Astronomy and Space Science - For Explorers of All Ages

And so thanks to the incredible generosity of my best friend Vera (Professional Voice Actor - Click Here ), I got a loan to get me the Tamron 150-600mm G2 A022 Telescopic Lens, of which I trialled this morning, after waking far too early. It had occurred to me after receiving the lens I could use the full focal length and zoom in on garden pots, flowers and other blooms that are on balconies and out of reach areas, but look really good. So hence I leaned over my balcony and got this shot of a beautiful Night Sky Petunia, I actually came up with the title before I had ID'd the flower.
But now I have an ear worm of Metallica's cover of Astronomy from the Garage Days album playing in my head, so now with this massive, professional lens, I can now play with the big Boys and Girls! I've more shots on the way, stay tuned!
In the meantime, it's Friday so enjoy the weekend people and as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)

16 квітня 2020 року, коли Київ затягнуло димом, за 140 км від столиці в місті Ічня, небо теж мало сірий колір. А сонце втратило свою яскравість і на нього можна було дивитися неозброєним оком.

On April 16, 2020, when the smoke in Kiev, 140 km from the capital city of Ichnya, the sky was gray. And the sun lost its brightness and you could look at it with the naked eye.

With an elaborate, and accurate, illusion created for the Hogwarts Astronomy class, many a student was literally starstruck at the sight. Caspian and Marigold, of course, ended up taking some time to enjoy a quiet moment to observe after class was over.

Total lunar eclipse - September 7th - did not provide the most ideal conditions for observation. There was too much cloud cover.

The Pinwheel Galaxy (also known as Messier 101, M101 or NGC 5457) is a face-on spiral galaxy 21 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major.
NGC 5474 is a peculiar dwarf galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is one of several companion galaxies of the Pinwheel Galaxy (M101)

NGC 3718, also called Arp 214, is a galaxy located approximately 52 million light years from Earth in the constellation Ursa Major. It is either a lenticular or spiral galaxy.
NGC 3718 has a warped, s-shape. This may be due to gravitational interaction between it and NGC 3729, another spiral galaxy located 150,000 light-years away.

The Moon, at the time of capture, was at its meridian transit but a little high above the horizon (about 25 deg). At this height, any object is affected by atmospheric absorption. The hue is often warmer and a very high definition is not achieved. Normally all the details are softer than in a zenith capture.
NGC 1491 is a bright nebula in the constellation of Perseus. It is also known as LBN 704 or the Fossil Footprint Nebula

The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region. The Lagoon Nebula was discovered by Giovanni Hodierna before 1654 and is one of only two star-forming nebulae faintly visible to the eye from mid-northern latitudes. The nebula lies around 4,077 light years away.
While I love the Great Orion Nebula, I am growing more enamored with this particular nebula. Take a closer look at everything going on here - dust lanes, waves of hydrogen clouds and more. It's a gorgeous nebula!
