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 Lunar Eclipse of May 15th, 2022! 💖💖💖

As the Earth’s shadow covers the Moon, it appears to disappear into darkness. This is just one of 85 lunar eclipses that will occur in the 21st century. If you missed this one, don’t worry! The next total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8th, 2022. 🌑🌛✨

This is the Trifid Nebula! 🎀🎀🎀

With its name meaning “divided into 3 lobes”, this close-up picture shows the stellar beauty of this star-forming region. Containing an open cluster, emission nebula, reflection nebula, and a dark nebula, the Trifid Nebula is one of the most unique nebulae that makes it a common target for astronomers! 💖💖💖

i love ducks 🦆

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! 🎇💫🎊🎆✨

Join Slooh for a special Star Party Live on Sunday, June 13th at 1 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! 🎊🎊🎊

Jenny McFarlane will be discussing how she expands astronomy outreach at her planetarium! 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! If you are a woman and would like to participate in the Zoom, send an email to paul@slooh.com for the Zoom passcode. Please let me know if you have any questions and I hope you can attend 💖💖💖
