@spsheridan and I gave ourselves a new telescope for Christmas. It’s a Unistellar Equinox 2. I’m flabbergasted at the images we’re able to capture in Los Angeles (think the home of light pollution). The first pic is NGC 2683, another GALAXY. How crazy is that? The second one is the Orion Nebula. I’m blown away by this.
Astronomers used JWST to study molecules in a protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula to follow the destruction and replenishment of water. Planet-forming disks are places of chaotic activity. Not only do planetesimals slam together to form larger worlds, but it now appears that the process involves the destructive recycling of...
M42 is special for me. It's the reason I started my astronomy journey and it's my favorite object in the winter night sky. I keep coming back to it again and again and it became a nice benchmark of my skills in astrophotography.
My Dad got a new Seestar S50 and picked "Orion Nebula" on the app. 10 minutes later, it stacked the images it had taken and gave us this view of the stellar nursery.
Incredible New Image of the Orion Nebula from JWST
The Orion Nebula is one of the brightest star-forming regions in the sky, easily visible in a small telescope. But you've never seen anything like this new image from JWST. Researchers have created enormous mosaics of the region in both short and long-wavelength channels. An interactive interface from ESA allows you to zoom in and out of the image and switch between the views. You can see details in the stellar discs and outflows in the short-wavelength version, while the long-wavelength version reveals the network of dust and organic compounds.
