What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy?
One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night.

The ridgeline marks the divide, an unspoken law etched in earth and instinct. One pack prowls the valley, the other haunts the pines. Their worlds press against the contour of the land, close but never crossing. Not peace. Not fear. Just understanding.

This image features the flag of Canada waving against a clear blue sky. The flag has its iconic red and white design, with a red maple leaf in the center. However, the maple leaf appears altered, with a drip of red resembling a drop of blood extending from its bottom. This modification gives the flag a more symbolic or political tone, possibly conveying a message related to Canadian identity, history, or current events. The overall composition emphasizes the movement of the flag in the wind, with bright natural lighting enhancing its colors.
Canada represents everything the United States will never be, and the United States represents everything Canada will never become.

The fact that this exists around us but we got stuck on this stupid planet with a bunch of man babies trying to work out their grievances is just so annoying.

The artist, David Cohen is an Asheville-based artist/musician and resident of over forty years. His cartoon work spans various subjects ranging from local issues based in Asheville to more national political events and even to one-off, word-play-oriented jokes. ❤️ Give credit to artists when you can.

Some good news ICYMI: Last weekend, Colorado Parks and Wildlife released 15 gray wolves in the historic effort to re-establish a wolf population in Colorado.
Wolves belong in Colorado. We're working to keep them there and protect them. More info ➡️ biodiv.us/3Wyjb7b

Image of a large galaxy on the right, with two smaller companion galaxies to the left. The large galaxy is ring-shaped, with an oval outer ring, and a small, off-center oval inner ring. The rings and space between are lit with blue plumes and dots. The companion galaxies to the left, one above the other, are much smaller than the main galaxy, and about the same size as each other. The galaxy above has similar coloring and many of the same features as the large ring galaxy, but more of a disturbed s-shape, with no distinct rings. The galaxy below is brighter with a whiter tinge. It has a diffuse spiral shape with a white core similar to that of the ring galaxy, but with a smoother texture. The background is full of more distant, orange-red colored galaxies of various shapes and sizes.
At the center of the image is a horizontal orange cloud known as Herbig-Haro 46/47 that is uneven with rounded ends, and tilted from bottom left to top right. In the middle of this cloud is a yellow-white blob with 8 reddish pink diffraction spikes piercing through it. The left lobe of the cloud is thicker. Just off the edge is a tiny red arc that curves in the opposite direction. The right lobe is thinner, and ends in a smaller orange semi-circle that has a faint purple outline. Just off the edge of this lobe is a slightly smaller orange sponge-like blob. A delicate, semi-transparent blue cloud known as a nebula drifts toward the top of the image and peters out toward the left of the frame. Toward the right and bottom, the nebula ends in a soft ridge set off in a translucent orange. The background is filled with stars and galaxies. Two foreground stars with blue diffraction spikes, seen in the bottom right corner, are especially prominent.
A field of galaxies on the black background of space. In the middle is a collection of dozens of yellowish galaxies that form a foreground galaxy cluster. Among them are distorted linear features, which mostly appear to follow invisible concentric circles curving around the center of the image. The linear features are created when the light of a background galaxy is bent and magnified through an effect called gravitational lensing. A variety of brightly colored, red and blue galaxies of various shapes are scattered across the image, making it feel densely populated.
Red dual opposing jets coming from young stars fill the darker top half of the image. At bottom center is a glowing pale yellow, cave-like structure, its top tilted toward two o’clock, with a bright star at its center. The dust of the cave structure becomes wispy toward eight o’clock. Above the arched top of the dust cave, 3 groupings of stars with diffraction spikes are arranged. A dark cloud sits at the top of the arch of the glowing dust cave, with one streamer curling down the right-hand side. The dark shadow of the cloud appears pinched in the center, with light emerging in a triangle shape above and below the pinch, revealing the presence of a star inside the cloud. The largest jets of red material emanate from within this dark cloud, thick and displaying structure like the rough face of a cliff, glowing brighter at the edges. At top center, a star displays another, larger pinched dark shadow, this time vertically. To the left of this star is a more wispy, indistinct region.
another timeline cleanse from all the doom and gloom 🌌
