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...

Continuing adventures with mono. Took a bit since I was fighting cloudy nights; thought I would never get my Oiii data. And post processing can be a major time sink hole. I have 4 different color versions of this target. Attached are two. #astrophotography #colorado
A false-color image of the Seagull Nebula using the SHO palette, where sulfur is mapped to red, hydrogen to green, and oxygen to blue. The "head" of the seagull (NGC 2327) appears as a bright, dense golden-yellow cloud at the top. Its massive "wings," spanning 250 light-years, stretch across the frame in a blend of amber and gold. The center of the nebula glows with turquoise hues where oxygen is most concentrated. A wide-field view of the Seagull Nebula in alternate Hubble palette colors. The gas clouds form a celestial bird with outstretched wings. the head and wings are shown in a a pale tan/red color with the central body a vibrant blue.

#PPOD: The first anniversary image from NASA’s JWST displays star birth like it’s never been seen before, full of detailed, impressionistic texture. The subject is the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, the closest star-forming region to Earth. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬
A view of a colorful nebula, the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, captured by JWST. The image shows a colorful nebula with a detailed, impressionistic texture and jets of molecular hydrogen (red) bursting from young stars. The star S1, the most massive one in the image, is carving out a glowing golden cave in the gas and dust with its stellar winds.

#atomland ⚛️ some posts mention it already, but I thought it’d be good to list of who represents what chemical element! so far I have…

Hyatt: hydrogen
Cargan: carbon
Niall: nitrogen
Oskar: oxygen

(🌳yes, they’re the big 4 elements of life. I will reply to this when I reveal/design more elements)
Two electron familiars, which appear as glowing ghost like figures. They are emerging from the notes on a drawing board. The background is a golden yellow with hexagonal patterning.

Captured the beauty of SH2-126 in stunning LRGB! 🌌 This lesser-known nebula in Cygnus glows beautifully with subtle hydrogen emission and intricate dark dust lanes. A joy to image under clear, dark skies! #Astrophotography #LRGB #SH2126 - Difficult to process too ;) We'll keep working on it! 🔭
An LRGB image of SH2-126, a faint emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus, also known as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way. The nebula, primarily composed of glowing hydrogen gas, appears as a soft red hue interwoven with intricate dark dust lanes that obscure background stars. Surrounding the nebula are countless stars, some with a golden or bluish tint, adding contrast and depth to the scene. This region is part of a dense molecular cloud complex and is illuminated by nearby young stars, which contribute to its faint glow. The image captures the subtle gradients and delicate structures of the nebula, revealing both its beauty and complexity in the context of the rich Cygnus star field

Wow! Very nice. Those drops in the upper corners remind me of symbol we used for a hydrogen power startup that was so pleasing to the eye, because it used the golden ratio.

Give @ChandraXRay a hand!

With Chandra's X-ray vision and radio data from telescopes in Australia, astronomers are getting a new look at this ghostly nebula: https://go.nasa.gov/45vyVgh
This is a composite image of a nebula and pulsar that strongly resembles a cosmic hand reaching for a neon red cloud. The neon red cloud sits near the top of the image, just to our right of center. Breaks in the cloud reveal interwoven strands of gold resembling spiderwebs, or a latticework substructure. The bottom half of the image is dominated by a massive blue hand reaching up toward the pulsar and supernova cloud. Inside the hand, streaks and swirls of blue range from pale to navy. The hand and nebula are set against the blackness of space, surrounded by scores of gleaming golden specks. At our lower left, a golden hydrogen gas cloud extends beyond the edges of the image.

Golden hydrogen—or fool’s gold?
It’s nice to think there are vast quantities of naturally-occurring hydrogen that could solve the world’s energy problems, but it’s unlikely.

SHIVERS - Hydrogen streetlamps burn on Rue de Saint-Ghislaine, golden light casting black shadows. Further inland, in Jamrock, the street grid appears black -- unlit avenue after unlit avenue. Altocumulus clouds form above Precinct 41.

I've been taking my first color space photos with my telescope recently
A galaxy seen edge-on in a field of stars. The galaxy appears to be bisected by a thick lane of dark dust. The outer fringes of the galaxy appear to glow a faint purple, while the interior is a golden-white. A large spiral galaxy in a field of stars. The arms of the galaxy are a light purple color. The galaxy gently fades into a yellow hue towards the center, with dark lanes of brownish dust obscuring parts of the arms. The nucleus glows a bright yellow-white. A color image of the Cone Nebula. A dark pillar of dust and gas stands silhouetted in front of a glowing red cloud of ionized hydrogen amidst a dense field of stars. To the upper right sits a brighter pale-white patch of nebulosity illuminated by the light of nearby bright stars.

Golden Sun: Alex Path 4/10
Neat idea, give players the power fantasy that the game's lore promises. Sadly, once the game gives you the hydrogen bomb about 1/3 into it, fighting 100 coughing babies for the next 8 hours loses its luster fast.

Quote post with your flags!

Magenta and green one on a black field: A form of gender-queerness using four frames of a phase shift of a hydrogen atom, symbolizing how on any given day I feel different about my gender or lack thereof. Feel free to use it if you want. :)

I'm a complex cat.
The redesigned polyamory flag. The demisexual pride flag. The progress pride flag. A new gender queer flag design, utilizing for frames of phase shift of a hydrogen atom used on the golden record cover of the Voyager probes. Magenta symbolizes the blending of genders while green symbolizes the brief feelings of gender or lack thereof when they happen. Black symbolizes possibility, where feelings and sense of self arise out of.

I was surprised to see @canarymedia.com post a story extolling hydrogen ferries. On San Francisco Bay, one of the two ferry services is already committed to going fully electric, though the Golden Gate Bridge District still insists on diesel. @goldengate.org www.kneedeeptimes.org/too-bad-gold...
Too Bad Golden Gate Ferry Sticking With Diesel
Despite its pro-environment history, the Golden Gate District is resisting ferry electrification, frustrating advocates for a zero-emission fleet.

A kind of magical thinking evolves in the minds of politicians who really want to believe that LNG is somehow “better,” that hydrogen will solve everything, and that getting rid of NEPA will usher in a golden era of building stuff.

My Golden Retriever once ate a whole freshly baked loaf of lemon bread infused with an eighth of weed. Had to rush him to the vet to induce vomiting. He ended up being fine. Pro-tip, a swig of hydrogen peroxide will make them vomit if you’re in a pinch.

Me? Oh, I’m just a man like any other man, awakened by the realization that aliens deciphering all the knowledge contained in the golden record on Voyager hinged on time measurement, and researching until you learn that they used the two lowest energy states of the hydrogen atom.
