    Default Today I...

    after four hours, the girl-child and i awoke
    for our next eight hours of training playing games.

    she sprinted past...

    "the cabinet of all knowledge"

    containing close to forty-thousand flash-cards
    previously memorised by our son
    and, now, the crux
    of the girl-child's
    home-schooling
    ...and out-side in search of my son's mother
    and
    the goats.

    the contact of my pain-fully dry feet
    with the rough concrete floor
    informed me of the
    extremely dry atmospheric conditions
    and concomitantly excellent star-gazing available that evening
    for the two of us.

    as the girl-child was across the valley,
    i turned on the
    inter-webs and (hurriedly) reviewed the night-sky:

    Fresh from our beloved Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys: spiral galaxy Messier 66, the largest and third of the Leo triplets.
    Its arms are asymmetrical which is quite odd, and they "creep" around the galaxy's main disc making the core look displaced. Most likely its peculiar anatomy is a result of the gravitational pull of the other two members of the trio that has caused it to stretch out.
    This is a composite of images obtained through the following filters: 814W (near infrared), 555W (green) and H-alpha (showing the glowing of the hydrogen gas). They have been combined so to represent the real colors of the galaxy.
    Galactic anomalies ftw

    Not pure astronomy per se, but from the end of Empire Strikes Back:




    And our lovely local star, aka the Sun:

    Lightning at Weikerscheim Observatory Astronomy only plays a tangential role in this picture… you can see stars in the sky, and the observatory is pretty obvious. But it’s the terrestrial drama that steals the show.


    I admire those who fight for a cause and despise those who cause fights.

    When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.

    Just to necromance a lovely thread.
    Not exactly what you'd expect from a serious astronomy lover but, alas.

    Globular and open clusters, some serious hydrogen emission nebulae, a little of what appears to be supernova remnant, fluffy clouds of interstellar gas in the form of KITTEHS!

    Pic made by me. Obviously not photos, but my point is that many of the pics who you think are photos may very well be made using a 2D/3D software.
