Beautiful Picture Taken by our participants ekansh tardeja in our Recent stargazing event in Pune. 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩-𝐒𝐤𝐲 𝐎𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐈𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 (𝐌𝟒𝟐) - Also known as Messier 42, the Orion Nebula can be seen with the naked eye south of Orion’s Belt, which is made up of the stars Mintaka, Alnitak, and Alnilam. 𝐁𝟎𝟑𝟑 (𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚) 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 - Also known as Barnard 33, after the astronomer E. E. Barnard, the Horsehead Nebula is a dark nebula that is obscuring light coming from behind it. 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝’𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐩 - Barnard’s Loop forms a major component of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex and appears to be centered on the Orion Nebula, whose stars are believed to be ionizing the Loop-like structure. 𝐌𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟖 (𝐌𝟕𝟖, 𝐍𝐆𝐂 𝟐𝟎𝟔𝟖) - M78 is the most luminous of a group of reflection nebula that includes the nebulae NGC 2064, NGC 2067, and NGC 2071 which all form parts of the much bigger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex. 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 - As the name implies, this reflection nebula associated with the star Rigel looks suspiciously like a fairytale crone. Formally known as IC 2118 in the constellation Orion, the Witch Head Nebula glows primarily by light reflected from the star. 𝐑𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 - The Running Man Nebula - NGC 1977 or Sh2-279 - is a reflection nebula that can be found in the Orion constellation, 1,460 lightyears away. It's located along the sword of Orion, north of the Orion Nebula, and is known as the Running Man Nebula because many observers think it bears a resemblance to a human figure running with its arms in motion. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚 - The Flame Nebula is a bright emission nebula located 900 – 1,500 light-years away in the constellation Orion, the Hunter.  #Nebula #astrophotography #deepsky #orionnebula  #FlameNebula #RunningManNebula #Messier78 #astronomy #longexposure #nightsky #nightphotography #amateurastrophotography #astrophoto #FlameNebula #horseheadnebula

Our Milky Way Galaxy as seen from Robe, South Australia. This is a two-shots stitched panorama, with 20 seconds exposures. 20 seconds is a very short time relative to the Earth daily rotation of 86,400 seconds, and even slightly longer exposures will produce visible star traces. The trick in Astronomy photography is to use the best lenses with lowest F-stop so that maximum amount of light can be let in, yet preserving sharpness despite the minimum depth of field. It goes without saying that the camera has to be equal or better quality.

Here is a detailed discussion of spy satellites, espionage from space, how nations spy on each other, and the magnitude of the resources needed to run a Top Secret program such as this. It needs to be mentioned that modern spy satellites still do this task, but while they are more technologically sophisticated in the modern day, they are more dense, and some are just as large as this, and curiously, the downlink stations have changed very little over the decades.

🌌👽 The Fermi Paradox: 7 Theories on the Elusive Extraterrestrials 🤔🚀 The cosmos, vast and mysterious, has long captured our imaginations. Yet, the question lingers: Where are all the aliens? Here, we explore seven intriguing theories that attempt to shed light on this cosmic conundrum. From the Great Filter to the Zoo Hypothesis, each theory offers a unique perspective on the enigma of the missing extraterrestrial civilizations. 🛸💫 The Great Filter: Could there be a cosmic roadblock that prevents intelligent life from evolving to advanced stages? Rare Earth: Perhaps our planet is exceptionally unique in its ability to support life. Self-Destruction: Do advanced civilizations tend to self-destruct before they can contact others? The Cosmic Zoo: Are we being observed without our knowledge by more advanced beings? The Interstellar Internet: Maybe they're out there, but we're just not looking in the right way. They're Among Us: Could aliens be living among us in a way we can't perceive? We're the First: Is it possible that we're the pioneers in the cosmos, with others yet to emerge? Join the discussion and share your thoughts on these captivating theories! 🌠💬 #FermiParadox #ExtraterrestrialEnigma #CosmicMysteries#astronomy #space #milkyway #astrophotography #astronomyphotography #astronomylover #astronomynerd https://lnkd.in/eiQCcmYa

Stargazers are in for a treat this week as a rare blue #supermoon graces the night sky. On Monday night into Tuesday morning, the moon will appear about a seventh bigger and brighter due to the coinciding blue moon and supermoon. What is a supermoon? The moon's orbit around Earth isn't a perfect circle, which means there's a point where it's closest to Earth, known as the perigee. Normally, the moon is about 384,000 km away, but on Monday night, it will be 23,000 km closer, making it appear significantly larger and brighter in the sky.

This stunning image, composed of several photographs taken just over a year ago on the island of Soneva Fushi, Maldives, reveals an unusual combination of colors. The image shows the almost vertical descent of the full moon, which occurs because the observer is near the Earth's equator. As the moon approaches the horizon, the air and aerosols in the Earth's atmosphere preferentially scatter blue light, causing the moon, which reflects the reddish sun, to appear red. An even more unusual aspect is the blue light on the beach, emitted by bioluminescent plankton. These tiny creatures emit a blue light to surprise and deter predators. In this case, the blue light is the result of waves containing plankton breaking on the shore. #astronomy #photographychallengechallenge — in New York, NY.
