This is Nova, our black rescue bun, sporting her Santa Xmas cape and laying on her fleece bed in front of our xmas tree in the run up to Xmas.
I took this on the same day as the similar shot of Marble. Nova is our super shy, bun. Who is bonded with Marble, our super special deaf bun. She tends to stand guard over him all night while we sleep, and sleep in the day when we are around - even though he is literally as safe as houses. It is nice to see, and see them snuggled up together. Just hope my wife doesn't read this.. lol.

My DQS13 mini finally finished and quilted! Big name for a little quilt.
Question, is it common (or just good manners) to label a swap quilt? This is my first.
Between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, a supernova exploded in the constellation Cygnus, the Swan. It was 10 times as large as our sun, and would have been visible even during the daytime. Today it has the formal designation Cygnus Veil NGC6979. The fragments of the supernova are still visible (you have to be determined) and expanding at the rate of 932,000 miles per hour. The visible portion of the Veil is 130 light years across, but because it is 2,500 light years away, it appears to be the size of 6 full moons placed side by side. Despite its large size, it is faint, and cannot be seen by the naked eye or with the aid of binoculars.
It took me 3 nights, in 3 different wilderness areas to gather 95 frames, each with a 5 minute exposure. I prefer to go to wilderness areas to shoot in Bortle 1 or 2 areas--very dark night skies, to capture stars with the highest possible contrast of stars and empty sky. PixInsight, a processing program for astronomers, was used to stack the frames (reduce them to 1) and reduce noise. Final processing was done with Photo Shop and Topaz Denoise.

Bit of a self-portrait, that's me holding the umbrella. Long exposure shot of wire wool burning, illuminated with a LED light with a cheap plastic blue filter fitted to it.

If this is indeed the supernova, it has faded considerably. Forty minute exposure with a WO 103 Zenithstar and QHY 268C camera.
This image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, shows the supernova remnant SNR 0509-68.7, also known as N103B (top of the image). N103B was a Type Ia supernova, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud – a neighbouring galaxy of the Milky Way. Owing to its relative proximity to Earth, astronomers observe the remnant to search for a potential stellar survivor of the explosion.
The orange-red filaments visible in the image show the shock fronts of the supernova explosion. These filaments allow astronomers to calculate the original centre of the explosion. The filaments also show that the explosion is no longer expanding as a sphere, but is elliptical in shape. Astronomers assume that part of material ejected by the explosion hit a denser cloud of interstellar material, which slowed its speed. The shell of expanding material being open to one side supports this idea.
The gas in the lower half of the image and the dense concentration of stars in the lower left are the outskirts of the star cluster NGC 1850, which has been observed by Hubble in the past [heic0108].

Edited NOIRLab image (reduced in size to get Flickr to upload it) of the Vela supernova remnant.
Original caption: This colorful web of wispy gas filaments is the Vela Supernova Remnant, an expanding nebula of cosmic debris left over from a massive star that exploded about 11,000 years ago. This image was taken with the Department of Energy-fabricated Dark Energy Camera (DECam), mounted on the US National Science Foundation's VÃctor M. Blanco 4-meter Telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. The striking reds, yellows, and blues in this image were achieved through the use of three DECam filters that each collect a specific color of light. Separate images were taken in each filter and then stacked on top of each other to produce this high-resolution image that contains 1.3 gigapixels and showcases the intricate web-like filaments snaking throughout the expanding cloud of gas.

Glowing warmly against the dark backdrop of the Universe, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows an irregular galaxy called UGC 12682. Located approximately 70 million light-years away in the constellation of Pegasus (The Winged Horse), UGC 12682 is distorted and oddly-structured, with bright pockets of star formation.
In November 2008, 14-year-old Caroline Moore from New York discovered a supernova in UGC 12682. This made her the youngest person at the time to have discovered a supernova. Follow-up observations by professional astronomers of the so-called SN 2008ha showed that it was peculiarly interesting in many different ways: its host galaxy UGC 12682 rarely produces supernovae. It is one of the faintest supernovae ever observed and after the explosion it expanded very slowly, suggesting that the explosion did not release copious amounts of energy as usually expected.
Astronomers have now classified SN 2008ha as a subclass of a Type Ia supernova, which is the explosion of a white dwarf that hungrily accretes matter from a companion star. SN 2008ha may have been the result of a partially failed supernova, explaining why the explosion failed to decimate the whole star.

Another in the "cars of tomorrow" series, this one in somewhat CS livery. I actually colored a green windscreen for this but it looked so bad in the photos that I decided to color a clear one in post-processing instead. A few challenges here due to the offset stud-width between the 8-wide front and 7-wide body but I think it came out well, how about you? As always, comments and constructive criticisms welcome, and thanks for looking!!
What a night to grab the camera and head off on a photography mission!!!
With the forecast looking good, Jay and I headed down South in the hope of a clear night and the Milky Way to be out. As we drove out of Sydney a few clouds started to roll in, but we pressed on anyway. We made our way down to Kiama to photograph Cathedral Rock under a clear night sky.
I love night photography as it usually involves a mission to get to the location and a little bit of the unknown in terms of what you end up with.
was watching the known universe on the national geographic channel and i swear that the CG supernova looked like an iris. the little strands...the ring of the shockwave..... the debris

Only 2 more weeks...what?
I started junior year this week. It's a bit stressful but I like my classes for the most part.
I have a three-day-weekend, so I think I'm going to spend it watching Doctor Who and sleeping. Oh, and doing homework (ew.)
This is weird, but it's literally the only thing I have energy for. Sorry guys.
Have a good weekend everyone!
This was the one I was really happy with. This is the best nightlight ever. Reminds me of those globes at the Planetarium!
Combined images from a Sloan set 2400 sec total integration. Quite close to the nucleus of the galaxy, barely split by iTelescope T11. Second brightest Supernova in sky on this date. Mag 13.2.
