Previously unseen details of a mysterious, complex structure within the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) are revealed by this image of the 'Keyhole Nebula, ' obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. The picture is a montage assembled from four different April 1999 telescope pointings with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which used six different colour filters. The picture is dominated by a large, approximately circular feature, which is part of the Keyhole Nebula, named in the 19th century by Sir John Herschel. This region, about 8000 light-years from Earth, is located adjacent to the famous explosive variable star Eta Carinae, which lies just outside the field of view toward the upper right. The Carina Nebula also contains several other stars that are among the hottest and most massive known, each about 10 times as hot, and 100 times as massive, as our Sun.

Picture of the Monkey Head Nebula I was able to take with my Seestar, after finally getting a break from the cloud cover. STILL trying to get my rig going, but the Seestar will have to hold me over till then

Wakawakawakawakawaka If any nebula could make a sound it would be this one. NGC 281 aka the Pacman nebula. Best 111 five minute exposures for just over 9 hours worth of data. Wakawakawakawaka....

So I shot another night of the Heart, bringing it up over 16 hours. But it's still a work in progress. A very high percentage of the images just aren't good enough to stack. That's most of my problem. Will give this another go. #astronomy #Astrophotography

Have you seen mr robot?

Happy new year, alanah!
I sure hope so

A smooth-lined digital illustration of a beautiful woman slicing the hem of her flowing red robe so as not to disturb a cat which is sleeping on the fabric. A signature in the lower right corner indicates the work was created in 2007. Text above it reads "Old Japanese engraving 'a woman cuts the hem of a kimono so as not to wake cat'"

This favorite amongst fake history accounts is circulating again. It's not old, not Japanese, and not an engraving. It's a digital piece by a Russian freelance artist from 2007: www.free-lancers.net/users/Origin...
