handle on Instagram or follow observatoray over there. I will miss this place and the great things I have learned via the people here. The account will stick around for a week or so then I will delete it. Onwards and upwards. 2/2

I've had a twitter account since early 2007 but I've decided the departure of security and privacy leadership have left the platform too risky to remain a part of. If you would like to follow my space stuff, visit https://t.co/UzhIY5ygBM and for everything else look up this 1/2

Huge congrats to the team that worked on this so tirelessly across the Creative Lab and Security teams. It really is an incredible piece of work:

M78, Close-up

Finally had a chance to process this amazing data from a 17-inch Planewave CDK scope in Chile that was captured the second half of January 2022. I was actually surprised how much color there was so I went with it.

[Mathew Ray @mrayinteractive]

M78 is just above Orion's Belt and is a reflection nebula, meaning the light you see is reflected starlight from some of the very luminous stars hiding in the dust and gas. This area is also the site of active star formation with a handful of Herbig-Haro objects.
