This is the Lunar Eclipse of May 15th, 2022! πππ
As the Earthβs shadow covers the Moon, it appears to disappear into darkness. This is just one of 85 lunar eclipses that will occur in the 21st century. If you missed this one, donβt worry! The next total lunar eclipse will occur on November 8th, 2022. ππβ¨

This is the Eskimo Nebula!Β βββ
This nebula is created by the death of a Sun-like star and its strange 2 layered appearance gives it a lot of creative names such as the Clown-Faced Nebula or the Lion Nebula. Even though it looks like the planetary nebula is smooth, the reality is that it has dense filaments of matter all around it! β¨β¨β¨

New sticker concept~ It's been a long time since I've drawn space lol follow me on twitter / instagram / patreon / shop / leave a tip
Hello everyone!Β A few months ago, I released Project DeLightΒ -Β an initiative against light pollution in our community.
I just made an instagram for this project so please follow us for updates! β¨β¨β¨
14.01.2021Β β looking forward to the next semester! iβve signed up for cs1 and althoughΒ i have some cs experience outside of school, iβve never taken an actual cs class before so iβm curious how itβll go.
This is the Eagle Nebula!Β π¦ π¦ π¦
This young cluster of stars and the distinct Pillars of Creation at the center of the nebula are located in the constellation of Serpens. These stars, which were formed in the HII region of this nebula, are very massive: some of them are up to 1 million solar luminosities! β¨β¨β¨

This is the Triangulum Galaxy! πππ
Despite being a spiral galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy has very little star formation as shown through infrared observations from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). However, a region known as NGC 604 is the largest stellar nursery between itself, the Milky Way, and the Andromeda Galaxy! π₯π₯π₯

The Exploding GalaxyΒ is a starburst galaxy which may have been deformed by M81, another neighboring galaxy. π
Starting in April 2010, the Exploding Galaxy started sending out strange radio signals and scientists to this day donβt understand them yet... π½π½π½

Slooh just got a massive update so there are more quests - which means more collages of astrophotos!
Here is a collection of some of my best nebulae photos: theΒ Lagoon Nebula, Rho Ophiuchi, Horsehead Nebula, and Dumbbell Nebula! ππ«ππβ¨
Could I request a ditto please? I love that funky little blob
luckily for you, you get multiple blobs!
