Hand-held with shutter setting to 'anti shock' mode [a combination of electronic and "normal" shutter], whatever that is. It is 8.00 pm and the sky is very clear. This is one of some 200 pictures I took trying various camera options and settings on my Olympus EM1 Mark III.
Thank you Terry for the generous use of your wonderful photo. The original can be seen at: www.flickr.com/photos/31148035@N03/3571449058/ I do not know that I believe it, but I like the idea that god is watching...why else would we misbehave so? This giclee was printed in a Limited Edition of 5 with 3/5 being exhibited at Three Ravens Gallery, 5718 Gilkey Ave, Edison, WA through mid-May.

WOW! This sunrise was not only spectacular to watch unfold, but I also made a neat discovery. If you look closely at the sky, you'll see a few stars. Except... they aren't all stars, they are planets.
The brightest star that has a reflection is Venus. Just below that is Mercury. Above them and to the right are Saturn and the star named Antares. Cool stuff right?
Description:
NGC 2359, famously known as Thor's Helmet Nebula, a celestial gem that resides approximately 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Canis Major. This cosmic gem, imaged with narrowband techniques, showcases the intricate dance of elements and forces that shape our universe. The nebula earned its dramatic moniker due to its striking resemblance to the legendary helmet worn by the Norse god of thunder, Thor, in modern artistic renditions. Though in mythology Thor never wore a winged helmet, it became synonymous with his name. However, beyond its mythical association, the nebula is a real-life spectacle of astrophysical wonders.
At its heart lies a Wolf-Rayet star, WR7, an extremely massive and hot star that expels its outer layers in a stellar wind, creating the breathtaking bubble-like structure we observe. The expelled material forms the nebula's intricate filaments and dynamic appearance. The intense radiation emitted by WR7 interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium, illuminating the nebula's features in a stunning display of cosmic artistry. The vibrant hues of red and blue in the image represent ionized hydrogen and oxygen, providing valuable insights into the elemental composition and temperature of the nebula.

iss065e033958 (May 12, 2021) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 65 Flight Engineer Megan McArthur services donor cell samples inside the Kibo laboratory module's Life Science Glovebox. The samples are being compared to cells on Earth so scientists can document the significant differences in microgravity. The Celestial Immunity study’s results may provide insights into new vaccines and drugs and advance the commercialization of space.

Some cosmic beauties
Remember : "Stars you seeing today may be dead million years back "
For example, light from the Andromeda galaxy (M31), the nearest large galaxy takes about 2.5 million years to reach us, so we are seeing what it looked like 2.5 million years ago.
My AI info said " Around 2.5 million years ago, several human ancestor species lived, including Australopithecus garhi and Homo habilis. This period also saw the emergence of the Homo genus from its australopithecine ancestors. Other species like Australopithecus africanus and an unnamed australopithecine species were also present "

Eu passei a acreditar que cada um de nós somos anjos enviados por Deus, mas quando somos atraídos pelo mundo, por suas paixões, vaidades e desejos, nos esquecemos de onde viemos, perdemos a inocência. Cabe a nós mesmos nos lembrarmos de nossa origem, o que muitas vezes parece ser difícil. Nossas memórias se perdem com o tempo, mas podemos sentir a essência de nossas asas dentro da alma. O cheiro da paz.
Nossa missão é ajudar os outros a se lembrarem. Os que se recusam a aceitar suas raízes. É um compromisso difícil, somos limitados pelo cérebro, conseguimos pensar apenas na lógica, no que vemos ou tocamos. Mas, se quisermos podemos sentir Jesus através de todos os sentidos do corpo humano.
Nós somos anjos, nada menos que a perfeição criada por Deus. Quebre-se. Rasgue-se. Liberte-se dessas escamas, é possível voar! Deixe suas asas crescerem, não as corte mais com as feridas da vida. Permita-se experimentar o sabor das nuvens, para que então possamos viver em paz, desfrutando desse mundo maravilhoso que Deus nos presenteou. Sorrindo sem máscaras. Amando sem julgamentos.
Entregue-se ao Amor.
