    The Heart and Soul Nebulas

    ldm9ytb4mcqi.jpg

    Is the heart and soul of our Galaxy located in Cassiopeia? Possibly not, but that is where two bright emission nebulas nicknamed Heart and Soul can be found. The Heart Nebula, officially dubbed IC 1805 and visible in the featured image on the bottom right, has a shape reminiscent of a classical heart symbol. The Soul Nebula is officially designated IC 1871 and is visible on the upper left.

    Both nebulas shine brightly in the red light of energized hydrogen. Also shown in this three-color montage is light emitted from sulfur, shown in yellow, and oxygen, shown in blue. Several young open clusters of stars are visible near the nebula centers. Light takes about 6,000 years to reach us from these nebulas, which together span roughly 300 light years. Studies of stars and clusters like those found in the Heart and Soul Nebulas have focused on how massive stars form and how they affect their environment.

    <3 and soul. :)

    The Eskimo Nebula from Hubble

    q7rer16ch7ta.jpg

    In 1787, astronomer William Herschel discovered the Eskimo Nebula. From the ground, NGC 2392 resembles a person's head surrounded by a parka hood. In 2000, the Hubble Space Telescope imaged the Eskimo Nebula. From space, the nebula displays gas clouds so complex they are not fully understood.

    The Eskimo Nebula is clearly a planetary nebula, and the gas seen above composed the outer layers of a Sun-like star only 10,000 years ago. The inner filaments visible above are being ejected by strong wind of particles from the central star. The outer disk contains unusual light-year long orange filaments.

    We got brain. :D

    Lunar Eclipse over Cologne Cathedral

    9b6hoc0j9wlm.jpg

    Why would a bright full Moon suddenly become dark? Because it entered the shadow of the Earth. That's what happened Sunday night as the Moon underwent a total lunar eclipse. Dubbed by some as a Super (because the Moon was angularly larger than usual, at least slightly) Blood (because the scattering of sunlight through the Earth's atmosphere makes an eclipsed Moon appeared unusually red) Wolf (because January full moons are sometimes called Wolf Moons from the legend that wolves like to howl at the moon) Moon Eclipse, the shadowy spectacle was visible from the half of the Earth then facing the Moon, and was captured in numerous spectacular photographs.

    Featured, a notable image sequence was captured over the Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Cologne, Germany. The lunar eclipse sequence was composed from 68 different exposures captured over three hours during freezing temperatures -- and later digitally combined and edited to remove a cyclist and a pedestrian. The next total lunar eclipse will occur in 2021.

    This is a Hubble Space Telescope mosaic of a portion of the immense Coma cluster of over 1,000 galaxies, located 300 million light-years from Earth.
    Hubble's incredible sharpness was used to do a comprehensive census of the cluster's most diminutive members: a whopping 22,426 globular star clusters.
    Among the earliest homesteaders of the universe, globular star clusters are snow-globe-shaped islands of several hundred thousand ancient stars.
    The survey found the globular clusters scattered in the space between the galaxies.
    They have been orphaned from their home galaxies through galaxy tidal interactions within the bustling cluster.
    Astronomers will use the globular cluster field for mapping the distribution of matter and dark matter in the Coma galaxy cluster.

    I was watching this show yesterday that people were saying in the future we are going to move to Mars .
    The big asteroid is coming and will destroy mankind .
    They are also building a "Space Force" .
    Do you really think it's possible to move to mars ?

    Eh, this isn't a new idea though, and not a bad one either.

    If this was to really happen . Then it would only be the super rich people .

    Mars or space force?

    Mars .

    A Space force is a military branch From what I heard and read .

    Netflix's new series will see Steve Carell reunite with The Office co-creator Greg Daniels, and if you thought things could get wild at Dunder Mifflin, that’s nothing compared to the premise of the new show. Like The Office, it will be about co-workers on the job, but they’re working at one of the strangest, silliest, and most absurd real-life ideas in recent memory: the Space Force.
