Lets Fucking Talk About Space

I have many passionate feelings about space so that it what this blog is for

NGC 6188 and NGC 6164

(via APOD; Image Credit & Copyright: Martin Pugh & Rick Stevenson )

Fantastic shapes lurk in clouds of glowing gas in the giant star forming region NGC 6188. The emission nebula is found about 4,000 light years away near the edge of a large molecular cloud unseen at visible wavelengths, in the southern constellation Ara. Massive, young stars of the embedded Ara OB1 association were formed in that region only a few million years ago, sculpting the dark shapes and powering the nebular glow with stellar winds and intense ultraviolet radiation. The recent star formation itself was likely triggered by winds and supernova explosions, from previous generations of massive stars, that swept up and compressed the molecular gas. Joining NGC 6188 on this cosmic canvas, visible toward the lower right, is rare emission nebula NGC 6164, also created by one of the region’s massive O-type stars. Similar in appearance to many planetary nebulae, NGC 6164’s striking, symmetric gaseous shroud and faint halo surround its bright central star near the bottom edge. The impressively wide field of view spans over 3 degrees (six full Moons), corresponding to over 200 light years at the estimated distance of NGC 6188. Three image sets have been included in the featured composite.

Helix nebula

The Helix nebula lies 650 light-years away, in the constellation of Aquarius. Also known by the catalog number NGC 7293, it is a typical example of a class of objects called planetary nebulae. Discovered in the 18th century, these cosmic works of art were erroneously named for their resemblance to gas-giant planets.

Tonight I took two of the sharpest images of Jupiter I’ve ever taken, featuring its moon Io. In the first image, The Great Red Spot is almost dead center and the moon Io is just heading behind the right side of the planet. So happy that the wind finally died down. Last one for the night. This is the best 65 percent of 1,777 images from a 1 minute video. Earlier on I took the image on the right. The wind seemed to have stopped just so I could get about 800 frames for this image. The Great Red Spot is in clear view and the moon Io is just off to the right. The cloud bands are the most detailed I’ve ever managed to get them. So happy with how his came out. ‪
