Wanted to see what a full frame camera could capture of the night sky from a dark park in the middle of a heavily light polluted town. It didn't help that a waxing gibbous moon was in the night sky just to the left of the frame.

Not as impressive as the #MilkyWay shots which I've seen from many of you, like https://mastodon.art/@Billthoo/111355306490219243 from @Billthoo, but I'm impressed to have been able to shoot this from the middle of a town! You can JUST about see it!

#LifeByStills #Photography #Astrophotography

A test photograph to see how a full frame camera would render the Milky Way from a middle of a town where light pollution is rife.

The photograph exhibits blown out highlights from the low clouds reflecting the lights from the town, but the galactic core becomes more, but still faintly, visible as one looks further up the frame, where the sky gradually gets darker.

Speaking of #Sagittarius 🏹

Here's an image from #Chandra of the Milky Way's galactic center (which is in the constellation Sagittarius some 26,000 LY away)!

📷 : https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2023/archives/index.html

#Astrodon #Astronomy #Space #Science #NASA #MilkyWay #Galaxy #science

Adapted from link in toot: This image is titled Galactic Center. Here, the center of the Milky Way galaxy resembles a pink, orange, red, and purple cloud, dotted with several brilliant orbs of light. Surrounding the cloud is a dense field of purple, orange, red, and pale blue specks that entirely blankets the sky. In this image, orange, blue, and purple represent X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory.

New #JWST image of the star-forming region Sagittarius C. It's about 300 light-years from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

The galactic center is a truly bizarre place. It's filled with turbulent, dense, magnetized gas clouds that are forming stars. There are also clusters of massive young stars that impact their environment with outflowing winds, jets, and high-energy light.

A funnel-shaped region of space appears darker than its surroundings with fewer stars. It is wider at the top edge of the image, narrowing towards the bottom. Toward the narrow end of this dark region a small clump of red and white appears to shoot out streamers upward and left. A large, bright cyan-colored area surrounds the lower portion of the funnel-shaped dark area, forming a rough U shape. The cyan-colored area has needle-like, linear structures and becomes more diffuse in the center of the image. The right side of the image is dominated by clouds of orange and red, with a purple haze.

The majority of massive disk galaxies in the local Universe show a stellar barred structure in their central regions, including our Milky Way.

Bars are supposed to develop in dynamically cold stellar disks at low redshift [..].

Here we report observations of ceers-2112, a barred spiral galaxy at redshift [of] 3 [..].

The stellar mass [..] and barred morphology mean that ceers-2112 can be considered a progenitor of the Milky Way [..].

Don't worry, the laser was set to "stun", the black hole is ok 😎

#astrodon #astronomy #astrophotography #MilkyWay

A long-exposure night shot taken at an astronomical observatory under a starry sky. The are several huge cylindrical grey domes. The one in the foreground is shooting a yellow laser up to the sky. The laser is aimed at the centre of the Milky Way, which appears as a bright, somewhat orange band stretching diagonally across the sky, and divided longitudinally by dark clouds.

#SciArt is a human activity, but often #nature itself provides the brushes and pigments.

Last year the South African Radio #Astronomy Observatory released a stunning view of the core of the #MilkyWay captured by the MeerKAT radio #telescope

Here's my edited version, where the colours map the so-called spectral index, which tells us what causes the radio emission. Those filaments do look like brush strokes, don't they?

Press release: https://www.sarao.ac.za/media-releases/new-meerkat-radio-image-reveals-complex-heart-of-the-milky-way/

#astrodon #space #scicomm

A radio image of the central parts of the Milky Way. The image is tinted with orange, yellow, cyan and green pastel tones. There's a bright orange cloud dominating the scene at the center, with a myriad of bubbles and clouds extending horizontally at both sides. There are also thin filaments crossing the image vertically, like brush strokes.

At the bottom there's a colour bar mapping each colour from blue to orange to a quantity called spectral index.

The Milky Way's Mass is Much Lower Than We Thought

How massive is the Milky Way? According to a new study using data from ESA's Gaia spacecraft, less than we thought. A new estimate puts the Milky Way's mass at 200 billion times the mass of the Sun, which is 4-5 times less than previous estimates that pegged it closer to a trillion solar masses. Using detailed information about millions of stars, astronomers were able to build an extremely accurate rotation curve for the Milky Way and use that to estimate its mass. They found that the rotation of the Milky Way isn't typical for large spiral galaxies, decreasing its estimated mass.

Cows.. watching the Aurora…

While I was out wandering the country lanes at 2am, as you do, I came across this group of cows all facing north, at about the same time a rather spectacular outburst of Aurora occurred.. it was brief, and once it subsided, they moved away.

From the photographer: “Deep in the Indian Ocean, an emerald can be found. Not large, but truly natural and full of plants island called Thoddoo, Maldives. Proud locals produce their own fruit and vegetable, welcome the tourists with wide-open arms, and show them the importance of the true relationship to the natural heritage of the island, such as endangered turtles and other species. Unfortunately, the island itself is a source of light pollution and so it is not easy to find a good spot for stargazing. I was lucky to find one, from where I saw all the natural lights of the night. The rising Milky Way followed the captivating light of the bioluminescent plankton while a small meteor appeared in the sky, close to the Gegenschein. Even if the tourist ship turned on its bright light in the distance, still remember the best of the dark skies there.”

This is the very last #photo ever taken with the VIMOS instrument at ESO's Very Large #Telescope in #Chile, back in 2018. After I finished the decommissioning procedures that night, I decided to take one last image as a farewell, and this was the result.
