Happy birthday to American #astronomer Henrietta Swan Leavitt (1868-1921) who set the scale of our Universe. In her day, women scientists were regularly hired to do menial chores like counting images on photographic plates as a "computer". In studying these plates, in 1908 she was able to deduce a ground-breaking theory, which allowed Hubble's later insight about the age and expansion of the universe.

When we did our #podcast episode on the #constellation #Taurus, we briefly discussed, the #Pleiades, but they were outshined by the Crab Nebula... but now we've given the Pleiades their due!

when we have breaks in new content, I like to do posts highlighting older episodes.

Today, a reminder that we did 3 episodes on the (listen here: https://starrytimepodcast.com/episodes) & also this incredible image from , , and of Cassiopeia A -- a supernova remnant!

Obligatory Firework Nebula!

This is a composite image of the classical nova remnant GK Persei located 1,530 LY away in the #constellation Perseus (which we'll be covering in the upcoming season 2 of our podcast).

We have a new #podcast episode coming out tomorrow! But, in the meantime, here's a throwback to a deep sky object in the #constellation #Gemini (covered here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/gemini-the-twins/)

This is the Jellyfish Nebula (IC 443)!

We've talked 🔭 #astronomy, we've talked 📚 #mythology, which means tomorrow is time to get silly and talk about the #PopCulture of the #constellation #Orion!

Our #PopCulture episode on the #constellation of #Orion is out now!

Have a listen, tell a friend, & let us know whose wished-for use of Orion is best!

Here's NGC 891 aka Caldwell 23 -- another galaxy (that isn't the famous galaxy) in the #Andromeda #constellation.

Below, we see this unbarred galaxy on its edge!

The Andromeda Galaxy obvi gets all the attention for deep-sky objects in the #constellation #Andromeda (including in our most recent #podcast), but I also appreciate NGC 7662 aka Blue Snowball Nebula!

This planetary nebula is located ~2500 LY from earth!

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.

Gaia is metal.

🚨 We're back tomorrow AM with our (aka Cosmic Background) episode on the Auriga: The Charioteer!

So -- what's this one look like to y'all?? Are you able to make out a Charioteer (or does it look like another constellation guy we've discussed this season... 🙃 )

Do you love this ? Do you ever think, wow, Orion must've been such a cool guy? I wish I knew what kind of cool heroics he performed?

Well, I have good news & and I have bad news....🧵 1/3
