This is the Red Spider Nebula located about 3000 LY in the #constellation #Sagittarius

We talked about the #astronomy & #mythology of this #constellation back in season 1 of our podcast, here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagittarius-the-archer/

Astrophotography image of the Red Spider Nebula. On a black background with stars/other space objects scattered throughout, is a bright orange object. The planetary nebula appears to be the shape of a crescent moon with ripples of red-orange around it caused by stellar winds.

Ever see an #astrophotography image and it just feels too... 2D?!

#Chandra & friends have the answer: https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2025/3dmodels/index.html

As an example, here is G292.0+1.8, a supernova remnant located in the #constellation #Centaurus (we covered this constellation's #astronomy here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/centaurus-cosmic-background/and #mythology here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/centaurus-myths-and-retconstellations/)

Speaking of #centaurs (as we've been doing for a few weeks now, check out our episodes on the #astronomy #mythology and #PopCulture of the #constellation #Centaurus here: https://starrytimepodcast.com/episodes) -- how do you all feel about seeing ppl riding a centaur??

This is NGC 1514 aka the Crystal Ball Nebula -- a planetary nebula -- newly imaged by #JWST

It's in the #constellation #Taurus which we covered in Season 1: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/taurus-the-bull/

$From source in toot: Image description: What looks like a single large, bright star (but is two) shines with bright purple diffraction spikes at the center of a large, diffuse cylinder of gas and dust that is tipped to the right. At the center is a bright pink clumpy cloud that takes up about 25% of the view. The pink region has some holes and diffuse areas. Beyond that are two large rings seen at a roughly 60-degree angle that appear joined at top left and bottom right. The edges are denser, and form shallow V-shapes that go inward. The rings appear orange at top left and bottom right, and are blue at bottom and center right. There is diffuse orange material around the body. The black background of space is speckled with tiny stars and galaxies mostly in blues and yellows. A bigger blue star with spikes is just below and to the left of the central stars, but it is slightly smaller. Areas Webb did not observe are along the top edges, a thin vertical near the nebula at top left, and at the bottom left and right corners.$

This is Stephan's Quintet -- located in the #constellation Pegasus -- we haven't covered Pegasus (yet)

But we have covered the winged-horse's friend Hercules (according to #disney )

From source in toot: An image of five galaxies known as Stephan's Quintet. Two of the galaxies appear close together at the center of the image. One appears directly above, and another slightly to our left near the bottom of the image. Each of these four galaxies presents as an irregular dot of brilliant white light surrounded by glowing haze. A fifth galaxy hides at our center left in an oval shape marbled with a tangle of golden orange lines. Similar golden orange tangles appear around the two galaxies at the center of the image, and the galaxy above them. Above the two galaxies at the center is a bright, light blue cloud. This is a shock wave uncovered by the Chandra data. Scattered across the image are specks of white and golden orange light, gleaming stars and distant galaxies.

Today in: Is it #Art or is it #astrophotography … (both, ofc)

This is MeerKAT data along with #JWST inset looking into Sagittarius C

If you want to learn about the #astronomy & #mythology of the #constellation #Sagittarius — check out our #podcast here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/sagittarius-the-archer/

From source linked in toot: Image description: Processed data collected by the MeerKAT radio telescope shows the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, with a graphic pullout highlighting a much smaller region on the right, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared light observations. The MeerKAT image is colored in blue, cyan, and yellow, with a very bright white-yellow center that indicates the location of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole. Painterly bubbles of various sizes, clouds, and vertical brushstroke-like streaks make up the radio image. The Webb inset shows stars and gas clouds in red, with an arching cloud of bright cyan that contains many straight, needle-like features that appear more crystalline than cloudy

Spider pulsars in the globular cluster Omega Centauri

To learn about this globular cluster & more on the #astronomy of the #constellation #Centaurus check out: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/centaurus-cosmic-background/

:https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2023/spiders/index.html

Visual Description from source in toot:
This release features a composite image of a globular cluster, a sphere-shaped collection of stars bound together by gravity. In this conglomeration are eleven spider pulsars, which obliterate their companion stars with strong winds of particles.

In the main image of this release, scores of tiny white stars dot the blackness of space, many appearing to glow with a white or hot pink aura. Like other globular clusters, this conglomeration, named Omega Centauri, is more densely packed near the center.

From source in toot:
A close up image of the densely-packed center of Omega Centaurus reveals even more stars, blanketing the frame from corner to corner. This close up is presented fully labeled, with a white ring encircling nine of the eleven marked spider pulsars.

Each spider pulsar is the spinning core of a collapsed massive star. As they spin, the spider pulsars emit beams of radiation, like light from a lighthouse. The pulsars also produce winds of particles that methodically strip away their companion stars, layer by layer

This is G292.0+1.8 (a really memorable name ) -- it's a supernova remnant with a pulsar located in the #constellation #Centaurus as seen by #Chandra

You can learn more about the #astronomy of the #constellation #Centaurus, here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/centaurus-cosmic-background/

:https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2022/g292/index.html

Visual Description from Chandra website linked in toot: G292.0+1.8 Supernova Remnant

This release features a composite image of a supernova remnant, which resembles a ball of swirling, red, purple and blue clouds veined with bright white light.

Inside this supernova remnant, near our lower left, is a white dot; a fast-moving pulsar. This pulsar, J1124-5916, is enlarged in an inset found at the lower left hand corner of the main image. In the enlarged inset, a near-horizontal oblong aura surrounding the dot becomes clear.

Idea, run #PTZ camera trough #SDI splitter and use those in inputs to video mixer. Then monitor those inputs for going to preview and change the PTZ preset accordingly. And now you have "x more cameras". #ATEMmini #Constellation
