The Silver Coin Galaxy 🌌

My favorite galaxy by far. This starburst spiral galaxy, also known as NGC 253, is undergoing massive star formation and thus is incredibly bright ✨

Colors of the Moon Image Credit & Copyright: Marcella Giulia Pace

Explanation: What color is the Moon? It depends on the night. Outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the dark Moon, which shines by reflected sunlight, appears a magnificently brown-tinged gray. Viewed from inside the Earth’s atmosphere, though, the moon can appear quite different. The featured image highlights a collection of apparent colors of the full moon documented by one astrophotographer over 10 years from different locations across Italy. A red or yellow colored moon usually indicates a moon seen near the horizon. There, some of the blue light has been scattered away by a long path through the Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes laden with fine dust. A blue-colored moon is more rare and can indicate a moon seen through an atmosphere carrying larger dust particles. What created the purple moon is unclear – it may be a combination of several effects. The last image captures the total lunar eclipse of 2018 July – where the moon, in Earth’s shadow, appeared a faint red – due to light refracted through air around the Earth. Today there is not only another full moon but a total lunar eclipse visible to observers in North and South America – an occurrence that may lead to some unexpected lunar colorings.

This is the Blue Moon! 🌝✨🌝✨🌝✨

A blue moon occurs when there are more than 1 full moon per month (it’s not actually blue 😭). We were lucky to have it on Halloween since this occurrence is pretty rare: the next time there will be a blue moon on Halloween is 19 years from now! 👻🎃🦇🍬🍭🍫

This is Haley’s Coronet! 👑👑👑

The interaction between the larger spiral galaxy and its dwarf galaxy have created plumes of dust around the duo. The process of the larger galaxy eating the smaller one is actually called galactic cannibalism (spooky)! 👻👻👻

𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 8 𝐝𝐞𝐜 • The fact that it's the last monthly spread of this year seems so unreal..I did this constellation kind of theme because outer space have a special place in my heart and this is my birth month so why not! also let's say goodbye to this unfortunate year and wish that the new moon of 2021 will bring new lights!✨

This is Sharpless 101! 💕💕💕

This stunning HII emission nebula is also called the Tulip Nebula due to its flower-like shape. This field is close to the Cygnus X-1 quasar, which was one of the first detected black holes! 💞💞💞
