This Is The Eta Carinae Nebula! ✨✨✨

This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨

Thought to be a cosmic fire of creation by the Mayans, the Orion Nebula’s bright, vibrant colors come from the massive stars in the open star cluster at the center of the nebula. This star forming region is giving birth to thousands of stars, each of them only a few million years old! 💫💫💫

This is the Skull Nebula! 💀💀💀

The glow of this eerie nebula is perfect for Halloween! This planetary nebula has a binary star system with a third star orbiting it. The beautiful colors of this nebula come from the outer layers of a Sun-like star that died in an explosion! 👻👻👻

Heat of Memories

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for all the support for my astrophotography blog! I just wanted to let you guys know that I have started a project and a blog about light pollution.

As an avid astrophotographer, light pollution has affected me in a variety of ways - most notably by messing up my pictures 😂

I attached the Project DeLight link to this post. I’m also gathering data about outdoor light features across the world: https://forms.gle/UER8BtStqWktf2kn6 - the form will only take about 1-2 minutes and I’ve already posted about the first batch of data in the DeLight blog. 

Thank you everyone!

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! 🌞🌞🌞
