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!
Apple TV+ released the first trailer for its upcoming sci-fi limited series Constellation which has some auspices that are sure to excite genre TV fans....
Have a listen, tell a friend, & let us know whose wished-for use of Orion is best!
Jordan: Orion O'Neal - Future NBA Superstar, somehow related to Shaq
Kit: Orion's Belts - specialty belt store
BoP: O'Rion's -- a sitcom about O'Rion with a theme song based on the O'reilly (not sponsored) jingle
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.
I am musing about my theme for this year's A to Z Blogging Challenge.
I have been consistently failing a Constellation Myths plan year after year... might be time to actually do it this time. I want to do constellation myths outside of the ones everyone knows... ✨
Neat "zoom-in" on the Horsehead Nebula in the #constellation#Orion (check out our latest #podcast episode for more on the #astronomy of this constellation!)
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!
In honor of October (spooky season🎃 !) & our newest #podcast episode on the #astronomy of the #constellation#Cepheus -- here is this ghosty reflection nebula VdB 152 aka Ced 201 located 1400 LY away in the Cepheus!
Even though the whole #Constellation arc in #Starfield is a lazily conceived and generally poorly written Chosen One trope, it has its moments towards the end, largely as a result of riffing on the alternate realities level of Dishonored 2 (necessarily more clumsily since they’re using their creaky engine).
Anyway, there’s a ton of content outside this arc that is mostly great. Despite “finishing” a lot of the plot, I haven’t done at least one major arc and haven’t built a working outpost.
Be sure to check out our last episode if you want to go on an exploration into the #astronomy (& learn about Tycho Brahe, a man who: lost his nose in a duel about who was a better scientist, had a pet elk or, maybe, moose, and who died bc he didn't want to break the seal): https://starrytimepodcast.com/episodes
