La nébuleuse du Papillon est une « nébuleuse bipolaire », ce qui, comme l'explique l'ESA, signifie « qu'elle possède deux lobes qui s'étendent dans des directions opposées, formant les “ailes” du papillon ».

Observée dans de nombreuses longueurs d'onde lumineuses, comme la lumière optique et le proche infrarouge par Hubble, la nébuleuse du Papillon ressemble véritablement à un papillon.

C'est vraiment époustouflant !!!🤔

°°°°°°°°°°

The Butterfly Nebula is a “bipolar nebula,” which, as ESA explains, means “that it has two lobes that spread in opposite directions, forming the ‘wings’ of the butterfly.”

When viewed in many wavelengths of light, such as optical and near-infrared light by Hubble, the Butterfly Nebula really does look like a butterfly.

It’s really stunning !!!🤔

“And you walk, wet streets

Tryin' to remember

All the wild night breezes

In your memory ever

And everything looks so complete

When you're walkin' out on the street

And the wind catches your feet

Sends you flyin', cryin'

Ooo-woo-wee!

Wild night is calling, alright

Oooo-ooo-wee!

Wild night is calling”

Van Morrison, from his song “Wild Night”

Electric Threads of the Lightning Spaghetti Nebula

Cette image à spectre complet de la nébuleuse Spaghetti révèle la nature faible et insaisissable de ce rémanent de supernova (SNR), caché derrière un vaste nuage de poussière qui obstrue sa lumière d'émission. Pour améliorer son attrait visuel, Shaoyu Zhang a consacré un temps considérable à la capture des données OIII, intensifiant les teintes bleues et vertes, tout en permettant aux SII et H-alpha de prendre en charge l'étirement de la plage dynamique élevée pour plus de profondeur.

°°°°°°°°°°

This full-spectrum image of the Spaghetti Nebula unveils the faint and elusive nature of this supernova remnant (SNR), hidden behind a vast cloud of dust that obstructs its emission light. To enhance its visual appeal, Shaoyu Zhang dedicated considerable time to capturing OIII data, intensifying the blue and green hues, while allowing SII and H-alpha to support high dynamic range stretching for added depth.

On dit souvent que « les goûts et les couleurs, ça ne se discute pas » parce que les goûts personnels et les préférences esthétiques ne se choisissent pas selon des critères rationnels objectifs.

Chaque individu a ses propres goûts qui sont subjectifs et indépendants de toute vérité ou logique. C’est donc inutile et vain d’essayer de convaincre quelqu’un que ses goûts sont bons ou mauvais, car il n’y a pas de raison absolue pour trancher sur ces questions. Cette expression, issue du latin médiéval « de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum », souligne que les préférences personnelles sont essentiellement une question de ressenti individuel et d’affection, non de faits ou de vérité universelle .

En philosophie esthétique, cela se réfère au fait que le plaisir esthétique est fondé sur la sensation subjective (le « aïsthésis »), donc on ne peut pas se tromper sur un goût personnel, même s’il peut y avoir erreur sur une appréciation factuelle liée à cet objet. Par exemple, quelqu’un peut aimer une couleur ou un plat, mais on ne peut pas dire qu’il a « faux goût » parce que c’est une expérience personnelle.

C’est une liberté individuelle inscrite dans la nature humaine que chacun ait ses propres goûts, sans qu’il soit demandeur d’une discussion ou d’une justification rationnelle .

°°°°°°°°°

It is often said that “there is no accounting for tastes and colors” because personal tastes and aesthetic preferences are not chosen according to objective rational criteria.

Each individual has their own tastes, which are subjective and independent of any truth or logic. Therefore, it is useless and futile to try to convince someone that their tastes are good or bad, since there is no absolute reason to settle such matters. This expression, originating from the medieval Latin phrase de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum, emphasizes that personal preferences are essentially a matter of individual feeling and affection, not facts or universal truth.

In aesthetic philosophy, this refers to the fact that aesthetic pleasure is based on subjective sensation (the “aísthēsis”), so one cannot be mistaken about a personal taste, even though there may be an error in a factual judgment related to the object. For example, someone might like a certain color or a dish, but it cannot be said that they have “bad taste” because it is a personal experience.

t is an individual freedom inherent in human nature for everyone to have their own tastes, without the need for discussion or rational justification.
