The Flame (NGC 2024) and Horsehead Nebula (IC 434)

I've added 40 minutes more exposure time to this, which was my first image with a new telescope, an Astro-Tech AT115EDT 115mm APO triplet refractor.

This is 70x60s exposures.

Neither night was perfect — clouds the first and poor seeing the next. Still, I'm happy!

The Horsehead Nebula and the Flame Nebula in a field of starts. A dark cloud in the shape of a horse’s head set again a lane of red dust, with a bright start to its left. Below that bright star in the frame is the Flame Nebula, dark tendrils against a light orange/brown cloud reminiscent of flame.


The Sombrero Galaxy - New Image!

The Sombrero Galaxy, or Messier 104, is an odd galaxy, roughly 31 million light years from Earth.
This family of stars is noted for its massive brightly lit center, surrounded by dark, intricate lanes of dark dust.

Today Perseverance arrived at some really intriguing bands of fine grained rocks. They are part of the "Curvilinear Unit" and thought to be ancient sand bars.

In 1977, NASA began looking for women astronauts.

Sally Ride spotted an ad about it in the Stanford school newspaper & applied. She was one of six women chosen.

In 1983, Ride became the first American woman to travel into #space. Her role as a mission specialist was to work a robotic arm to move satellites.

Ride went on to teach at UC San Diego & worked to promote women & girls in STEM. She also wrote children’s books about exploring space. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/who-was-sally-ride-58.html #HistoryRemix

You can see Ganymede's shadow cause an eclipse on Europa. Great work from Christopher Go.

https://www.universomagico.net/2023/02/messier-78-por-tony-hallas.html
The image of Astronomer Tony Hallas shows Messier 78, also cataloged as NGC 2068, is a reflection nebula located in the Orion constellation. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780 and included by Charles Messier in his popular catalog of diffuse objects that same year. M78 is the diffuse nebula of brighter reflection of a group of nebulae that includes NGC 2064, NGC 2067 and.....

The #MarsHelicopter should be visible at its 44th landing location from #Perseverance at location RMC 34.0000, if my localization is approximately correct. Dark areas in the map are not visible by the rover.

#Mars2020 #NASA #Solarocks #Space


New location estimate for #Perseverance on Sol 715, approximately 190m to the north. New site, RMC 34.0000.

The estimate is based on just one NAVCAM mosaic (follows in thread) whose FOV shows on the map; #Ingenuity should be located straight ahead.

The estimated may change as more images are downlinked. This post will then be edited.

Caldwell 58, also cataloged as NGC 2360 and Melotte 64 among other designations, is popularly known as the Caroline Cluster, Caroline's Cluster in English. This name was coined because it was discovered by the German astronomer Caroline Hershel on February 26, 1783. Caldwell 58 is located at a distance of about 3,700 light years from Earth and is located in the direction of the.....

#UMPlus - NGC 7
https://www.universomagico.net/2023/02/ngc-7.html
NGC 7 is a barred spiral galaxy shown edge-on from our perspective. It is located in the direction of the Sculptor Constellation. Like other visible objects in the sky, its observation is best with peripheral vision, without looking directly at it. It lies so far south in the sky that it is difficult to see from populated regions on Earth since it never rises more than 17º above the horizon. NGC 7 is.....

In this image we can see Phobos the potato shape satellite over Mars. Colours are the rusty yellowish of the Mars surface and Phobos is quite greyish. Half of the image is on the night side and Phobos is over the terminator. Mars terrain is very interesting, showing off craters, canyons and some clouds on the top.

The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard #Perseverance.

Temperatures averaged between -85 and -19°C during the past week; average air pressure kept rising.

Air density minimum continued rising slowly and is now above 0.015kg/m3, which allows #Ingenuity to fly in low gear.

This is amazing. NASA commissioned a microgravity compatible espresso machine for the International Space Station (to make ISSpresso, obviously), and to stop the astronaut having to drink espresso from a closed container with a straw, a bunch of NASA volunteers designed the Space Cup, so the crema bubbles could be seen and the coffee smelled even in microgravity. And I've just been sent one in the post. That's Samantha Cristoforetti drinking from it in the ISS cupola. #ISS #Space #Coffee

British Rail was the state-owned company which ran the UK's railway network from 1948 to 1997. It didn't do anything else, just trains and public transport.

Inexplicably, in 1973 it patented a nuclear fusion-powered flying saucer with an artificial gravity generator, creating a graviton field using high energy electrons.

Here's the patent:

Here's an in-depth look at the whole bizarre situation:
