This image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-68.7, also known as N103B (top of the image). N103B was a Type Ia supernova, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud – a neighbouring galaxy of the Milky Way. Owing to its relative proximity to Earth, astronomers observe the remnant to search for a potential stellar survivor of the explosion.
The orange-red filaments visible in the image show the shock fronts of the supernova explosion. These filaments allow astronomers to calculate the original centre of the explosion. The filaments also show that the explosion is no longer expanding as a sphere, but is elliptical in shape. Astronomers assume that part of material ejected by the explosion hit a denser cloud of interstellar material, which slowed its speed. The shell of expanding material being open to one side supports this idea.
The gas in the lower half of the image and the dense concentration of stars in the lower left are the outskirts of the star cluster NGC 1850, which has been observed by Hubble in the past [heic0108].

Edited NOIRLab image (reduced in size to get Flickr to upload it) of the Vela supernova remnant.
Original caption: This colorful web of wispy gas filaments is the Vela Supernova Remnant, an expanding nebula of cosmic debris left over from a massive star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. This image was taken with the Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on the US National Science Foundation's Víctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. The striking reds, yellows, and blues in this image were achieved through the use of three DECam filters that each collect a specific color of light. Separate images were taken in each filter and then stacked on top of each other to produce this high-resolution image that contains 1.3 gigapixels and showcases the intricate web-like filaments snaking throughout the expanding cloud of gas.

Glowing warmly against the dark backdrop of the Universe, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows an irregular galaxy called UGC 12682. Located approximately 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (The Winged Horse), UGC 12682 is distorted and oddly-structured, with bright pockets of star formation.
In November 2008, 14-year-old Caroline Moore from New York discovered a supernova in UGC 12682. This made her the youngest person at the time to have discovered a supernova. Follow-up observations by professional astronomers of the so-called SN 2008ha showed that it was peculiarly interesting in many different ways: its host galaxy UGC 12682 rarely produces supernovae. It is one of the faintest supernovae ever observed and after the explosion it expanded very slowly, suggesting that the explosion did not release copious amounts of energy as usually expected.
Astronomers have now classified SN 2008ha as a subclass of a Type Ia supernova, which is the explosion of a white dwarf that hungrily accretes matter from a companion star. SN 2008ha may have been the result of a partially failed supernova, explaining why the explosion failed to decimate the whole star.

Another in the "cars of tomorrow" series, this one in somewhat CS livery. I actually colored a green windscreen for this but it looked so bad in the photos that I decided to color a clear one in post-processing instead. A few challenges here due to the offset stud-width between the 8-wide front and 7-wide body but I think it came out well, how about you? As always, comments and constructive criticisms welcome, and thanks for looking!!
What a night to grab the camera and head off on a photography mission!!!
With the forecast looking good, Jay and I headed down South in the hope of a clear night and the Milky Way to be out. As we drove out of Sydney a few clouds started to roll in, but we pressed on anyway. We made our way down to Kiama to photograph Cathedral Rock under a clear night sky.
I love night photography as it usually involves a mission to get to the location and a little bit of the unknown in terms of what you end up with.
was watching the known universe on the national geographic channel and i swear that the CG supernova looked like an iris. the little strands...the ring of the shockwave..... the debris

Only 2 more weeks...what?
I started junior year this week. It's a bit stressful but I like my classes for the most part.
I have a three-day-weekend, so I think I'm going to spend it watching Doctor Who and sleeping. Oh, and doing homework (ew.)
This is weird, but it's literally the only thing I have energy for. Sorry guys.
Have a good weekend everyone!
This was the one I was really happy with. This is the best nightlight ever. Reminds me of those globes at the Planetarium!
Combined images from a Sloan set 2400 sec total integration. Quite close to the nucleus of the galaxy, barely split by iTelescope T11. Second brightest Supernova in sky on this date. Mag 13.2.

Cloudbursts and sunshine...and rainbow bokeh! That's what makes me happy....shame I hadn't got the grass in proper focus but hey ho such is life ;-))
*Bumped to the top of my Photostream after being reprocessed Nov 24 to sort out a burnt out sky in jpeg, plus contrast issues. Trams still aren't running here 6 years later, although track is actually/finally being laid now after many delays.*
Original post text:
The South Staffordshire Line, Golds Hill, Wednesbury. This'll be the third or fourth shot I've posted of this burnt out car, but it is the gift that keeps giving.
The car's a Vauxhall Nova - manufactured around 1991/92, it was presumably driven up here in the dark from a local scrapyard and set alight by vandals after they hit the in situ rails.
Bridge 28 where this was taken was originally a works access from nearby workers' cottages which have long since been demolished. Later on in the 60's over 1,000 steam locomotives crossed this point into the former Cashmore's scrapyard, also now long since closed.
Within five years there will be trams running along this line. The section just beyond the car has optimistically been earmarked for a tram stop, serving the Golds Hill regeneration zone. The local residents in the remains of Golds Hill village, surrounded by industrial development, are certainly deserving of improved transport links since the one road through there - Eagle Lane - was cut off as a through route 20 years ago.
Supernova #SN2023ixf capturée au télescope 1000mm de focale.
Elle a nécessité d'être capturée en 2 nuits, le 10 juin et 7 juillet 2023 toujours à cause de la météo. Temps d'exposition totale 6h.
Elle est toujours là !
2 panel stitch of the Vela Supernova Remnant with the goal of creating a 4 panel mosaic; been getting an unbelievable run of clear nights here in Brisbane so I've been busy trying to get as much time on the target as I can. Unfortunately the Supernova sets quite early now so even with the clear nights there's not much time to shoot. So far total integration time's about 13 hours all up with roughly 6.5 hours spent on each panel.
Taken with a H-alpha modified Canon 77D, Askar FRA500 telescope + 0.7x reducer, Optolong L-Ultimate dual narrowband filter tracked with Proxisky UMi 17 Lite Harmonic Drive mount under Bortle 5 sky.
Recently bought this beautifully coloured, smart jacket, and teamed it with this wonderful satin mini skirt, for a walk around the Harbourside. It was a bit cold for this outfit really, but I didn't let that deter me and stopped for a couple of photos before dashing back to the sanctuary of the car.
