✿ these past two days i’ve been organizing and getting things done ! i recreated my “life dashboard” on notion and i’ve been taking some python notes on there as well. i also recently deleted my acnh island after having a breakdown over how horrible it was ( oops lol ) , but i’ve restarted & im having fun playing in the early stages of the game hehe ✿
One of my best shots of this stunning galaxy! Please follow my astrophotography tumblr (mystarypi-astronomy.tumblr.com) for similar astrophotos like these!
This is the Silver Coin Galaxy! 💸💸💸
This is one of the brightest and dustiest galaxies known to Earth. With so much dust, star formation is aggressive in this galaxy and thus, it is classified as a starbust galaxy! ✨✨✨
Many scientists think that the star formation may have also been caused by the Silver Coin Galaxy’s collision with a dwarf galaxy billions of years ago! 🌌🌌🌌

This is the Eagle Nebula! 🦅🦅🦅
This young cluster of stars and the distinct Pillars of Creation at the center of the nebula are located in the constellation of Serpens. These stars, which were formed in the HII region of this nebula, are very massive: some of them are up to 1 million solar luminosities! ✨✨✨

This is the Trifid Nebula! ✨✨✨
At the center of this nebula is a group of bright newborn stars that are releasing streams of radiation and sculpting the nebula’s shape. Located next to the famous Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula is a common target for astrophotographers due to its vibrant colors and high visibility! 💖💖💖

This is the Box Nebula AKA The Little Gem Nebula! 📦 💎 📦 💎 📦💎
Although this planetary nebula may look small, it’s around 4 light years across! The unusual shape may be due to its orientation to us… 👀👀👀

This is Comet PanSTARRS! 🌠🌠🌠
This gif was created throughout the night of July 25th and you can see the potentially interstellar comet in motion.

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑
The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻
