We are part of a local group of three spiral galaxies consisting of our Milky Way, Andromeda, and the smaller Triangulum (seen here). In this image, you can see bright sports in the spiral arms where new baby stars are being born!

It took 2.73 million years for this light to reach my yard in BC :)

The unbelievably beautiful Horsehead and Flame nebuae. Please click and Zoom in... take a look around at how awesome this star nursery is!

The Horsehead is a huge tower of space dust among a deep red streak of hydrogen, the Flame is a grand cluster of star formation. Incredible!

Now THIS is cool!

While imaging the Horsehead Nebula I captured this AMAZING gravitationally bound system of stars.

The largest one (middle) is Sigma Orionis. It looks to be a double star because the one just below is double the distance of Pluto with our sun, they orbit one another every 170 yrs!

As we paid respects and bid farewell to Bob Weir yesterday, I'm thinking to the traditional "lowering down" funeral song that ended many Grateful Dead shows, particularly in the late 1960s. As sad as it is so see him go, there is much joy & celebration in the music!

We Bid You Goodnight, Bobby!

The Andromeda Galaxy - for Bobby Weir, may you sleep in the stars...

This incredible galaxy consists of 1 trillion stars, you can see the dust lanes on the edges, the red spots are areas of star formation.

It took 2.5 million years for this light to reach my yard in Victoria, BC.

I left #levidrome puzzlers puzzling too long last week with the solution so, since there were no guesses, here's the answer to this past Friday's riddle.

In memoir format –– On each of my sons' Date Of Birth (DOB), I marvelled that each babe had such a beautiful BOD.
