Here is more close-up photo of the Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction! 🪐🪐🪐
I was able to take a picture when the 2 planets were at their closest! The small dots around the 2 planets are actually moons of the planets - I can’t believe I was able to photograph them! 🌙🌙🌙
The last viewable conjunction where the planets were this close was in the year 1226! It’s amazing we were able to see this within our lifetime! 🍀🍀🍀

This is the Pleiades in culmination! ✨✨✨
Just a few weeks ago, this cluster culminated in the south - meaning that they reached their highest point and appeared its brightest. Thankfully, the telescopes were open briefly for me to take a quick picture! ♥♥♥

This is the Eagle Nebula! 🦅🦅🦅
This young cluster of stars and the distinct Pillars of Creation at the center of the nebula are located in the constellation of Serpens. These stars, which were formed in the HII region of this nebula, are very massive: some of them are up to 1 million solar luminosities! ✨✨✨

This is the Pleiades! 💫💫💫
This stunning cluster is the nearest object in the Messier catalog to Earth and is easily visible in the night sky. Each of these stars are almost 40 times brighter than our Sun and are surrounded by a reflection nebula! 🌞🌞🌞

This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
Recent observations by the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the presence of protoplanetary disks, or proplyds, in the Orion Nebula. Newborn stars form in this beautiful nebula when clumps of hydrogen gas condense and become hot enough for stellar fusion! 💥💥💥
