The Maiden is often depicted using a drop spindle, or just standing around benignly holding wheat. I have always thought that this constellation looked more like she was jumping for joy

日本歌姬丨中島美嘉首度襲港開騷 明年2月唱爆亞博
40歲日本歌姬 #中島美嘉,今(20日)晚在東京國際Forum舉行「MIKA NAKASHIMA CONCERT TOUR 2023 YOU」上,宣佈將於明年2月3日首度襲港開騷,假 #亞洲國際博覽館 舉行「MIKA NAKASHIMA CONCERT 2024 YOU IN HONG KONG」 #香港站演唱會。
2001年以演員和歌手身份出道的中島美嘉,首部日劇《#新宿傷痕戀歌》和單曲《STARS》大受歡迎,入行22年經歷高山低谷,推出多首hit歌,包括《#STARS》、《WILL》、《#雪の華》、《櫻花紛飛時》、《#NANA》主題曲《GLAMOROUS SKY》風靡亞洲,並曾為主演電影《NANA》來港宣傳,於2018年應邀參與香港亞洲流行音樂節。
中島美嘉在事業高峯期時,不幸患上了 #耳咽管開放症,經常出現耳鳴,舞法辨別外界聲音,甚至影響唱歌,最後更導致聲帶受損,「因為聽不到聲音就開始胡亂的用嗓子,到最後連聲音都發不出來...

In this place- Greece- they are trying to put the National Observatory under some stupid administrative ministerial madness, from a state of autonomous operation that is now. Seriously, I am not fully aware of the issue, but after Elon Musk, we will also have to ask permission from greek ministers to watch the stars?

An article published in the journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics" reports the discovery of an object that could be a gas giant planet or a brown dwarf in the HIP 81208 system. A team of researchers analyzed data from the archive of the observations conducted with the SPHERE instrument mounted on the VLT in Chile discovering an object that was cataloged as HIP 81208 Cb orbiting the smaller of the two stars in this binary system.

Messier 16 is a popular target with astrophotographers because it is photogenic at any focal length. The famous Pillars of Creation show up right away and only get better with more exposure time. While this target only pops low over the horizon during the shortest nights of the year, the payoff is well worth it.

Quite an old photo (summer 2016) but still my favourite photo I've ever taken of the Milky Way. Taken at my parents' house in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany. I haven't been able to take a photo as good as this one since!
This is not a stacked photo but a rather simple long exposure taken with my old Canon 1100D and its kit lens.

16/09/2023 - After sunset visit to Ben Rinnes. Quiet on the hill. Wheatear still here and a couple of ptarmigan flew by. Lovely golden sunset and then a dark walk down. No moon so the stars were great. An autumn chill in the air, very different to last week. Temp was low single figures. With equinox in a few days time, the cold months are coming. A good trip.




Some shots of the Galactic Center I took up here in the gorgeous Berkshire Mountains. It was super fun putting all my new gadgets to work to get these shots! I’m super blown away at how much light this Sony 20mm f/1.8 G lens let’s in. These were shot at f/1.8, ISO 640, for 25 seconds. #photography #astrophotography #milkyway #galacticcenter #nightphotography #nightsky #stars #space #longexposure #night #galaxy #nature #cosmos #milkywaychasers #sonycamera #sonya7rv #sony20mmf18 #adobelightroom

A quotation from Dante Alighieri:
«
So now we entered on that hidden path,
my lord and I, to move once more towards
a shining world. We did not care to rest.
We climbed, he going first and I behind,
until through some small aperture I saw
the lovely things the skies above us bear.
Now we came out, and once more saw the stars.
»

Not the best orbit for spotting the International Space Station this evening so hiked to higher ground to see it go over.



Herbig-Haro 211, a bipolar jet travelling through interstellar #space at supersonic speeds.
At roughly 1000 light-years away from Earth, the object is one of the youngest and nearest #protostellar outflows.
Herbig-Haro objects are luminous regions surrounding newborn #stars, and are formed when stellar winds or jets of gas spewing from these newborn stars form shockwaves colliding with nearby gas and dust at high speeds.

With the new school year in full swing, this seems like an appropriate image to share. This old one-room school house stands in Harrison, Maine. I'm unable to find much history on it, but I do know it's been used both as a schoolhouse and a church, dating back to the mid 19th century. I made this image one crisp night. https://rickberk.pixels.com/featured/night-school-rick-berk.html

08/09/2023 - After sunset visit to Carn na Drochaide. Evening walk up the hill to see some stars. Warm and clear sky. Reached the top by sunset, we sat down for a rest and tea and waited for the dark. A good place to be. Nice dark walk back along the west side. Twilight turned to night. We stopped again and had a brew and played a bit with the cameras. The Milky Way was as good as I've seen. Last sunset walk of the week, a really good one to finish on.

Messing around with my smartphone camera, I better learn how, my digital camera isn't always available.
The streak in the night sky is a plane, the camera shutter is open for up to 30 seconds, to see this
Wrote a program to amplify stars in night photos. As far as I could tell there wasn't anything out there to do this - at least nothing open source. This detects the stars and then increases the brightness of only those pixels, leaving eveything else unaltered. Faint stars become brighter.

Was Glinda the Good Witch the first to put a star on the end of a wand?
An interesting paper on movement of #stars in the Milky Way based on #Gaia observations.
The authors show that the movement of stars is fully Keplerian up to distances of 26.5 kpc, with a decrease in rotational velocity as a function of distance.
So what happened to dark matter than makes the rotation profiles of similar nearby #galaxies flat?
For whom it may concern.

This is the only space painting I finished to the point of posting it, from 2020, depicting a stellar nursery.
I have no idea if it stands up, being an imagined scene using Hubble Space Telescope images, amongst others, as inspiration.

1. I see stars in the sky.
2. I absolutely love sitting on the front porch with my dog. She's super chill and just sits there with me with no inclination to leave the porch unless I tell her it's okay, even if I leave the porch.
3. Knowing the 10 hour version of Marconi Union's 'Weightless' will get me to sleep again tonight despite my overactive mind.

The light from the #stars travels for years (and years) until it reaches your eyes. This #interactive #map of the night sky shows you for each star what happened on Earth when the light started traveling from the star to you. That way, any star has a story to tell you. You can zoom in, move around and hover all the stars to reveal the historical events they are connected to.

'Magnetar' may sound like a super-villain name, but it's actually a very real kind of astronomical object: a super dense and highly magnetic dead star. We don't know exactly how magnetars form, but astronomers have just found a new kind of living star – a massive magnetic helium star – that will likely become a magnetar when it collapses and dies.

Update: actually it's just a satellite. :( See thread.
Well, I can't say I'm any great shakes at astrophotography, but I did manage to see 3 Perseid meteors and photograph 2, despite clouds, light pollution, and camera fumbles. I'll put this is the successfully documented category, but it's not a great photo. 35mm (very cropped) 15 sec., f1.4, ISO 200.
