Connecting the Pipe Nebula to the bright star Antares is a flowing dark cloud nicknamed the Dark River. The murkiness of the Dark River is caused by absorption of background starlight by dust, although the nebula contains mostly hydrogen and molecular gas. Antares, the brightest star in the frame, is embedded in the colorful Rho Ophiuchi nebula clouds.

Astronomers have used Chandra tThis artist's illustration shows an enormous halo of hot gas (in blue) around the Milky Way galaxy. Also shown, to the lower left of the Milky Way, are the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds, two small neighboring galaxies. The halo of gas is shown with a radius of about 300,000 light years, although it may extend significantly further.
Data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory was used to estimate [link to press release] that the mass of the halo is comparable to the mass of all the stars in the Milky Way galaxy. If the size and mass of this gas halo is confirmed, it could be the solution to the "missing-baryon" problem for the Galaxy.
In a recent study, a team of five astronomers used data from Chandra, ESA's XMM-Newton, and Japan's Suzaku satellite to set limits on the temperature, extent and mass of the hot gas halo. Chandra observed eight bright X-ray sources located far beyond the Galaxy at distances of hundreds of millions of light years. The data revealed that X-rays from these distant sources are selectively absorbed by oxygen ions in the vicinity of the Galaxy. The nature of the absorption allowed the scientists to determine that the temperature of the absorbing halo is between 1 million and 2.5 million Kelvins.
Other studies have shown that the Milky Way and other galaxies are embedded in warm gas, with temperatures between 100,000 and one million degrees, and there have been indications that a hotter component with a temperature greater than a million degrees is also present. This new research provides evidence that the mass in the hot gas halo enveloping the Milky is much greater than that of the warm gas.

SO MANY OCs! Also, this will be a really long post, so just sit tight and relax.
Left-Right:
Goop:
Real Name: Unknown
Powers/Abilities, Can shapeshift into any shape at will and power absorption.
Weaknesses: Weighs one pound and a small gust of wind can easily blow him away.
Equipment: Rainboots
Backstory: A cosmic rock hit Earth's surface causing a hunk of goop to explode out. The goop would soon get into a school and mutated into a child's art project making Goop. Goop would soon go into the Saviors' Headquarters by accident and gets recruited by showing his powers.
-----------------------------------
Botanist:
Real Name: Jerry Cruz
Powers/Abilities: Plant Empowerment (gives strength and durability after getting some life force from plants.) and Plant Growth
Weaknesses: Has a soft side for animals.
Equipment: Uniform and fertilizer.
Backstory: Jerry's parents were botanists. They converted their garage and backyard to plant research facilities and Jerry was tired of unable to be in certain rooms, so he decided to start destroying the plants. However, he accidentally broke a shelf and an experimental plant fell and hit his head causing a concussion. A few years later, Jerry learned about his powers and joined the Saviors. Soon after the Saviors hired Goop, Jerry took care of Goop and even decided to adopt it.
-----------------------------------
Firestarter:
Real Name: Robby Hildebrant
Powers/Abilities: Fire Generation, Temperature Manipulation, and is Fireproof
Weaknesses: Water can extinguish his fires, needs to drink water in order to stay hydrated in the heat, and is heavy due to his Flamethrower.
Equipment: Flamethrower, uniform, grapple hook, and foldable hatchet
Backstory: Robby had an average childhood and life. Nothing really happened until his family’s home started burning with flames. Robby was the only one home and he knew he had to do something to stop it. He tried all of the things expected to stop a fire, but it kept burning. It was only until he stepped in the fire that he learnt that he had superpowers. After turning 18, he set out to become the superhero he thought of as Firestarter.
-----------------------------------
Blackhawk
Real Name: Frank Willis
Powers/Abilities: Smart Engineer with Superhuman Strength and Durability.
Weaknesses: Frank is an alcoholic.
Equipment: A specially designed pistol (Taser and grapple-hook), a lasso, and a variety of grenades.
Backstory: A former professional pilot and actor that needed to have some fun. Life was boring for him so Frank decided to start stopping small crimes. Apparently he got praise from it and decided to fight more. The people also agreed, so Frank started the Saviors group. After a few superheroes joined, Frank bought out a small area of an office building and converted it into a tourist attraction and the Saviors' Headquarters. Sadly, during the first phases of the Saviors Group, the superheroes that joined were killed during a mission causing Willis to become an alcoholic. He would have the same charm during a mission, but he ain't what he was after. A few years later, he reopened the Saviors group and he hired 6 heroes, Firestarter, Phaser, Streak, Titan, Botanist and Goop.
-----------------------------------
Titan:
Real Name: Chandler Timberland
Powers/Abilities: Size Manipulation (Strength and Durability when he grows)
Weaknesses: Slower the bigger he gets, also, Chad has a tendency of not planning ahead.
Equipment: Uniform
Backstory: Chandler used to be a bully at school. He would get people to do his homework until one day, the bully victims decided to teach him a lesson. They made him a pill that would supposedly make him fat, instead it made Chandler grow in size. Realizing what happened, Chandler tried to say sorry, instead he crushed 5 people. He ran off into an alleyway and got help from a fellow student, Autumn Hendricks. Chandler soon joined the Saviors with his new girlfriend, Autumn Hendricks and they are known as Titan and Streak.
-----------------------------------
Streak:
Real Name: Autumn Hendricks
Powers/Abilities: Super-Human Speed and Durability
Weaknesses: Motion Sickness while running at fast speeds
Equipment: Uniform
Backstory: Autumn who was born in a family with lots of health issues. She was the only lucky one with an issue that would be useful. She was born with superhuman speed. Autumn would grow up always knowing that she had powers and she is extremely skilled with them. During her high-school years, she met someone in an alleyway. His name was Chandler (Titan). She taught him how to use his powers for good. Chandler and Autumn soon joined the Saviors as Titan and Streak.
-----------------------------------
Phaser:
Real Name: Clark Jenkins
Powers/Abilities: Can phase through any object
Weaknesses: Often works alone and has no super-human strength whatsoever.
Equipment: Uniform and Pepper-Spray
Backstory: Clark has been lifelong friends to another hero, Firestarter (Robby Hildebrante). When Clark was a little boy, his parents were desperate for money and needed to feed Clark. They got a job from a scientist and Clark’s parents were supposed to make a formula that would grant the powers of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, Clark as a young child accidentally drank the formula. Clark had no idea that he had powers until a fight happened at school where Clark phased through a bully’s punch and threw him (Buckshot) through a window injuring his arm and messing up his face. Clark would soon be expelled from school and spend some time in jail. After being released, he realized he needed to use his powers for good. Clark would go back to his parents’ home and ask them to make a costume for him that was made of unstable molecules so he can stay in his costume and phase through objects at the same time (his parents lost the science job and got money from buying stocks.) Clark finally knowing his powers would go out into the world fighting small crimes as Phaser.

This is a montage of the minor partial eclipse of the Moon of September 17, 2024, showing the sequence from the start of the umbral phase, at left, to the end, at right. The two images in between on either side of mid-eclipse were shot at roughly equal time intervals, to show the progress of the Moon along the edge of the umbral shadow.
The middle image was taken at mid-eclipse when only 8% of the lunar disk was immersed in the Earth's umbral shadow, taking a dark bite out of the northern edge of the Full Moon. This is not enough of an eclipse to show any reddening of the umbra, unlike at a total eclipse or even a major partial eclipse.
Throughout most of the eclipse the rest of the Moon was within the lighter penumbral shadow, creating the gradient of brightness across the disk with the southern region brighter than the north.
However, more obvious is the change in colour of the lunar disk as the eclipse progresses, from yellow to whiter. That is not due to the eclipse or effect of the Earth's shadow, but is from the Moon climbing higher in the southeast over the roughly hour-long umbral phase, decreasing the amount of atmospheric absorption that yellows the disk of a low Moon. Indeed, for the first part of the eclipse the Moon was in light cloud.
Technical:
This middle mid-eclipse image is a blend of two exposures: a short 1/40-second exposure for the main disk and a longer 1/10-second exposure taken immediately after, to bring out the area at top in the umbral shadow. The others are single 1/40-second exposures.

This Hubble image captures a portion of a dark nebula in the constellation Cepheus. LDN 1165 is part of a collection called Lynds’ Catalog of Dark Nebulae, originally published in 1962. Dark nebulae ― also called absorption nebulae ― are clouds of gas and dust that neither emit nor reflect light, instead blocking light coming from behind them. These nebulae tend to contain large amounts of dust, which allows them to absorb visible light from stars or nebulae beyond them. Dark nebulae are so dark that they’ve been referred to as “holes in the sky,” but in reality they may be full of activity, with stars sometimes forming inside their dense clouds.
Hubble observed this region as part of a study of protostars, hot dense cores of newly forming stars that are accumulating gas and dust as they undergo the starbirth process. The bright area in this image is likely a star-forming region that may hold one or more young protostars. Further study of dark nebulae like LDN 1165 will help us better understand the nature of these dark and dusty clouds and the stellar nurseries that may lurk within them.

THOMAS’S GIFT
The process of observing Thomas and enjoying his company has made me wish that I could be more like him. Thomas’s optimism and good nature make him pleasant to spend time with, and he seems to have retained a child’s sense of wonder.
There is usually so much going on in “normal” life that we forget to stop and notice the things happening in our day-to-day surroundings, or even right on the sofa next to us. Thomas reminds me of the richness available in our lives daily. To follow in his tracks is to adjust to a different rhythm. In trying to figure out what he is contemplating at a given time, I am forced to slow down, to refocus my senses in a new way. His total absorption in the activity of “looking” takes on a Zen quality. Why does he gaze at the Christmas ball on the tree, instead of batting it down? Why does he smell the flower and touch it gently instead of destroying it? Why does he seem to want to study the birds instead of eat them? I am amazed at the length of time he spends observing something that he has no hope or intention of catching or eating.
Hi Folks,
This is the third and last imaging project to come out of a recent data collection session that occurred in late September.
Given the expected weather patterns, it may be my last new image of 2023.
WR 134 is a Wolf-Rayet Star in a complex region in the constellation Cygnus. Located 6,000 light years away, WR 134 is associated with a bubble nebula blown in the gas and the dust by this star's intense radiation and solar winds.
While there are a lot of objects in this image, it should be noted that it also contains WR 135 and WR 137. Together with WR 134, these were the first Wolf-Rayet stars ever discovered.
Wolf-Rayet Stars stood out because their spectra show intense emission lines, whereas typical stars only show absorption lines. These massive and bright stars burn fiercely and live short lives!
This image results from 15.5 hours of exposure taken with my Askar FRA400 f/5.5 Astrograph, a ZWO ASI1600MM-Pro camera, and a ZWO AM5 mount. The AM5 mount continued to perform excellently, typically giving me tracking errors of 0.24! Best I have ever seen.
Full details on this imaging project, including a detailed, step-by-step processing walkthrough, can be found on my website here:

Thanks for looking,

The series ends on this photo.
"It ends with a black-and-white photograph, breaking with the chromatic exuberance of the other images. This deliberate choice aims to bring the observer back to the reality of the place, often deserted and plunged into darkness. This photograph also wishes to reveal the weight of the solitude and silence that I felt during my visits where I was very often the only one in the quarry, and in which I had the feeling of being absorbed after a few hours."

Prior to the October 2019 absorption of Long Sutton depot into the division, the furthest south one would find a Stagecoach East Midlands vehicle was Grantham. Grantham is reached by service 1 from Lincoln which currently operates hourly along the full route and half hourly between Lincoln and Wellingore. Deckers are the usual allocation, and former North East Enviro 400 NK57DWG (19202) is seen here on its way out of Caythorpe with the 10:00 from Grantham, the Grade I-listed St Vincent's visible in the background.
This sequence of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope images chronicles the waxing and waning of the amount of cloud cover on Neptune. This nearly-30-year-long set of observations shows that the number of clouds grows increasingly following a peak in the solar cycle – where the Sun’s level of activity rhythmically rises and falls over an 11-year period.
The Sun’s level of ultraviolet radiation is plotted in the vertical axis. The 11-year cycle is plotted along the bottom from 1994 to 2022. The Hubble observations along the top, clearly show a correlation between cloud abundance and solar peak of activity.
The theory is that the increased ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, during its peak of activity, causes chemical changes deep in Neptune’s atmosphere. After a couple years this eventually percolates into the upper atmosphere to form clouds.
[Image description: This graphic shows a scientific plot in the form of a graph displaying changes in Neptune’s cloud cover compared to the 11-year-long repeating solar cycle of relative activity and inactivity on the Sun’s surface. The vertical axis plots the level of ultraviolet radiation coming from the Sun. The horizontal axis is a timeline from the years 1994 to 2022. Seven Hubble photos of Neptune taken in the years 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2015, and 2020 are plotted above the graph. The planet is blue (due to methane absorption of red light in its atmosphere) and the high-altitude, cirrus-like clouds are white. A comparison of Neptune’s waxing and waning amount of cloud cover corresponds to peaks in the solar cycle. This graph clearly demonstrates the level of solar activity influences Neptune’s weather.]

Cactus
A cactus (pl. cacti, cactuses, or less commonly, cactus)[3] is a member of the plant family Cactaceae,[a] a family comprising about 127 genera with some 1750 known species of the order Caryophyllales.[4] The word cactus derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek word κάκτος (káktos), a name originally used by Theophrastus for a spiny plant whose identity is now not certain.[5] Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. Although some species live in quite humid environments, most cacti live in habitats subject to at least some drought. Many live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. Because of this, cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. For example, almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of most cacti where this vital process takes place. Most species of cacti have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. As well as defending against herbivores, spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow close to the cactus and providing some shade. In the absence of true leaves, cacti's enlarged stems carry out photosynthesis. Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north—except for Rhipsalis baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri Lanka.
Cactus spines are produced from specialized structures called areoles, a kind of highly reduced branch. Areoles are an identifying feature of cacti. As well as spines, areoles give rise to flowers, which are usually tubular and multipetaled. Many cacti have short growing seasons and long dormancies and are able to react quickly to any rainfall, helped by an extensive but relatively shallow root system that quickly absorbs any water reaching the ground surface. Cactus stems are often ribbed or fluted, which allows them to expand and contract easily for quick water absorption after rain, followed by retention over long drought periods. Like other succulent plants, most cacti employ a special mechanism called "crassulacean acid metabolism" (CAM) as part of photosynthesis. Transpiration, during which carbon dioxide enters the plant and water escapes, does not take place during the day at the same time as photosynthesis, but instead occurs at night. The plant stores the carbon dioxide it takes in as malic acid, retaining it until daylight returns, and only then using it in photosynthesis. Because transpiration takes place during the cooler, more humid night hours, water loss is significantly reduced.
Many smaller cacti have globe-shaped stems, combining the highest possible volume for water storage with the lowest possible surface area for water loss from transpiration. The tallest[b] free-standing cactus is Pachycereus pringlei, with a maximum recorded height of 19.2 m (63 ft),[7] and the smallest is Blossfeldia liliputiana, only about 1 cm (0.4 in) in diameter at maturity.[8] A fully grown saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) is said to be able to absorb as much as 200 U.S. gallons (760 l; 170 imp gal) of water during a rainstorm.[9] A few species differ significantly in appearance from most of the family. At least superficially, plants of the genera Leuenbergeria, Rhodocactus and Pereskia resemble other trees and shrubs growing around them. They have persistent leaves, and when older, bark-covered stems. Their areoles identify them as cacti, and in spite of their appearance, they, too, have many adaptations for water conservation. Leuenbergeria is considered close to the ancestral species from which all cacti evolved. In tropical regions, other cacti grow as forest climbers and epiphytes (plants that grow on trees). Their stems are typically flattened, almost leaf-like in appearance, with fewer or even no spines, such as the well-known Christmas cactus or Thanksgiving cactus (in the genus Schlumbergera).
Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants, others are grown for fodder or forage, and others for food (particularly their fruit). Cochineal is the product of an insect that lives on some cacti.
Many succulent plants in both the Old and New World – such as some Euphorbiaceae (euphorbias) – are also spiny stem succulents and because of this are sometimes incorrectly referred to as "cactus".[citation needed]

Blob o' dust. I was curious to see if Hubble had ever looked at this object, so I was poking around in the archive. HST has never looked, but apparently JWST will at some point, and I expect the dust to nearly disappear in the wavelengths it will observe in, revealing all sorts of colors. Very curious to see the results.
Whatever the future holds, this image is from PanSTARRS, which I also noticed in the archive and that it was relatively clean data. I love PanSTARRS, but it's sometimes more trouble to work with than it's worth. What's nice here is that there was enough near-infrared data to just begin to see through the less thicker parts of the dust, and I like the reddening effect this produces.
