The Heart Nebula in an autumnal hue. This emission nebula is a gorgeous target and I'm really pleased with the result. I will do a 'traditional' edit so you can see the real colours too. #astrophotography #nebula

The number of overweight, short, non-white or female guards among this team suggests that given the administration's overt bigotry they may have been selected as sacrificial pawns.

First images of comet #3I/ATLAS from Europe's Mars orbiters 😍

Observing the comet from 30 million km away, #ExoMars reveals the halo of gas and dust surrounding the comet's nucleus.

On the night of 13-14 October, Jupiter's moon #Ganymede will pass in front of star HIP37442.

Observing this occultation pinpoints Ganymede's position even more precisely, helping our Juice mission reach its target.

Can you help?

Work in progress - maybe half way? The Bubble Nebula is looking quite good, but there's not enough 'body' in the nebulosity yet. It's cloudy now, but it may clear. 🔭

A bubble appears to float in a rich starscape of luminous clouds. This is the Bubble Nebula NGC 7635, formed by the shock wave produced by the stellar wind from the hot star BD+60°2522.

Prez pedo is claiming babies? Is that his allegation?

You'll still want to increase the amount of heavy wrinkles covered by the foundation and add the pigment disorder (vitiligo?) that led to both he and his father using colored foundations. Closest so far. 👍

Exciting. I'd have been happier if it was "Dirk and Lerxst's Roadshow" but I'm sure promoters are happier it's Rush.

Going into that I was thinking it could be, but when it was, I laughed til I cried.

WIP (work in progress)

Sharpless 162, Caldwell 11, the Bubble Nebula

also here - NGC 7538, Sharpless 159 and M52/NGC 7654.

5 minutes of hydrogen alpha, Bortle 8, high light cloud, clearing.

A monochrome star field, that includes two distinct nebulae - NGC 7638 in the lower left, NGC 7635 or Sharpless 162 or Caldwell 11, known as the Bubble Nebula near the center. Less distinct at just five minutes is Sharpless 159, center left of the image. The cluster M52 is in the lower right.

Boris Johnson should marry Kemi Badenoch and take her name, because that's the level of clown villainy running the Tory Party.

They should have burned the garlic stuffed remains, compressed the ashes into an artificial diamond and then fired that into the far side of the Sun, so that any ejected particles go away from the Earth.

Here's World Domination Enterprises (featuring the late Keith Dobson on vocals and guitar and aka Here & Now drummer Kif Kif le Batteur) with their song "Asbestos Lead Asbestos" on SnubTV. They were superb live.

The Tadpoles in Auriga shot in narrow band SHO (Sulfur, Hydrogen, Oxygen) from my backyard during last night's #Astrophotography 🔭📷 session. Slightly psychedelic colors but I like those 🫠. The stars are RGB though. Am I spot on @kat-astro-bot.bsky.social ?

The problem lies in the boardrooms, and our craven governemts who feel obligated by established systems (of larceny). Corporate boards are cross-populated with the same oligarchs worldwide, and governments feel impotent. The solution is quantitative easing by four or more orders of magnitude.
