This Is The Skull Nebula! 💀💀💀

This is the Eta Carinae Nebula! ✨✨✨

Due to its eruption in the 1840s, the mass of this stunning nebula has been challenging to measure. The colorful dust also dims the star’s ultraviolet and visible light by reradiating the shorter, more energetic light through longer wavelengths like infrared light! ❤❤❤

This is the Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! ✨✨✨

Although the Slooh telescopes were off at the time of the eclipse itself, Slooh did provide a great livestream on Youtube that you can watch if you missed the event. The name “super moon” comes from how the Moon is located closer in its elliptical orbit to Earth, the name “flower moon” comes from how the super moon takes place in May, and the name “blood moon” shows its red color due to the Earth blocking the Sun’s light on the moon! 💖💖💖

This is the Lobster Nebula! 🦞🦞🦞

Despite this creative name, there were multiple petitions to change this nebula’s name to the Madokami Nebula (named after a character in the anime Madoka Magica) and the War and Peace Nebula (named after its resemblance to a skull and dove). The core of the nebula is the Pismis-24 cluster containing very massive stars up to 100 solar masses each! ✨✨✨

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 the Trifid Nebula! ✨✨✨

At the center of this nebula is a group of bright newborn stars that are releasing streams of radiation and sculpting the nebula’s shape. Located next to the famous Lagoon Nebula, the Trifid Nebula is a common target for astrophotographers due to its vibrant colors and high visibility! 💖💖💖

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!✨
