Well, isn’t that lovely: our JWST image of the inner Orion Nebula & Trapezium Cluster is today’s Astronomy Picture of the Day 🖖🙂🤘
Thanks to everyone who’s sharing the images & don’t forget that you can download them at full resolution under a CC BY-SA licence via the link in the next toot 👇
At 1:47 a.m. EST (6:47 UTC) on Nov. 16, 2022, #NASA’s #Orion#spacecraft launched atop the #Space Launch System (#SLS) rocket from historic Launch Pad 39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on a path to the #Moon, officially beginning the Artemis I mission.
This is my first attempt at a meteor shower composite! I stuck my DSLR outside with a 14mm lens on and let it run for several hours capturing 12 second exposures and then waiting 20 seconds. I'm going to try again tonight shooting continuously on a higher ISO and really focusing my exposures on the peak meteor time between 1 and 2am.
As a fan of Kagi Search, I gave Kagi's Orion Browser a try. It's built on Safari's tech, but the ideology is closer to Firefox. Supporting BOTH Chrome and Firefox extensions is a huge win.
My initial impressions of the "public beta" is that it still has a lot of work. Few extensions fully work, ie 1Password doesn't work at all. DOM performance was dramatically worse than Chrome (82 vs 133 on speeDOMeter). Hopefully it continues to improve, but it has a long path ahead. #kagi#orion#browsers
Astronomers used JWST to study molecules in a protoplanetary disk in the Orion Nebula to follow the destruction and replenishment of water. Planet-forming disks are places of chaotic activity. Not only do planetesimals slam together to form larger worlds, but it now appears that the process involves the destructive recycling of...
Nach Streamingdienst und PAY-TV kommt die "Raumpatrouille" demnächst nun auch ins Free-TV!
Der ARD-Spartenkanal ONE zeigt ab 18. Mai 2024 jeweils 2 mal:
Den 2003er "Rücksturz ins Kino" - Film (RORIK)
und unter dem Motto
"Fernsehschätze - Premiere HD-Fassung"
die 7 Folgen von 1966
My telescope was in auto-tracking mode and the exposure time was 4 minutes with the default Pixel Camera app.
I am astonished by this photo! You can see freaking color! COLOR! I only tuned down the gamma a bit but that's all of the editing I've done. Here is another unedited photo with a 20mm eyepiece:
I was soooo surprised to see this coming out of the phone :D - damn so fucking cool! 1.3 thousand light years away, stars forming.....so beautiful....so mindblowing!
The #GlobeAtNight campaign for March 2024 will run from March 1-10. We urgently need people from around the world to look for #Orion in the sky, and report back what it looks like here: https://globeatnight.org/
Please share with your networks, including off Mastodon!
NASA just(?) released a recording from inside Orion while reentering from Artemis 1! - The full 25 minutes!!! :nkoWhoaa: 🚀 :nasa: :esa: :ablobcatbongo:
