The Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) in Near Infrared - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/eaDxth
This image shows the Great Nebula in Carina (NGC 3372) in infrared light. This majestic nebula is one of the largest nebulae in the sky and lies about 7,500 light years distant in the Southern constellation of Carina, The Keel. Several star clusters containing some of the brightest and most massive stars known are found here, including the extremely luminous hypergiant star Eta Carinae - one of the prime candidates for the next supernova explosion in our galaxy. Traditional images of the Carina Nebula taken in visible light primarily display the striking magenta colour from glowing Hydrogen gas, as well as large dark obscuring clouds of dust. But infrared light penetrates these clouds better and allows for a deep peek into the heart of the nebula, revealing complex details and thousands of young stars that are otherwise completely invisible. These stars shine primarily in the infrared and appear as golden red in this image. Only a minority of these are even visible in traditional images. The infrared region seems largely unexplored by amateur astronomers. But using a filter that only allows infrared light (>700nm) to pass through allows for obtaining an image of these hidden features. Effectively the band observed is 700-1100nm since the sillicon CCD chip is not responsive to wavelengths longer than that, and this band is called NIR (Near Infrared). One issue arising from this technique is that the NIR band does not have a colour as such, since it lies outside the v...

Heard a punk band own this song one night @ Al’s bar in downtown LA. Circa 1997. In double time even!

They frequent Dlim’s bathhouse out off 17th often as well. It’s disguised as a game store.

The A in AI stands for artificial. Forget that and soon you’ll be wholeheartedly believing artificial entities. That’s an easy way to lose your mind.

Why do that and have to wage war. Because the US government, especially the current administration, does accept in any way shape or form authority above them. Regardless of any displays of greatness. Just let fools destroy themselves. You don’t live in a nanny state & your demigods recognize no gods

In the Samaria Gorge on the island of Crete, Greece, lies a very deep cave with a continual cold spring waterfall. To reach it, you have to swim about 100 meters in 10 degree (C) water. I spent time thinking about hypothermia I was so cold. Nice payoff tho.

Walls of the cave direct you to a small bright opening in which a cold mountain spring falls to bright turquoise water. Along with Denali Mountain and Bryce Canyon, this is the most majestic place I’ve ever been. My teeth rattling even as I could stand in only waist deep water kept me from fully enjoying it,, but no chance I was missing this just for some discomfort. It seemed to get progressively colder tho so this is about as close as I got. In later days I’ll post a shot looking back thru the caves. The video I took is really the best indicator of the beauty here but I dunno if I can post that here or not. I may try in the comments later today.
