So, just wanted to share that early modern pop-up astronomy books were a thing and they are absolutely glorious.

Here's a close-up of the little dragon-serpent guy, because he is especially magnificent.

Clearest picture of Jupiter, from Earth. Isn't she beautiful? Actually hundreds of photos taken by the Gemini North Telescope in Hawaii, compiled to produce the infrared snap in order to see beyond Jupiter’s hazy atmosphere.

Alpha Camelopardalis

Stars may appear fixed in our sky, but they are all moving, orbiting our galaxies centre with different speed's, trajectories, so much so that over time even the closest star will no longer be the closest star as our orbits move off in different paths.

Some stars however are moving in very different directions, often at much higher speeds, some even may eventually exit the galaxy disk and move out far beyond.

These high proper motion stars like Alpha Camelopardalis are the wild cards, shooting through our galaxy obeying only their own rules.

This star as it moves through a dense nebulous region has created a bow shockwave forming a bubble like structure around it as it ploughs through and illuminates the gas, as it's a type O9 star, a supergiant blue star, thought to have been thrown out of it's birth cluster through gravitational interactions with others.

It was thought that the star was not alone in it's travels, sporting a binary partner, however since it has been dismissed and assumed to be a single star.

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.
