These three bright nebulae are often featured on telescopic tours of the constellation #sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large #nebula above center, and colorful M20 below and left in the frame. The third emission region includes NGC 6559, right of M8 and separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane.

All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant. Over a hundred light-years across the expansive M8 is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20's popular moniker is the Trifid. Glowing hydrogen gas creates the dominant red color of the emission nebulae. But for striking contrast, blue hues in the Trifid are due to dust reflected starlight. The broad interstellar skyscape spans almost 4 degrees or 8 full moons on the sky.

A Sagittarius Triplet ✨️✨️✨️

On the night of December 15, the Full Moon was bright. Known to some as the Cold Moon or the Long Night Moon, it was the closest Full Moon to the northern winter solstice and the last Full Moon of 2024. This Full Moon was also at a major lunar standstill. A major lunar standstill is an extreme in the monthly north-south range of moonrise and moonset caused by the precession of the Moon's orbit over an 18.6 year cycle. As a result, the full lunar phase was near the Moon's northernmost moonrise (and moonset) along the horizon.

December's Full Moon is rising in this stacked image, a composite of exposures recording the range of brightness visible to the eye on the northern winter night. Along with a colorful lunar corona and aircraft contrail this Long Night Moon shines in a cold sky above the rugged, snowy peaks of the Italian Dolomites.

Why is there a huge eye in the #sky? Diamond dust. That is an informal term for small ice crystals that form in the air and flitter to the ground. Because these crystals are geometrically shaped, they can together reflect light from the #sun or #moon to your eyes in a systematic way, causing huge halos and unusual arcs to appear. And sometimes, together the result can seem like a giant eye looking right back at you.

In this  image taken in the Ore #mountains of the Czech Republic last week, a bright Moon rising through ice fog-filled air resulted in many of these magnificent sky illusions to be visible simultaneously. Besides Moon dogs, tangent arcs, halos, and a parhelic circle, light pillars above distant #lights are visible on the far left, while Jupiter and Mars can be found just inside the bottom of the 22-degree halo.

It was December and the sky lit up like a Christmas tree. Shimmering, the vivid green, blue, and purple auroral colors that formed the tree-like apparition were caused by high atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen reacting to a burst of incoming electrons. Collisions caused the orbital electrons of atoms and molecules to jump into excited #energy states and emit visible light when returning to their normal state.

This image was captured in Djúpivogur, Iceland during the last month of 2023. Our Sun is currently in its most energetic phase of its 11-year cycle, with its high number of active regions and sunspots likely to last into next year. Of course, the Sun has been near solar maximum during this entire year, with its outbursts sometimes resulting in spectacular Earthly auroras.

Did you know about?

Daily life as research student

Los sprites or red sprites are large-scale electrical discharges that are produced in the mesosphere, much more than storm clouds or cumulonimbus, giving place to a variety of visual forms that flicker in the night sky. 

Generally, they are triggered by discharges of positive rays between a storm cloud and the ground.

Could this be evidence of something extraordinary, or is there a simpler explanation? What are your thoughts? 🤔#space #ufo #scifi #science

Do these resemble a Dyson Sphere or advanced technology?

Have you ever seen the Pleiades star cluster? Even if you have, you probably have never seen it as large and clear as this. Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the bright #stars of the Pleiades can be seen with the unaided eye even from the depths of a light-polluted city. With a long exposure from a dark location, though, the dust #clouds surrounding the Pleiades star cluster becomes very evident.

This 23-hour exposure, taken from Fagagna, Italy covers a sky area several times the size of the full moon. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45, the Pleiades lies about 400 light years away toward the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). A common legend with a modern twist is that one of the brighter stars faded since the cluster was named, leaving only six of the sister stars visible to the unaided eye. The actual number of Pleiades stars visible, however, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding #sky and the clarity of the observer's eyesight.

What excites the Heart Nebula? First, the large emission nebula on the upper left, catalogued as IC 1805, looks somewhat like a human heart. The #nebula glows brightly in red light emitted by its most prominent element, hydrogen, but this long-exposure image was also blended with light emitted by sulfur (yellow) and oxygen (blue).

In the center of the Heart Nebula are young #stars from the open star cluster Melotte 15 that are eroding away several picturesque dust pillars with their atom-exciting energetic light and winds. The Heart Nebula is located about 7,500 light years away toward the constellation of Cassiopeia. This wide field image shows much more, though, including the Fishhead Nebula just below the Heart, a #supernova remnant on the lower left, and three planetary nebulas on the image right. Taken over 57 nights, this image is so deep, though, that it clearly shows fainter long and complex filaments.

Zoom in on images for finer details.

Anybody got some interesting space facts? :)

SPACE FACTS!!

These "safety measures" that really work in a real world scenario...

💡

This is Hallucigenia, a creature that existed during the Cambrian Period approximately 541– 485 million years ago :] It grew up to about 5 centimeters long (just a little guy ^^)! When scientists first discovered the fossils for this animal, they couldn't tell which side was up, which was down, nor what end was the head.
The original theory for how it moved around was that it walked on its spikes like stilts with the tentacles on its back used to collect any food particles that passed by. As silly as that sounds, this was widely accepted and believed for decades until new fossils were discovered which redirected scientists' attention back to this crazy specimen. The finalized theory was that the spikes on its back were meant to defend from predators and it walked on its long(er) tendrils which had little claws on the ends of them :D Its mouth was located on the underside of its head with rows of teeth lining the inside and even down its throat to prevent anything from coming back up :] I should also note that jaws hadn't evolved yet, so mouths were pretty much just gaping holes lined with sharp teeth lol 
Anyway I made this edit a long while ago, and I wanted to share it here ^^

Fun fact!

What do the following things have in common: a cone, the fur of a fox, and a Christmas tree? Answer: they all occur in the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros). Considered as a star forming region and cataloged as NGC 2264, the complex jumble of cosmic gas and dust is about 2,700 light-years distant and mixes reddish emission nebulae excited by energetic light from newborn #stars with dark interstellar dust #clouds.

This image spans an angle larger than a full #moon, covering over 50 light-years at the distance of NGC 2264. Its cast of cosmic characters includes the Fox Fur Nebula, whose convoluted pelt lies just to the left of the image center, bright variable star S Mon visible just to the right of the Fox Fur, and the Cone Nebula near the image top. With the Cone Nebula at the peak, the shape of the general glow of the region give it the nickname of the #christmas Tree Cluster, where stars are tree ornaments.

The Heartitation Practice
To connect you with the essence of ALL there is 

A major practice that most people have been believing in is the meditation, which stresses on focusing on the absence of what isn't ( which are thoughts, ego, false identities etc. ). The heartitation does just the opposite: to directly bring out what is (love, connection, unity). For hundreds or even thousands of years people have been following the meditation practice. But time has arrived when people are ready to carry out the heartitaion practice, which does what the meditation does more directly, more clearly, and more consistently, with more power. 

The practice is just as simple:

1. Intend clearly and firmly to open your heart.

2. Make sure that your body gesture mirrors that intention: chest open, out, shoulders back. People who can't do the open-chest gesture successfully for now will gradually open up their chest more and more spontaneously as they keep on the heartitaion practice everyday.

3. Intend clearly and firmly to connect with your heart.

4. Imagine, feel and focus on this connection with your heart in all ways. 

Important Note 1. Make sure the above-mentioned steps are done in ALL situations, from the easiest to the harder ones. 

Important Note 2. In the presence of any negative emotion, especially strong ones, priorize feeling those emotions physically and openly for how ever long it takes (generally about 90 seconds) for then to be fully and completely felt in the BODY for you to be rebalanced. Then continue with the heartitaion practice.

Important Note 3. A huge difference between the meditation practice and the heartitaion practice is that most people practice meditation as sessions separate from their daily "normal" life, while the heartitaion is to be practiced at all moments during the day as long as there are no negative emotions that you need to process following the procedure in Note 2.

Important Note 4. All four steps are equally important in this practice. In the beginning you might find this practice somehow effortful or you could often forget doing it during the day, but as you keep on practicing it will become your first nature, when you also will become a changed person.

Tips: 1. Accompany this practice with some chest muscle expanding exercises would help! 

2. Play some heart warm, loving music! Anything that makes me you feel love and warmth. 

3. Don't be serious! You can dance, jump, laugh, smile when doing this practice! Do whatever that feels good for you! Follow your true intuition!! 

Many people shall find the heartitaion practice much easier than the meditation as the former is much more physical, tangible than the later which mostly requires you to be physically and mentally still that can often cut you off the outer world, while the heartitaion practice encourages you to interact with the outerworld as much as you need to without withdrawal, which is also how this practice can help you progress spiritually. See the meditation as being still and quiet and the heartitation as being dancy, dynamic, energetic, rhythmical. 

If there's any question you have, turn to the practice, where you will find an answer. 

Best wishes for your practicing!!!
