Had the chance to capture this galaxy, M51, from my obsevatory in Mexico City this very week! Zoomed in beforehand to show you the details of this magnificent pair of interacting galaxies.
M16’s region close to the galactic center. Famous for featuring the Pillars of Creation, M16, popularly known as the Eagle Nebula, here resembles the face of a bearded man (can you make it out?).
Took this picture from my rooftop in Mexico City.
This turned out to be the last picture with my 130 mm Newtonian telescope. Unfortunately, high winds knocked it out despite my ZWO Mount had more than 11 pounds of counterweights to hold it in place. Anyway, the fact that I was able to capture 3 galaxies that are about 35 M-ly away makes me love my hobby no matter what.
I published a few weeks ago a widefield view of the Omega Glob Cluster with my Rokinon 135 mm lens. Couldn’t resist to try a closer look with my 130 mm newt, so I shot it again! Wouldn’t you have done the same? Love this yaw dropping cluster!
If I understood well, our cosmos at the beginning was a very dense but chaotic nebula. With inflation, it started to break into smaller clouds. Gravity pulled some of this gas and started to form stars. These stars, thanks to their energy, carved and shaped these nebulae.
Lower’s nebula, depicted in my attached picture, is a small remnant of this lengthy process.
The famous Ring Nebula is seen in brilliant new clarity, thanks to a new James Webb Space Telescope image released by researchers in the JWST Ring Nebula Imaging Project.
The image was processed by Roger Wesson, according to Western University in Ontario.
Sharing some of my favorite #Hubble images from the #NASA archives to commemorate the space telescope’s 33rd anniversary. We should take a moment to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the universe.
Information about the images + Hubble facts, a thread: 1/x
One of the most visually stunning images #Hubble has captured. This is the giant nebula #NGC2014 and its neighbor #NGC2020, part of a star-forming region in the #LargeMagellanicCloud—a satellite galaxy of the #MilkyWay, about 163,000 light-years distant.
