h & chi Persei (other than the obvious M31 and M42) were among the first deep sky objects I targeted as a high school student long time ago.... Always nice to come back! https://t.co/64gUmGnnil🔭#astrophotography 🔭📷
The Lobster Nebula, in the Scorpius, houses the open star cluster Pismis 24 near its center, a home to unusually bright and massive stars
The overall red glow near the inner star forming region results from the emission of ionized hydrogen gas.

Astronomers love the challenge of horizon-hugging southern constellations and seeking the deep-sky gems they host. Read our guide to going south in Sculptor: https://t.co/ylVshQ0P62
@piersmorgan Wishful thinking @piersmorgan. It's not going to happen. Man City have shown time after time how good they are at getting the results needed at the end of the season. Deep down I think you know it's also true.
Like many of you, the news of Frank Borman’s passing is tough to hear. Frank was a NASA institution, his life dedicated to aviation and space – from fighter pilot, to test pilot, to astronaut and beyond. His Apollo 8 Christmas reading of Genesis still echoes. Frank had the right stuff and he will be missed. Godspeed Frank.
Splashdown of #Apollo11 occurred 54 years ago today. Our descent back through the heat of Earth’s atmosphere was appropriately capped with a cool dip in the Pacific, and our recovery by our dedicated military services solidified a safe and successful return from the Moon. The splashdown operation marked the start of after-action work ahead following our quarantine. In many ways, the end of Apollo XI was really just the beginning.
Last nights work. This is the Triangulum Galaxy! It sits at a distance of about 2.73 million light years from earth. I feel great about this image, I really managed to bring out the hydrogen alpha regions 😊 40 billion stars coming at ya! #astronomy#Astrophotography
These are the connected navigation images captured from the departure from Ryugu on Nov. 13 to when attitude control took the asteroid out of sight on Nov. 19. The title of this clip is “Sayonara Ryugu” (Goodbye Ryugu). (📷 JAXA, Chiba Inst. of Tech. & collaborators.)
