This is another photo of the Jupiter Saturn Conjunction! 🪐🪐🪐

The two planets are getting closer each day! I love this picture because you can clearly see Jupiter’s 4 largest moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto) and a nice view of Saturn. This event is very rare - Jupiter and Saturn are the closest since the year 1623! ✨✨✨

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 Trifid Nebula! 🌺🌺🌺

With an age of around 300,000 years, this nebula is one of the youngest emission nebulae known. Its name comes from the multiple dust lanes across the nebulae that cover a newly born cluster of stars! ✨✨✨

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! 🌞🌞🌞

Crossover to a better world

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 Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨

There are around 700 newborn stars in this nebula and more are being born each year! This is without a doubt, the most photographed object in the night sky due to its bright and radiant colors. You might even be able to see it without a telescope (in good weather)! 😍😍😍

now that most of us are at home, i thought this could be useful to the ones who aren't that used to learning material on their own and aren’t sure where to start, or which order of steps to follow. happy studying! 💗
