Deep sky image of the Heart Nebula

The Heart Nebula (SH2-190), an emission nebula about 7500 light years away in Cassiopeia. These images I post are better if you enlarge them. 🧪

Any bets that 47 lets the Gaza peace deal collapse now that he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Full-disk lunar image just past full.

Last night's moon. 🧪

Happy to see that this year's Chemistry Nobel was awarded for actual chemistry and not biology again. The biologists got a nice award with the Medicine Nobel this year, so everybody wins!

I wasn't aware of this until I read the post. Honored. 🧪 www.linkedin.com/posts/jeol-l...

My cats would warn me by the sound of them running to hide.

Oops, look for faint activity in the lower middle section.

Second solar time lapse video from today. Best viewed full-screen, otherwise it's hard to see any activity. Look at the upper right for some faint but interesting details. 🧪

Northern Lagoon Nebula in the middle, Bubble Nebula in the upper right. Starry and star-reduced versions of the image. The Northern Lagoon nebula contains the largest known protostar. The open star cluster M52 is just to the right of the Bubble Nebula. 🧪

Wide-field image of the Cocoon nebula with starry background

IC 5146, the Cocoon Nebula, about 4000 light years away in Cygnus. My software detected over 66,000 stars in the original image. You can also see a dark nebula that looks like a trail below the Cocoon nebula.🧪

Solar images from Sept. 20, 2025. An active day for prominences, and plenty of sunspots, too! 🧪

Wide-field view of the Wizard Nebula

NGC 7380 and an enlarged view of the Wizard
Nebula. About 3 hours from my back yard. 🧪

Video of solar prominences from Sept. 14, 2025 acquired for 45 minutes. There's activity on the top, but the most interesting activity is on the lower right. 🧪

Telescope image of two nebulae

Telescope image of two nebulae, zoomed

Sh 2-185 is a cloud of ionized hydrogen about 10,000 light years away in Casseiopeia. One of the two nebulae (the red one) is called the Ghost of Casseiopeia. The bluer one is IC59.🧪

He’s like the arsonist who starts the fire and then pretends to care about the victims.

US fighters intercept Russian aircraft off Alaska for 3rd time in a week Fighters from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) on Sunday intercepted a Russian aircraft in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone.

I wonder if 47 will autograph the radar footage and send it as a gift to Putin?

That's supposed to say "light years". I wish Bluesky had an edit button!

NGC 7822. Zoomed image with stars removed to show SH2-171, the "Teddy Bear Nebula"

Full image of the NGC7822 emission nebula with a Hubble palette

NGC 7822, an emission nebula about 3000 years away in Cepheus. It's a star-forming region like the Eagle Nebula with the famous Pillars of Creation. The zoomed image shows the "pillars" in a section of this image (the Teddy Bear Nebula). I used a Hubble HOS palette to enhance different features.🧪
