In the centre of the galaxy, the bulge shines as a hazy oval, emitting a faint golden gleam. Starting at the central bulge, several glistening spiral arms coil outwards, creating a perfectly circle-shaped spiral. They give the impression of someone having sprinkled pastel purple glitter on the pitch-black background, in the shape of sparkling, curled-up snakes.
A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like edge-on, against a pitch-black backdrop. The Milky Wayβs disc appears in the centre of the image, as a thin, dark-brown line spanning from left to right, with the hint of a wave in it. The line appears to be etched into a thin glowing layer of silver sand, that makes it look as if it was drawn with a coloured pencil on coarse paper. The bulge of the galaxy sits like a glowing, see-through pearl in the shape of a sphere in the centre of this brown line
The ESA #Gaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement π

From Earthβs view, the Moon βoccultedβ - passed in front of - Mars last night (Jan 13)β¦ these are a tad fuzzy thanks to thin clouds over #Albuquerque, but the tiny red dot is definitely there! (Itβs at bottom left in 1st pic, top right in 2nd) #astronomy #occultation

In New Mexico, a half-decade of redistributive state tax policy (and an oil & gas boom) have cut poverty to record lows, outstripping many other states.
Think "big, structural change" is impossible? Think again.
The Horsehead nebula in Orion
The Horsehead Nebula (with the Flame Nebula below and to the left) is ~1,375 light years away from earth, in Orion.
For those curious: I used sulfur, hydrogen, & oxygen (SHO) filters with a monochrome astronomy camera to acquire this image.
