Here's to celebrate the end of my first term as a PhD Researcher! 🔭 🎉

This is the Pismis 24 star cluster as seen by the JWST, processed by me! It is located some 6,500 light years away, and it's part of the NGC-6357 nebula.

A gas cloud seen in infrared light. Near the upper-centre part of the image, a pillar-like structure, just like a finger, can be seen, with a young star at the tip of it. The gas composing the cloud appears in red and orange colours. From top left to top right, a veil of gas can also be spotted, in beige and red colours. It is in the background of that cloud. Dozens of stars cna be spotted as well, with a big one on the centre-bottom part, carving around it the gas cloud thanks to its stellars winds.

1/ The Spaghetti Nebula (Simeis 147, Sh2-240) is what remains of a supernova and the second project which, up to now, had been on my list of “black beasts” — targets I considered impossible to capture under my sky — that I have finally brought home after a three-year battle. ⬇️

The fascinating Spaghetti Nebula (Simeis 147, Sh2-240), remains of a supernova explosion, as it's taken form my terrace. A comparison between the Spaghetti Nebula’s apparent size and the full Moon helps us understand how huge some deep-sky objects can look in our sky—if they were visible to the naked eye. A comparison between the images I’ve captured from 2022 to today clearly shows the huge progress I’ve made over these years, thanks to better equipment and the experience I’ve gained.
