NGC 6357, The Grand Star Cathedral

Lagoon Nebula, M8, in Sagittarius ❤

Taken by me (Michelle Park) using the Slooh Canary Two Telescope, taken in August 2018.

This is the Pleiades! 💫💫💫

This stunning cluster is the nearest object in the Messier catalog to Earth and is easily visible in the night sky. Each of these stars are almost 40 times brighter than our Sun and are surrounded by a reflection nebula! 🌞🌞🌞

𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 8 𝐝𝐞𝐜 • The fact that it's the last monthly spread of this year seems so unreal..I did this constellation kind of theme because outer space have a special place in my heart and this is my birth month so why not! also let's say goodbye to this unfortunate year and wish that the new moon of 2021 will bring new lights!✨

This is the Eskimo Nebula! ⛄⛄⛄

This nebula is created by the death of a Sun-like star and its strange 2 layered appearance gives it a lot of creative names such as the Clown-Faced Nebula or the Lion Nebula. Even though it looks like the planetary nebula is smooth, the reality is that it has dense filaments of matter all around it! ✨✨✨

Slooh just got a massive update so there are more quests - which means more collages of astrophotos!

Here is a collection of some of my best nebulae photos: the Lagoon Nebula, Rho Ophiuchi, Horsehead Nebula, and Dumbbell Nebula! 🎇💫🎊🎆✨

This is the Dumbbell Nebula! ⏳⏳⏳

Similar to many other planetary nebulae, the Dumbbell Nebula has a pattern of dark and bright knots made of gas and dust. These beautiful, ornate features are formed when stellar winds don’t fully blow away the nebula’s material and they leave a trail behind! 💘💘💘

This is the Blue Moon! 🌝✨🌝✨🌝✨

A blue moon occurs when there are more than 1 full moon per month (it’s not actually blue 😭). We were lucky to have it on Halloween since this occurrence is pretty rare: the next time there will be a blue moon on Halloween is 19 years from now! 👻🎃🦇🍬🍭🍫
