Mars and Virgo on the 24-3-2014 at 02.00am. Cloud was starting to gather, and the smoke from the chimney added to the effect. The hedge on the left was lit by my head torch! Asteroids Vesta and Ceres are also in this image but I have no way of annotating at the moment!
"Hence, just as Christ, the Mediator between God and man, assumed human nature, blotted the handwriting of the decree that stood against us, and fastened it triumphantly to the cross, so the most holy Virgin, united with him by a most intimate and indissoluble bond, was, with him and through him, eternally at enmity with the evil serpent, and most completely triumphed over him, and thus crushed his head with her immaculate foot."
– Pope Bl. Pius IX

La galaxie spirale barrée NGC 5068 est située à environ 17 millions d'années-lumière de la Terre, dans la constellation de la Vierge (Virgo). L'image proche infrarouge de la galaxie est remplie par l'énorme rassemblement d'étoiles plus anciennes qui constituent son noyau. Des nuages de poussière denses et brillants se trouvent le long de la trajectoire des bras spiraux. A l'intérieur de ceux-ci, se trouvent de jeunes amas d'étoiles et de l'hydrogène gazeux où de nouvelles étoiles se forment. Les étoiles jeunes et énergiques ionisent l'hydrogène qui les entoure ce qui, combiné à l'émission de poussières chaudes, crée cette lueur rougeâtre.
Description de l'image :
La galaxie spirale barrée NGC 5068 montre ici son noyau et une partie d'un bras spiral. Des milliers et des milliers de minuscules étoiles, vues comme des taches blanches, remplissent le cadre. Les étoiles sont plus denses dans la barre blanchâtre qui forme le noyau, vu dans le quadrant supérieur gauche, et moins denses en allant vers le bras spiral. Les nuages de gaz, représentés en rouge vif, suivent la torsion de la galaxie et le bras spiral (cf. ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. Lee and the PHANGS-JWST Team).

OK, it's not the Webb, but in 2017 I managed to capture not less than 45 galaxies with my Takahashi FSQ-106 telescope from my home observatory in light-polluted central Maryland. There are a few unlabeled faint galaxies that my astrometry software did not identify. Magnify and look for smudges that aren't circles (brighter stars) or points (dimmer stars).

Virgo is the sixth astrological sign in the zodiac. It spans the 150–180th degree of the zodiac. Under the tropical zodiac, the Sun transits this area between August 23 and September 22. Depending on the system of astrology, individuals born during these dates may be called Virgos or Virgoans.
