NEW #Astrophoto: Moon, 04/30/2025
As so often, this photo of the Moon was also taken at the edge of a deep-sky session-this time, for a change, with a rather thin crescent.

M1: The Incredible Expanding Crab
M1, the Crab #Nebula, is a supernova remnant 6,500 light-years away in Taurus. Witnessed in 1054, it spans 10 light-years and expands at 1,500 km/s. #Hubble (2005) and #Webb (2023) images show its growth.

NEW #Astrophoto: Messier 97
In March, I added luminance data to my Messier 97 OSC RGB image from 2023. I think the result is quite impressive.

Young Star Cluster NGC 346
NGC 346, a massive young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud, is 210,000 light-years away. Its stars shape their surrounding nebula and trigger new star formation. This James #Webb Space #Telescope #infrared image shows the region's vibrant colors across 240 light-years.

The big sunspot region continues to rotate into view! Today I was able to see it with my eclipse glasses, which is always neat. I'll definitely assemble a little animation with all of the images I capture because this one is easy to track.

#Saturn's Rings Appear to Disappear
In 1610, Galileo mistook Saturn's rings for "ears" using a new #telescope. By 1612, the rings vanished from view due to #Earth's perspective. This cycle repeats every 15 years with Saturn's seasonal tilt. A photo comparison from Brazil illustrates this: clear rings in 2020, barely visible in 2025.

IC 418: The Spirograph #Nebula
The Spirograph Nebula (IC 418) displays mysterious patterns possibly due to its central star's chaotic winds. Once like our Sun, it evolved from a red giant to shedding its outer layers, leaving a core that will become a white dwarf. Located 2000 light-years away, this #Hubble image captures its enigmatic glow.
