Join us for a special Star Party Live on Sunday, November 29th at 12:00 pm EST! 

The Slooh Ambassadors (which includes me) have been working on this Women are From Venus star party that hopes to encourage women to participate in astronomy!

I will be presenting my research during the event so please consider joining! There will also be other talks made by other Slooh women who are passionate about space. 

All you need to do is to make a free account at Slooh.com and then watch the star party on the website! Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you can attend 😆😆😆

This is the Cat’s Paw Nebula! 🐾🐾🐾

This nebula is glowing due to the interactions between its hot stars and large molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it particularly bright in the infrared and a common target for astrophotography in the Milky Way galaxy! 🔭🔭🔭

A week of playing catch-up 

This is the Rosette Nebula! 🌹🌹🌹

This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! ✨✨✨

This is the 2021 Pink Supermoon!🌜🌷🌸🌹🌺🌼💐💮

Although this moon is not pink, the name “Pink Moon” is named after the pink phlox flower that appears in the spring during the time of this event. This rare celestial event won’t happen again for another 8 years so be sure to check it out! ✨✨✨
