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 Ceres! 🌠🌠🌠
Ceres is the only dwarf planet in our inner solar system and the largest object within the Asteroid Belt. Water vapor is being released from the dwarf planet, resulting in Ceres losing 6kg of its mass per second through steam! 🌊🌊🌊

am supposed to write a few lines so people at uni can ~gET tO knOw Me~ and the pressure is. on.

This is the Orion Nebula! ✨✨✨
There are around 700 newborn stars in this nebula and more are being born each year! This is without a doubt, the most photographed object in the night sky due to its bright and radiant colors. You might even be able to see it without a telescope (in good weather)! 😍😍😍

Throwback Thursday!
despite everything, you still love madoka magica (happy 10th anniversary!!)
One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰
NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn
How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.

This is the 2021 Pink Supermoon!🌜🌷🌸🌹🌺🌼💐💮
Although this moon is not pink, the name “Pink Moon” is named after the pink phlox flower that appears in the spring during the time of this event. This rare celestial event won’t happen again for another 8 years so be sure to check it out! ✨✨✨
