Nestled among the vast clouds of star-forming regions like this one lie potential clues about the formation of our own solar system.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope features AFGL 5180, a beautiful stellar nursery located in the constellation of Gemini (the Twins).
At the center of the image, a massive star is forming and blasting cavities through the clouds with a pair of powerful jets, extending to the top right and bottom left of the image. Light from this star is mostly escaping and reaching us by illuminating these cavities, like a lighthouse piercing through the storm clouds.
Stars are born in dusty environments and although this dust makes for spectacular images, it can prevent astronomers from seeing stars embedded in it. Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) instrument is designed to capture detailed images in both visible and infrared light, meaning that the young stars hidden in vast star-forming regions like AFGL 5180 can be seen much more clearly.

Treasures of Greenwich Maritime Museum
It began life as a school for the children of Seafarers in 1807. It was also the home to a naval-based art gallery but it wasn’t until 1927 when a public appeal was launched to bring the dream into reality.
Created in 1934 under the National Maritime Act and completed in 1937. It was officially opened by King George VI on the 27th April.
Greenwich has had many associations with the sea. From Roman settlement, the Royal Navy has strong ties with Greenwich, to the setting up of the Royal Observatory in 1675. It has associations with navigational instruments and astronomical study. Importantly Greenwich was been the site of GMT and Prime Meridian since 1884.
It’s fitting that they should build this magnificent Museum here, celebrating Britain’s history at sea. It has more than 2m items stored there. There are Paintings, scientific instruments, maps, manuscripts and ship’s models, not to mention a huge amount of other items.
Sir James Caird, a notable shipbuilder was the major donor, he lived from 1864-1954 and it is estimated that he donated £1.5m to the Museum. Each year the Museum presents a medal named after its main benefactor, this practice started in 1984. Two recipients Sir David Attenborough and Robert ‘Bob’ Ballard adorn the list of notable people awarded the medal. In 1937 a statue to Caird was sculpted by the very talented William Reid Dick and is situated in the Rotunda. Sir Edwin Lutyens designed statue and plinth.
A major renovation of the Galleries took place in 1999. It centred round the Neptune Court and was designed by Rick Mather Architects.
It is a great museum to visit, so much to see.
I have tickets to a Charles Lloyd Concert at the Musical Instrument Museum. I am a member. I wanted to familiarize myself with the Museum before the concert so I toured it. It is an incredible treasure in my backyard. A target rich environment for photographers.

MIM began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM's founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. A focus on the guest experience shaped every aspect of the museumâs development. From the beginning, our goal has been to deliver a musical experience that is enriching, inspiring, interesting, and fun.
Today, MIM has a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 world countries and territories. The galleries reflect the rich diversity and history of many world cultures. But music and instruments also show us what we have in common a thought powerfully expressed in our motto, MUSIC IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL.
MIM's immersive exhibits foster an appreciation of diverse cultures and the craftsmanship and traditions of instrument makers from the past to the present. A visit to MIM is also about experiencing the sensory nature of music and how it affects our emotions. Through state-of-the-art, interactive media, guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds, and observe them being played in their original contexts.

Pictured here is the 150-foot solar tower atop Mt. Wilson (at sunset). This instrument has been regularly observing the sun since 1912. This site is at an elevation of 5712 feet (1742 meters).
I've been playing the guitar for almost 7 years now. I don't play as often as I did when I started but I still enjoy it when I have the time :)

A young beautiful lady goes along the street on windy and snowy winter day. She studies her tablet PC to be on the right course. A good example of instrumental navigation in storm. Candid street photo or a portrait of the pretty young woman. May the happiness be with her.

I meant to have my granddaughter pose with her trumpet while we were in Phoenix. I remembered that when we were several hundred miles down the road. So instead I went to our neighborhood clubhouse for the piano as soon as we reached home. Considered trying my friend who has an accordion but after a 1,200 mile road trip, I conceded!

Take March 4, 2022 for musical instrument
Quan tinc la sort de poder anar a un concert, a un bon concert, si puc intent demanar permís per treure alguna imatge. És la meva manera de poder fruir encara més de la música en directe i del moment.
Fa poc vaig poder anar a una concert a la casa de Cultura de les Bernardes de Salt i vaig fer el que em va fer sentir molt bé, fer fotos als grans músics que hi tocaven.
Un moment determinat van quedar la cantant i el pianista, els altres van sortir. Vaig aprofitar el moment per apropar-me a l'escenari i fer alguna imatge diferent, de detalls que m'agraden.
Cara a cara vaig veure uns dels instruments de vents que tocava un dels músics i vaig pensar que fer-ne un detall també era una manera de fer un petit homenatge al músic, a la música i al moment que estava vivint.
El resultat fou aquest, potser un altre estona us posi els músic i l'entrega que vam anar mostrant a cada instant.
Jo només és hi dic, moltes gràcies per fer-me disfrutar.
