#Bloomscrolling: cosmos edition

Meet the Lion Nebula, released by the Just Wonderful Space Telescope this week. The centre sparkle is a star, in the middle of a spectacular death, which started 10,000 yrs ago, when it began flinging material into space 🤩🔭🧪

📷: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, A. Pagan
A black background of space is spotted with tiny red-galaxies, with a huge puffy-pink sphere at its centre. It's a perfectly circular nebula. It reminds me of a jelly fish, but at its very centre it's more like a sparkling fairy godmother eye-of-Sauron blend... that is the star still in the process of its spectacular death.

I didn't stay up all night watching meteors on 8/11-12, but my modified Sony Alpha 7 III did. It caught the final one when rosy-fingered dawn came bright and early. #astrophotography
a blue sky with many stars still visible contains a few wispy clouds. A fringe of color on the horizon marks the start of dawn. in the foreground are trees and houses, reflected on a lake. a colorful meteor streaks in the upper right, defying the coming light.

I had some SHO data from last year that I went back and reprocessed.

This is about 15 hours of data, taken with a ZWO 294MM and 80ED doublet. Processed in Siril, Gimp, Graxpert. Forgive me my purple stars. #astrophotography

My first sighting of noctilucent clouds from #Potsdam this year.
Noctilucent clouds form at altitudes of about 80 km and consist of ice crystals. During the weeks around the summer solstice, they can be spotted from locations north of about 48 degrees latitude.
Noctilucent clouds seen low over a forested horizon. Also, a TV tower with red lights and some stars are seen in this nighttime scene.

Four worlds and one Moon in a single twilight sky. Venus, Jupiter, a delicate waxing crescent Moon, and elusive Mercury gathered above Pasadena this evening. Even during a week spent talking about the cosmos at #AAS248, the 248th Meeting of the @aas.org, it’s worth pausing to look up. 🌙🪐🔭🧪
