Messier 12 (M12), also known as the Gumball Globular, is a globular star cluster located in the constellation Ophiuchus. The Gumball Globular lies at a distance of 15,700 light years from Earth and has a diameter of 75 light years. It has the designation NGC 6218 in the New General Catalogue.

 

The high concentration of stars within globular clusters provides such cramped living quarters that it makes them home to exotic binary star systems where two stars are locked in tight orbits around each other. Matter from one is gobbled up by its companion, releasing X-rays formed from very close encounters between stars in crowded regions. It looks pretty but don't stand too close for very long.

NGC-6888 la Crescent Nebula, nella Costellazione del Cigno, a 4700 anni luce di distanza da noi.

La nube risplende per riflessione, a seguito dell’energia ricevuta durante l’esplosione di una stella in supernova. Nel giro di pochi millenni si prevede che l’oggetto svanirà del tutto, disperdendosi nel mezzo interstellare.

With all these recent clear skies it has been time for mee to set up my trusty telescope. This image of the globular cluster M13 was taken with my big, heavy Celestron C-11 scope.

 

Messier 13, or M13, is a globular cluster in the constellation of Hercules. As a result it is sometimes called the Great Hercules Cluster and is considered the most spectacular globular cluster in the northern skies. About 145 light-years in diameter, M13 is composed of several hundred thousand stars, with estimates varying from around 300,000 to over half a million. Compared to the stars in the neighbourhood of the Sun, the stars of the M13 population are more than a hundred times more densely packed. They are so close together that they sometimes collide and produce new stars.

6.10. Podyjska dark sky area

that evening I took a lot of risks and even though I threw away a lot of photos because of the clouds I fulfilled another dream Pleiades with clouds in interstellar space the photo is only over an hour of data to be exact 4440 seconds another more than an hour was spoiled by the clouds but still I am satisfied with the universe which is really not as dark place as people think.

 

I have to thank Martin for advice on how to process it as best and as honestly as possible even though we haven't met physically yet he really moved me a lot.

 

The night sky with its beauty and mystery has attracted me since ancient times, but when you just lie there, watch the stars above your head and your eyes gradually get used to the darkness you gradually see not only planes but also satellites, meteors and all that noise you are just amazed.

The universe doesn't have to rush anywhere. Seeing the peace even in the hustle and bustle helps a person but at the same time scares him how small he is compared to it.

 

Unfortunately, we also ruin this view with the light around us and that's why I'm glad I live where there are still relatively dark skies here and there.
