The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orions Belt in the constellation of Orion. - It is one of the brightest nebula and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across and has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. - The Orion Nebula is among the most intensely studied celestial features as the nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust.

🎵 cause in a sky full of stars I think I saw you... 🎵 Many colorful stars are packed close together in this image of the globular cluster NGC 1805, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This tight grouping of thousands of stars is located near the edge of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way. The stars orbit closely to one another, like bees swarming around a hive. In the dense center of one of these clusters, stars are 100 to 1,000 times closer together than the nearest stars are to our Sun, making planetary systems around them unlikely. The striking difference in star colors is illustrated beautifully in this image, which combines different types of light: blue stars, shining brightest in near-ultraviolet light, and red stars, illuminated in red and near-infrared. Space telescopes like Hubble can observe in the ultraviolet because they are positioned above Earth’s atmosphere, which absorbs most ultraviolet light, making it inaccessible to ground-based facilities. This young globular cluster can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere, in the Dorado constellation, which is Portuguese for dolphinfish. Usually, globular clusters contain stars that are born at the same time. NGC 1805, however, is unusual as it appears to host two different populations of stars with ages millions of years apart. Observing such clusters of stars can help astronomers understand how stars evolve, and what factors determine whether they end their lives as white dwarfs or explode as supernovae.

Chapter 16 : M27, 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗗𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗡𝗘𝗕𝗨𝗟𝗔 ! Discovered in 1764 by Charles Messier, the Dumbbell Nebula is a planetary nebula which located in the constellation Vulpecula. It was also the first ever planetary nebula to be observed in the history of astronomy. The particular shape which is compared to to that of a dumbbell has earned this nebula the name that we know nowaday. At its brightness of visual magnitude 7.5, which makes it easily be seen in binoculars, even smaller telescopes can observe some of its details. Thats why M27 is a popular object among amateur astronomers. The nebula, at the end of its life, has shed its outer layers in a glowing display of color. The hot central star, consists of gas that has been ejected. They are heated by the intense ultraviolet radiation from this star and emit strongly at specific wavelengths. Consequently, these wavelengths then correspond to different atoms existing within the nebula, thus to the different colors that we can see.

NGC 6960: The Witch’s Broom Nebula Ten thousand years ago, before the dawn of recorded human history, a new light would have suddenly have appeared in the night sky and faded after a few weeks. Today we know this light was from a supernova, or exploding star, and record the expanding debris cloud as the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant. This sharp telescopic view is centered on a western segment of the Veil Nebula cataloged as NGC 6960 but less formally known as the Witchs Broom Nebula. Blasted out in the cataclysmic explosion, the interstellar shock wave plows through space sweeping up and exciting interstellar material. Imaged with narrow band filters, the glowing filaments are like long ripples in a sheet seen almost edge on, remarkably well separated into atomic hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green) gas. The complete supernova remnant lies about 1400 light-years away towards the constellation Cygnus. This Witchs Broom actually spans about 35 light-years. The bright star in the frame is 52 Cygni, visible with the unaided eye from a dark location but unrelated to the ancient supernova remnant. © NASA (APOD) Follow @nightsky & @spaces for more ✨ - @spaces on Instagram

The star of this Picture of the Week is Antu (the first of the Unit Telescopes of our VLT — UT1). Antu is pictured here sitting atop Cerro Paranal in Chile. Many night-sky objects are visible here. Starting from the left we see the pink California Nebula, the Pleiades star cluster, the fiery river of the Milky Way, the constellation of Orion and its famous Belt, the looping Gum Nebula, the Carina Nebula and the Southern Cross. The most curious features are the green bands or stripes to the right of Antu’s enclosure. They are atmospheric gravity waves, generated by storms forming ripples in the greenish layer of Earth’s airglow in the upper atmosphere. For more information check the link in bio. Image credit: P.

This shows my progress taking space photos of the Elephants Trunk Nebula starting with the first one 4 years ago when I couldnt even find it, to my latest picture that earned me a NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD). Picture 1 was captured in September of 2016. I spent 30 minutes pointing my telescope at this spot and when I combined my exposures to make the final image, nothing was there. Picture 2 was captured in November of 2016. This is when I started using narrowband filters to fight against light pollution, but I wasnt yet interested in color images. Picture 3 was captured in 2017 and my first attempt at capturing the Elephants Trunk Nebula in color. Picture 4 was captured in 2018 and I thought it was my best attempt up to that point. Picture 5 was captured in 2019. I went big on this one with 22 hours of exposure time. It earned me a NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day. #elephanttrunk #astronomy #astrophotography #cosmos #dark #deepsky #longexposure #milkyway #nasa #natgeo #naturephotography #nebula #nightphotography #nightshooters #nightsky #outerspace #physics #planet #science #space #stars #stargazing #telescope #universe #universetoday - @chucksastrophotography on Instagram

Qui Courage Spending a cold night wading through damp grass isn’t everybody’s idea of fun. Thats exactly what the intrepid participants from the current Nightscapes and Startrails course did on Friday September 11th. I drove out there in the late afternoon to scout the area in daylight. The group came out to meet me at 9pm at an old disused rail bridge over the Boorowa River for an evening shooting Milky Way Nightscapes. The northwest location was chosen to give the group some extra time under clear skies from cloud predicted to be moving in from the south during the night. I had scouted two locations beforehand, the old rail bridge over the river that aligned with the setting Milky Way and a canola field south of the road for some circumpolar (circular) star trails somewhat later, after midnight. Some chose to stay in the pub in Boorowa for the night while others headed back to Canberra arriving at 3:00am. Thanks to all participants for your courage, patience and great company.

Even the shortest lived stars will exist for many tens of millions of years, while the longest lived stars may exists for trillions. Given the vast amount of time needed for stellar life cycles to unfold, how do astronomers know so much about the stars and what point they’ve reached in their evolution? Thankfully there are a lot of stars, which has allowed astronomers to study identical stars at various points in their lifecycle. Here’s an example to give you an idea of how this works. Imagine for a moment you’re an alien who has been tasked with studying the lifecycle of the human species. The only catch is that you have 24 hours to complete your research. Obviously a single day isn’t enough time to observe the entire life of someone from young to old. In order to determine what the human lifecycle is like in such a short period of time, you must study multiple humans across all age groups to truly get some understanding. After studying multiple age groups, you begin to form a fairly accurate picture of how humans live and die. After only 24 hours, you return to your home world with your data. Likewise, studying the stars is similar. We do not have enough time in our lives to study the life of any individual star from start to finish. Instead astronomers must rely on studying multiple stars from various points in their lifecycle.

Whats in the sky this Wednesday? Deneb is a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan. Deneb is one of the vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle and the head of the Northern Cross. It is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an average apparent magnitude of +1.25. A blue-white supergiant, Deneb rivals Rigel as the most luminous first magnitude star. However its distance, and hence luminosity, is poorly known; its luminosity is somewhere between 55,000 and 196,000 times that of the Sun. Its Bayer designation is α Cygni which is Latinised to Alpha Cygni, abbreviated to Alpha Cyg or α Cyg. Deneb rises at approximately 1:00 PM and sets at approximately 9:00 am the following day. It has an apparent size of 0.0025 arcsecs, and a visual magnitude of +1.25. All screenshots are from Sky Safari, and all text is sourced from Wikipedia.

Amazing shot by Kurious George of NGC 7497 with a CDK24 and L-600 mount. More from Kurious here, 60 million light years distant, appears behind this interstellar dust less than a thousand light years distant. This dust is very dimly lit by the combined starlight of our own Milky Way galaxy. This dim starlight reflection was captured at 4,200 with 11.25 hours of luminance and 6 hours of color (RGB) using a 24 PlaneWave CDK24. During the 3 days it took to gather the light shown here, the skies were exceptionally dark (21.4 SQM average) and clear. #planewaveinstruments #ig_nightphotography #astrophotography #universetoday #nightscape #starrynight #milkywaygalaxy #stargazing #pixinsight #longexposure_shots #astrophoto #nightimages #milkywaychasers #nightshooters #natgeospace #ig_astrophotography #science #telescope #messier #nightphotography #astronomy #deepsky #weownthenight #space #amazing_longexpo #longexposure_shots #longexpoelite #longexposure #night_excl #yourshotphotographer - @planewaveinstruments on Instagram

6 Minutes over Joshua Tree National Park, July 2019 This is the first August in 8 years that I didn’t make it out at least one evening for night photography. Between Covid and the excessive heat I decided to play it safe. So I grabbed a frame from one of last summer’s vertical panos to see what I could do with it as a stand alone image. I was surprised to see my exposure was 6 minutes using the Skywatcher Star Adventurer. The extra detail and lower noise is a joy to work with. The diffraction spikes coming from Jupiter are an optical byproduct of the lens I used and not a post processing trick. One interesting aspect to this particular evening was the 7.1 earth quake that shook the region. Amazingly we didn’t feel a thing! (Check out my 10/24/19 post from last year for more info regarding this night) Hopefully the southwestern U.S. will cool down a bit and I can make back out once or twice more before this Milky Way year comes to a close. #astrophotography #natgeospace #nightscaper #milkywaychasers #universetoday #joshuatreenationalpark #jtnpa #longexpo_addiction #ig_astrophotography #igworldclub_sky #nationalparkpartnership #californiacaptures #caligrammers #devine_deserts #desertsky #nikond810 #earthofficial #nikonnofilter #longexpo_addiction #pixinsight #skywatcherstaradventurer #igworldclub_astrophotography #timelessuniverse #lumecubeair #visit29palms #pixinsight - @skylightphotography_ on Instagram

Tarantula Nebula (30 Doradus) 🕷️ Located approximately 160,000 light-years away, 30 Doradus, or more commonly known as the Tarantula Nebula, is a region of interstellar atomic ionized hydrogen (HII region) in the Large Magellanic Cloud 🌀, an orbiting satellite galaxy of the Milky Way 🌌. At the centre of the Tarantula Nebula is the star cluster NGC 2070, which includes the star concentration R136 🌟. R136, an approximate 450,000 solar mass cluster, produces most of the energy that makes the nebula visible.

Messier 20 Trifid Nebula Visit here to see full size image and plate solve: https://www.astrobin.com/full/esyhqs/0/?real=&mod= Captured on Friday, July 10th at Cloudland Canyon State Park with the Barnard Astronomical Society. Half the image was acquired before the 50% Moon come up, the other have acquired with the moon rising before calibration frames and a break for comet Neowise. A short video of the acquisition can be seen here: https://youtu.be/GxkL32vo7lY About: From wiki -The Trifid Nebula (catalogued as Messier 20 or M20 and as NGC 6514) is an H II region located in Sagittarius. It was discovered by Charles Messier on June 5, 1764. Its name means divided into three lobes. The object is an unusual combination of an open cluster of stars; an emission nebula (the lower, red portion), a reflection nebula (the upper, blue portion) and a dark nebula (the apparent gaps within the emission nebula that cause the trifurcated appearance; these are also designated Barnard 85). Viewed through a small telescope, the Trifid Nebula is a bright and peculiar object, and is thus a perennial favorite of amateur astronomers.

As an Astrophotographer I seek to render the universe in ways that offer interesting perspectives of space and time. Those most luminous orbs over our heads are more famous than any deep space objects and yet are typically not the subject of Astro photography in and of themselves. Here then is Betelgeuse likely the star most at the forefront today due to it’s recent fainting episodes. Perhaps this is a new view and I hope a new perspective on the sky above. #astronomy #astrophotography #universetoday #deepsky #deepspace #outerspace #astrophoto #nightsky #nightscaper #starphotography #longexpo_addiction #natgeospace #starrynight #longexposure #astro_photography #milkyway #nebula #stars #amazing #longexposureshots #photooftheday #nightphotography #moodygrams #splendid_shotz #spacetravel - @adamblock64 on Instagram

- M101 The Pinwheel Galaxy 21 million light years away
Moon over Andromeda Composite Image Credit & Copyright: Adam Block and Tim Puckett Explanation: The Great Spiral Galaxy in Andromeda (also known as M31), a mere 2.5 million light-years distant, is the closest large spiral to our own Milky Way. Andromeda is visible to the unaided eye as a small, faint, fuzzy patch, but because its surface brightness is so low, casual skygazers cant appreciate the galaxys impressive extent in planet Earths sky. This entertaining composite image compares the angular size of the nearby galaxy to a brighter, more familiar celestial sight. In it, a deep exposure of Andromeda, tracing beautiful blue star clusters in spiral arms far beyond the bright yellow core, is combined with a typical view of a nearly full Moon. Shown at the same angular scale, the Moon covers about 1/2 degree on the sky, while the galaxy is clearly several times that size. The deep Andromeda exposure also includes two bright satellite galaxies, M32 and M110 (below and right). #nasa #apod #space #science #astronomy #galaxy #moon #andromeda - @astronomypicturesdaily on Instagram

Pickerings triangle returns! A throwback Thursday reprocess from data taken a couple years back I like to call this the Pizza Nebula as it looks like a slice of pizza with stretchy cheese. Named for the Harvard professor Edward Charles Pickering. Very interesting fellow to read on by the way. He had a team of only women help map all the stars and determine their measurements, temperatures and distances from each other and the earth. Amongst the women, 2 of them made huge differences in the way we understand the cosmos along with their team. These 2 women were Annie Jump Canon and Cecilia Payne. Cecilia Payne, known amongst scientists gave rise to modern day astrophysics and her studies are the standard text into it. She came from the UK to the USA during a time when women werent allowed to take advanced studies of the cosmos in her home country. For more information on these great women and Mr. Pickering you can find it online. As for the nebula.... This is but a small portion of the ever expanding veil nebula (aka the cygnus loop) found in the cygnus constellation. The veil is a supernova remnant that exploded 3000 BC to 6000 BC. It now appears as clouds of ionized gas and dust. The distance to the nebula isnt 100% accurately known but the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Exporer supports a distance of 1470 light years away. This was captured with a GSO Rc6, Zwo asi1600mm, 8 position electronic filter wheel, off axis guider with a zwo 290mm mini, astrophysics ccdt67 and a Stellardrive heq5 mount.

Rho Ophiuchi widefield by Mario Cogo (Galax Lux) From NASA/APOD: The colorful clouds surrounding the star system Rho Ophiuchi compose one of the closest star forming regions. Rho Ophiuchi itself is a binary star system visible in the blue reflection nebula just to the left of the image center. The star system, located only 400 light years away, is distinguished by its multi-colored surroundings, which include a red emission nebula and numerous light and dark brown dust lanes. Near the lower left of the Rho Ophiuchi molecular cloud system is the yellow star Antares, while a distant but coincidently-superposed globular cluster of stars, M4, is visible just to the right of Antares. Near the image top lies IC 4592, the Blue Horsehead nebula. The blue glow that surrounds the Blue Horseheads eye -- and other stars around the image -- is a reflection nebula composed of fine dust. On the featured image right is a geometrically angled reflection nebula cataloged as Sharpless 1. Here, the bright star near the dust vortex creates the light of surrounding reflection nebula. Although most of these features are visible through a small telescope pointed toward the constellations of Ophiuchus, Scorpius, and Sagittarius, the only way to see the intricate details of the dust swirls, as featured above, is to use a long exposure camera. http://galaxlux.com/ • Tag #TheNakedSingularity for a feature ✌🏻 Clear Skies 🌌 #astrophotography #astronomy #deepsky #photography #telescope #nightsky #astrophysics #rhoophiuchi #stars #widefield #starscape #instalike #instagood #igers #cosmos #stargazing #lookup - @thenakedsingularity on Instagram

A Galactic Gem FORS2, an instrument mounted on ESO’s Very Large Telescope captured the spiral galaxy NGC 3981 in all its glory. The image, captured during the ESO Cosmic Gems Programme, showcases the beauty of the southern skies when conditions don’t allow scientific observations to be made. The sensitive gaze of FORS2 revealed NGC 3981’s spiral arms, strewn with vast streams of dust and star-forming regions, and a prominent disc of hot young stars. The galaxy is inclined towards Earth, allowing astronomers to peer right into the heart of this galaxy and observe its bright centre, a highly energetic region containing a supermassive black hole. Also shown is NGC 3981’s outlying spiral structure, some of which appears to have been stretched outwards from the galaxy, presumably due to the gravitational influence of a past galactic encounter.

NGC 3572 and the Southern Tadpoles This cosmic skyscape features glowing gas and dark dust clouds along side the young stars of NGC 3572. A beautiful emission nebula and star cluster in far southern skies, the region is often overlooked by astroimagers in favor of its brighter neighbor, the nearby Carina Nebula. Stars from NGC 3572 are toward the upper left in the telescopic frame that would measure about 100 light-years across at the clusters estimated distant of 9,000 light-years. The visible interstellar gas and dust is part of the star clusters natal molecular cloud. Dense streamers of material within the nebula, eroded by stellar winds and radiation, clearly trail away from the energetic young stars. They are likely sites of ongoing star formation with shapes reminiscent of the cosmic Tadpoles of IC 410 better known to northern skygazers. In the coming tens to hundreds of millions of years, gas and stars in the cluster will be dispersed though, by gravitational tides and by violent supernova explosions that end the short lives of the massive cluster stars.

Whats all of the commotion in the Tadpole Nebula? Star formation. Dusty emission in the Tadpole Nebula, IC 410, lies about 12,000 light-years away in the northern constellation of the Charioteer (Auriga). The cloud of glowing gas is over 100 light-years across, sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from embedded open star cluster NGC 1893. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, bright newly formed cluster stars are seen all around the star-forming nebula. Notable near the image center are two relatively dense streamers of material trailing away from the nebulas central regions. Potentially sites of ongoing star formation in IC 410, these cosmic tadpole shapes are about 10 light-years long. The featured image was taken in infrared light by NASAs Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite. Credit NASA - @astronomyuniverse on Instagram

- Spiral Galaxy NGC 7513
- A Supernova Remnant
- Nine years ago I captured Endeavour leaving the space station on its last flight. Today I captured Endeavour heading toward the space station on its first.
- For anyone observing now or in the next days, theres a Nova star happening now in Sagittarius - pretty bright, it can be seen with binoculars. Heres what it looked like from Las Campanas. Enjoy the sky!
- probably not an accurate comparison, as both images weren’t taken around the same time, but nice to see. Jupiter’s change in position in the sky nearly a year apart. [OC]

Galaxies come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Perhaps the most famous are the spiral galaxies. Our own Milky Way is a spiral galaxy, along with nearly all other galaxies within our galactic vicinity, including Andromeda. The structures of these galaxies are truly awe inspiring. The complex spiral is one of nature’s most beautiful creations. All you need is time and physics, along with a lot of stars. All of the material in a spiral galaxies orbits around the galactic centre. It was once assumed that the spiral shape was created because stars closer to the galactic centre orbit faster than those further out. This turned out not to be the case, although something similar was happening. Rather than differences in stellar velocity being the cause, it turns out that the spiral arms themselves rotate at varying speeds. When material is exchanged between spiral arms, such as fast moving material moving into a slow moving arm, it hits a kind of wall and begins slowing down. This can compress stellar material, leading to a wave of star formation. Stars are denser than gas clouds, and thus move slower than the surrounding material. Over time, stellar material moves ahead of the stars and compresses, forming more stars and continuing the process. These differences in velocity and exchanges of material create and maintain the spiral structures of these magnificent galaxies.
