Think I'll wash my hair and read proxy statements the rest of the night.

I didn't head out to flatside till after the rain started. Did see some mountain bike tracks.

NGC 1893 and the Tadpoles of IC 410
Image Credit & Copyright: Sander de Jong

Explanation: This cosmic view shows off an otherwise faint emission nebula IC 410, captured under clear Netherlands skies with telescope and narrowband filters. Above and right of center you can spot two remarkable inhabitants of the interstellar pond of gas and dust, known as the tadpoles of IC 410. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars energize the glowing gas. Globules composed of denser cooler gas and dust, the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation their heads are outlined by bright ridges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster's central young stars. IC 410 and embedded NGC 1893 lie some 10,000 light-years away, toward the nebula-rich constellation Auriga.

The Moon has a giant companion at dawn the next couple of days. The star Antares will be close to the lower left of the Moon tomorrow, and about the same distance to the upper right of the Moon on Monday

Patagomaia supports the view that the Southern Hemisphere was a cradle for the evolution of modern mammalian clades, alongside non-therian extinct groups such as meridiolestidans, gondwanatherians and monotremes.

NGC 1365: Majestic Island Universe
Image Credit & Copyright: Processing - Jean-Baptiste Auroux, Data - Mike Selby

Explanation: Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 is truly a majestic island universe some 200,000 light-years across. Located a mere 60 million light-years away toward the faint but heated constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is a dominant member of the well-studied Fornax Cluster of galaxies. This sharp color image shows the intense, reddish star forming regions near the ends of the galaxy's central bar and along its spiral arms. Seen in fine detail, obscuring dust lanes cut across the galaxy's bright core. At the core lies a supermassive black hole. Astronomers think NGC 1365's prominent bar plays a crucial role in the galaxy's evolution, drawing gas and dust into a star-forming maelstrom and ultimately feeding material into the central black hole.

@whstancil The homicide rate in America is driven in huge part by the enormous homicide problem among African-Americans. Importing more immigrants to worsen the problems of black Americans in the job marketplace probably doesn't help our black fellow citizens behave better.

Jupiter is high in the south-southwest at nightfall. The solar system’s largest planet looks like a brilliant star - No other point of light in the sky at that hour outshines it!
Binoculars reveal its largest moons, which look like tiny stars near Jupiter.

A Herculean galaxy 💪

The spiral galaxy UGC 11105 shines in this week's #HubbleFriday view, from its home 110 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules.

Looks like a good weekend to drive around the flat side pinnacle area.
