When you have way too much liquid nitrogen in the summer, you need to start being creative with how you use it. What do you think Cassandra is going to do with it? #AstroCamp #liquidnitrogen #supercool #sciencecamp #camplife via Instagram http://bit.ly/2E3xHdF

This is the 51st entry in Charles Messier's famous catalog, the Whirlpool Galaxy. Its spiral arms and dust lanes clearly sweep in front of its companion galaxy (bottom). The pair are about 31 million light-years distant and officially lie within the angular boundaries of the small constellation Canes Venatici. #AstroCamp #galaxy #space #astronomy #spiral ⠀ ⠀ Image Credit & Copyright: Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn (Weather and Sky Photography) via Instagram http://bit.ly/2B7Hqwp

Deep space object, Thor's Helmet, is an emission type nebula. The interstellar bubble spans about 30 light-years across and is located about 12,000 light-years away toward the constellation of the Big Dog (Canis Major)! #AstroCamp #nebula #space #astronomy #stellar #stars #light #NASA #Thor #bubble⠀ Image Credit & Copyright: Adam Block, Mt.

If our Sun were near the center of NGC 362, the night sky would glow like a jewel box of bright stars. Hundreds of stars would glow brighter than Sirius, and in many different colors. NGC 362 is one of only about 170 globular clusters of stars that exist in our Milky Way Galaxy. This star cluster is one of the younger globulars, forming likely well after our Galaxy. #AstroCamp #astronomy #cluster #stars #starstuff #space⠀ ⠀ Image Credit: Hubble WFC3, NASA, ESA, J. Heyl, I.
