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 Trifid Nebula! 🎀🎀🎀
With its name meaning “divided into 3 lobes”, this close-up picture shows the stellar beauty of this star-forming region. Containing an open cluster, emission nebula, reflection nebula, and a dark nebula, the Trifid Nebula is one of the most unique nebulae that makes it a common target for astronomers! 💖💖💖

✿ these past two days i’ve been organizing and getting things done ! i recreated my “life dashboard” on notion and i’ve been taking some python notes on there as well. i also recently deleted my acnh island after having a breakdown over how horrible it was ( oops lol ) , but i’ve restarted & im having fun playing in the early stages of the game hehe ✿
This is the Rosette Nebula! 🌹🌹🌹
This is definitely the best image I have taken of this giant molecular cloud! This nebula is a star forming region with hot, blue newborn stars at its center that is shaping this region to form a beautiful flower-like shape. As seen from Earth, this nebula appears almost 5 times larger than the full Moon! ✨✨✨

Slooh just got a massive update so there are more quests - which means more collages of astrophotos!
