032 (now ruled out)'

Asteroid, Data - 1.2% risk of an impact on December 22, 2032. The estimated diameter is 55 m and an impact would likely release an energy of 8 megatons of TNT equivalent, although these numbers have a large uncertainty - it could also be 1 or 100 megatons. Currently the object has level 3 on the Torino scale, the second-highest ever (after Apophis) and only the third object to exceed level 1. Most likely it will miss, and if it hits then most likely it'll hit an ocean and be harmless, but...
