15 minutes until midnight in Porjus, Sweden. Beautiful Christmas auroras are minutes away! Crossing my fingers we see the same at mid-latitudes in the U.S.!

Day 24 of the 2024 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: An Energetic Stellar Nursery. This new image from the James Webb Space Telescope features the young star cluster NGC 602, near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, about 200,000 light-years away. www.theatlantic.com/photo/2024/1...
A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-colored gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. (ESA / Webb, NASA & CSA, P. Zeidler, E. Sabbi, A. Nota, M. Zamani)

Here is a nice mushroom
A single Mycena mushroom has its cap illuminated by autumn sunlight where it grows on a dark log against yellow forest undergrowth

The Carina Nebula
The Carina Nebula or Eta Carinae Nebula is a large, complex area of bright and dark nebulosity in the constellation Carina, located in the Carina–Sagittarius Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is approximately 8,500 light-years from Earth.

This bird will not put up with any nonsense.

Northern Pygmy-Owl, Washington state

#birds #owls 🌿
A small, round bird with piercing yellow eyes and a finely speckled head rests on a delicate branch. Its rich brown and white feathers are soft and textured, blending seamlessly with the muted, natural backdrop. The bird's intense gaze conveys a quiet yet commanding presence in the serene environment.

The closest known black hole to Earth is just 1,560 light-years away.

isn’t it crazy that this stuff is just out there?
Three bright stars with diffraction spikes shine near the center-right of the image, illuminating nearby clouds that glow in pale blue. The clouds darken at the edges of the image, and are dotted with smaller stars, some also with diffraction spikes. Clouds of gas and dust with many stars. The clouds form a flat, blue background toward the bottom, and become thicker and smokier toward the top. Stars on one side light the nebula. A thick arc of gas and dust reaches around from the bottom-right corner of the image toward the top-left corner. It begins as a dark and obscuring cloud at bottom right and gradually becomes brightly lit by many stars at the upper left. Other large, foreground stars lie between the nebula and the viewer. A portion of the young star-forming region Serpens Nebula. It’s filled with wispy orange and red layers of gas and dust, and within that orange dust, there are several small red plumes of gas that extend from the top left to the bottom right, at the same angle. There are wispy blue filaments of glass in the bottom right corner of the image. Small points of light are sprinkled across the field, brightest sources in the field have extensive eight-pointed diffraction spikes that are characteristic of the Webb Telescope. Hundreds of stars and galaxies in varying shapes, sizes and colors on a black background. Two of the largest, most prominent stars can be found in the top left quadrant and near the bottom right edge, respectively. They are tinged with blue and have an eight-point diffraction spike pattern. Near the center of this image is the ZS7 system, made up of a merger between two galaxies and their black holes. The ZS7 system is not easily seen by the naked eye in this image, as it looks like very small red dots.
