An Overview of Note-Taking Styles

Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!

This is the Black Eye Galaxy! 🌌🌌🌌

The disk of this galaxy vigorously produces stars with its rapid inflow of mass into the incredibly active black hole at the center. An inner disk produces this galaxy’s distinct dust lane that gives it its name! 🌃🌃🌃

This is the Statue of Liberty Nebula! 🗽🗽🗽 (I guess to celebrate the inauguration!)

The dramatic shapes of the nebula are created by young, hot stars that were newly formed through this nebula. Most of the star formation takes place in the dark filaments in this region and it is located just a few thousand light years away from the famous Eta Carinae Nebula (also a prolific star forming region)! ✨✨✨

This is Mirach’s Ghost! 👻👻👻

This spooky image has 2 beautiful objects of interest: Mirach’s Ghost (the fuzzy galaxy on the top right) and Mirach (the bright red giant star in the center). The star is a mere 200 light years away while the galaxy is at a whopping 10 million light years away! 🎃🎃🎃

Dark Molecular Cloud Barnard 68 Image Credit: FORS Team, 8.2-meter VLT Antu, ESO

Explanation: Where did all the stars go? What used to be considered a hole in the sky is now known to astronomers as a dark molecular cloud. Here, a high concentration of dust and molecular gas absorb practically all the visible light emitted from background stars. The eerily dark surroundings help make the interiors of molecular clouds some of the coldest and most isolated places in the universe. One of the most notable of these dark absorption nebulae is a cloud toward the constellation Ophiuchus known as Barnard 68, pictured here. That no stars are visible in the center indicates that Barnard 68 is relatively nearby, with measurements placing it about 500 light-years away and half a light-year across. It is not known exactly how molecular clouds like Barnard 68 form, but it is known that these clouds are themselves likely places for new stars to form. In fact, Barnard 68 itself has been found likely to collapse and form a new star system. It is possible to look right through the cloud in infrared light.

Could I request a ditto please? I love that funky little blob

luckily for you, you get multiple blobs!
