once again thinking about the fact that this is all just OUT THERE and we can only see it through the eyes of telescopes
The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center. A massive cloud of gas and dust is seen in dark, dusty red, with its outer portions a translucent, ethereal gray. Several stars and distant galaxies are scattered throughout the image. A circular-shaped nebula with a complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly on the left side of the image, are curtains of material glowing orange like fire. Interior to this outer shell is a ring of mottled filaments in bright pink, studded with clumps and knots. A greenish loop extends from the upper right of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green, and red appear throughout the image. The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula. The gas below the stars glows through ionization caused by intense ultraviolet radiation from the massive young stars within the cluster. The strong radiation and stellar winds from from these blazing, blue-white stars also pushes the nebular material outward, creating one of many low-density bubbles within NGC 6357.

Good morning BlueSky #photography folks. First post, have to share a good one from earlier this year. Manhattenhenge off the Tudor Bridge in NYC.
Sun setting directly between the buildings of New York City. The Empire State Building towers on the right side of the street.

I’m posting two identical photos, one on here and one on Twitter.

I’ve been on Twitter for 16 years, I’ve been on Bluesky for 25 days.

Which ones gonna get more likes and interactions?

What happens when put a photon trap on your driveway during the night? Why, glad you asked!

The Flaming Star Nebula in Auriga
🔭🧪 #astrophotography
A very deep red spiraling space nebula, with some complex purple structures at its center. There's also an immense number of stars, including and handful of prominent bright ones, including the triple-star system 16 Aurigae which glows in an orange color.

I am in the process of transitioning from that cesspool known as Twitter (I refuse to call it X). This is my first post on Blue Sky. I am still in shock from last week so I can only offer this image I took a couple of weeks ago from my backyard. The Horsehead Nebula. Helps keep the perspective!

Remember the eclipse back in April?

Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.
A scene with inky darkness. The moon blots out the sun and ring of fire appears in the sky. The horizon looks like sunset and the golden color reflects in the lake. Three people in the bottom right corner look up. They are in silhouette.
