Happy #Spring or #Autumn #Equinox to those who observe!

This month is my birthday & my art-iversary, so I painted the Virgo constellation to celebrate.

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

#mastoArt #Watercolor #SciArt #Space #Stars #Virgo #Zodiac #Fall

Watercolor says "Virgo" with Virgo symbol in shiny purple letters. The constellation is painted with shiny purple circles sized to show which ones are the bigger stars in the constellation & which are smaller. White lines connect the stars. The constellation almost looks like a person is 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...

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.

#EveningWalk #Stars #Hills #Trigpoint

View from our tea spot. We sat and watched the sun go down. Misty when we arrived on the top but not for long. The low sunlight lights the land far below. Big hills in the distance.
Sunlight gives the summit tor a lovely golden colour. Glen Rinnes below then beyond Corryhabbie Hill is Glen Fiddich.
After sunset. Photo of a tirgpoint painted white. One of us stands on the tor beyond.
The stars were good tonight. Milk Way showing well. Photo is not that sharp but good enough. I'm finding it tricky to get the focus OK on star shots. Good fun trying though.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

An illustration of a sweet large-eyed alien creature propelling itself upwards from a reddish planet, into a field of stars. Its arms are stretched wide as if it is somehow controlling everything around it. The odd coloured eyes (one blue/turquoise, one yellow/red) gazes out in a compelling and confident way. It has large ears, no mouth and pink feet. It is dappled in contrasting warm and cold colours. The creature is surrounded by shimmering white light that somehow emanates from it.

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.

Built with #svelte #d3 and #sveltekit

Screenshot with a big text that reads "Stories from the night sky" in bold white letters on a dark blue background. On top there is a star-shaped icon and below the large text, smaller text reads "A data-driven visual experiment." and on a new line "By Sebastian Lammers".
Screenshot of a map of the night sky. On top there is text that reads "Which star tells the most interesting story to you?". The map shows around 50-60 stars, depicted as white circles on a dark blue background. A computer cursor shaped like a hand is hovering one of the stars. This star is enlarged and has a purple outline. Right below the cursor there is a white tooltip textbox that contains information about the hovered star. The information reads as follows. Star ID: 113881. Star Name: Scheat. Distance: 200 light years. Year: 1829 CE. Event(s): Sir Robert Peel founds the Metropolitan Police Service, the first modern police force.

'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.

A dynamic blue sphere, the massive star, is at the centre of this image, with powerful blue magnetic field lines all around it. The field lines look wispy and fine but are densely packed, especially near the star itself. The lines shoot out of the surface of the star, especially at the poles, and curl back around on themselves in closed loops that end on the other side of the star's equator. Some do this close to the star in tightly wound loops, while others extend out to the edge of the frame, looping back in long arcs.
