The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion’s Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. Credit: NASA/ESA & Hubble
Tonight in Star Gazing in the Park Photo credit JWEBB Milky Way, interstellar medium Swirling ribands of dust form ribands due to gravitational, electric and tidal forces which inhabit the spaces between stars. Typically invisible this image was brought to you by the light of Zeta Ophiuchi
This image shows the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 & NGC 4039), 60 million light-years away in Corvus. These galaxies are in the process of merging, creating tidal tails and bursts of star formation from their gravitational interaction. Photo Credit: Robert Gendler
Billions of years from now, only one galaxy will remain as spiral galaxies NGC 2207 (right) and IC 2163 (left) slowly merge. This composite of Hubble and Webb images shows their recent encounter, triggering star formation and tidal streams. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI
This infrared image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ.of Ariz.
The Milky Way above the Ring of Brodgar, on Orkney. In an otherwise clear sky, it was "disappointing" to have that band of cloud that just didn't want to disperse. The bright light on the clouds is from the town of Stromness, where we had docked a few hours earlier. #Photography

JWST peers deep into space, taking a snapshot of over 20,000 galaxies, some whose light comes to us from over 12 billion light-years away. This image was presented today on AAS Nova.

Three years ago, at the urging of my dying mother, I purchased my very first camera and commenced my photography journey. After countless videos and articles on how to everything Canon R5 it has been worth it. A few of my favorite landscapes from year 3 #photography #canonusa #landscapephotography
Tonight in stargazing OH 231.8+04.2- The Rotten Egg Nebula Constellation Puppis Distance 5,000 light years Discovered by William Herschel 1786 Length 1.4 light years Named after its high sulfur content it's a star of similar size as our sun but in its early stages of planetary nebula formation
