“The Hidden Galaxy”, IC342, Near the center of The Milky Way. IC 342 is a challenging cosmic target. Although it is bright, the galaxy sits near the equator of the Milky Way’s galactic disk, where the sky is thick with glowing cosmic gas, bright stars, and dark, obscuring dust. In order for astronomers to see the intricate spiral structure of IC 342, they must gaze through a large amount of material contained within our own galaxy — no easy feat! As a result IC 342 is relatively difficult to spot and image, giving rise to its intriguing nickname: the “Hidden Galaxy.” Located very close (in astronomical terms) to the Milky Way, this sweeping spiral galaxy would be among the brightest in the sky were it not for its dust-obscured location. The galaxy is very active, as indicated by the range of colors visible in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image, depicting the very central region of the galaxy. A beautiful mixture of hot, blue star-forming regions, redder, cooler regions of gas, and dark lanes of opaque dust can be seen, all swirling together around a bright core. In 2003, astronomers confirmed this core to be a specific type of central region known as an HII nucleus — a name that indicates the presence of ionized hydrogen — that is likely to be creating many hot new stars.

The sanctity of an adventure is not based on its immediate results. Adventure is sacred because of the changes it causes in the universe, (The Butterfly Effect), Thus, its sanctity does not depend on its success, nor even on the survival of the adventurer.

قُدْسِيَّةُ الْمُغَامَرَةِ غَيْرُ مَبْنِيَّةٍ عَلَى نَتَائِجِهَا الْمُبَاشِرَةْ. الْمُغَامَرَةُ مُقَدَّسَةٌ بِسَبَبِ التَّغْيِيرَاتِ اللَّتِي تُسَبِّبُهَا فِي الْكَوْنْ, {تَأْثِيرُ الْفَرَاشَةْ}, فَبِذَلِكَ لَا تَعْتَمِدُ قُدْسِيَّتُهَا عَلَى نَجَاحِهَا, وَلَا حَتَّى عَلَى نَجَاةِ الْمُغَامِرْ.

Jupiter's moon Io, Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM).

This infrared image of the southern hemisphere of Jupiter's moon Io was taken at a distance of about 470,000 kilometers by the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft on Dec. 16, 2017.

In this infrared image, the brighter the color the higher the temperature recorded by JIRAM. The heat comes from an immense amount of volcanic activity on Io.

رَبَّاهُ قَدْ تَكَدَّرَتْ نَفْسِي مِمَّا كَتَبْتَ لَهَا,,, وَانَا رَاضٍ بِكُلِّ مَا هُوَ يُكَدِّرُ. لِأَنَّنِي أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لَكَ فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ حِكْمَةً,,, وَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ سِوَاكَ مَنْ يُيَسِّرُ.

The northern hemisphere of Jupiter, NASA's Juno spacecraft.

This image captures a close-up view of a storm with bright cloud tops in the northern hemisphere of Jupiter. NASA's Juno spacecraft took this color-enhanced image on Feb. 7, during its 11th close flyby of the gas giant planet. At the time, the spacecraft was 12,195 kilometers from the tops of Jupiter's clouds at 49.2 degrees north latitude.

Planet Saturn’s rings, The Cassini–Huygens space-research mission.

Shades of purple, primarily over most of the inner ring (ring B) and the inner portion of the next ring (ring A), indicate regions where there is a lack of particles less than 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) in diameter. Green and blue shades indicate regions where there are particles of sizes smaller than 5 centimeters (2 inches) and 1 centimeter (less than one third of an inch), respectively, primarily in outer ring A and within most of ring C. From other evidence in the radio observations, all ring regions appear to be populated by a broad range of particle size distribution that extends to boulder sizes (several to many meters across).

Willful Disorientation.

The phone rings...

“Hello... I got lost, I’m sorry.”

He hangs up, and starts mumbling:

I got lost in the darkness of those cursed roads that lead to your house. I got lost intentionally. I remember the roads. I remember the darkness. I remember the ominous birds, on those dry, dead branches. I remember the uneasiness I would feel. I remember it all, but now I choose to forget... I choose to forget you.

Saturn’s north pole, NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

The spinning vortex of Saturn's north polar storm, resembles a deep red rose of giant proportions, surrounded by green foliage, in this image from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. Measurements have sized the eye at a staggering 2,000 kilometers across, with cloud speeds as fast as 150 meters per second.
