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 👇
🛰️🌑 Le module de service #ESM fournit par l’ESA du vaisseau #Orion de la mission #Artemis 2 a terminé son inspection finale des couches isolantes extérieures.
Ce module servira à propulser 4 astronautes d'une orbite basse vers la #Lune puis à revenir sur Terre fin 2024
🛰️🌑 Au centre Kennedy, les tests du vaisseau #Orion d’ #Artemis2 ont commencé avec les premiers essais électriques depuis le couplage entre la capsule et le module de service

Since we're talking all about the #mythology of the #constellation#Orion this week, I started thinking more about scorpions (one of the ways this "hero" died)
And, I learned about this creature: Pulmonoscorpius -- an extinct scorpion that was about 28" long.
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!
Смонтировал первое видео с гитарой в #Olive 0.2. Кеширование работает гораздо лучше, чем в 0.1, предпросмотр плавный. Несмотря на периодические падения эта версия сильно упощает работу, если проект большой. Если мышкой не шебутить, понимать, что собираешься делать и часто сохраняться, то пользоваться можно🌿
If you look at the Orion constellation there are the distinctive stars forming the belt and sword in the centre. The middle “star” of the sword is actually the Orion Nebula - M42. This is that nebula. One of the brightest it is also the closest star forming region to earth. This is a composite of 290x10s shots stacked from last night #ZWO#SeestarS50#Aberdeenshire#Scotland#Orion#Astro
Shot IC434 (Horsehead) & M42 (Orion) in one frame, 2 sets. The first set is meh, got walking noise and that’s a thing. The second set I’ve fixed it (kinda) but the sky wasn’t clear and shooting with a full moon .. is… interesting. <insert loads of tech nerd stuff here>. But I still kinda managed it in post processing so here we are. #astrophotography#orion#horseheadnebula
Have a listen, tell a friend, & let us know whose wished-for use of Orion is best!

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...
