SPACEMAS DAY 3 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

The gorgeous spiral galaxy Messier 33 seems to have more than its fair share of glowing hydrogen gas. A prominent member of the local group of galaxies, M33 is also known as the Triangulum Galaxy and lies just 3 million light-years away. The portrait features M33's reddish ionized hydrogen clouds or HII regions. Sprawling along loose spiral arms that wind toward the core, M33's giant HII regions are some of the largest known stellar nurseries, sites of the formation of short-lived but very massive stars. Intense ultraviolet radiation from the luminous, massive stars ionizes the surrounding hydrogen gas and ultimately produces the characteristic red glow. In this image, broadband data were combined with narrowband data recorded through a hydrogen-alpha filter. That filter transmits the light of the strongest visible hydrogen emission line.

I don't talk about astronomy nearly enough, so let's change that!

One of the most groundbreaking developments in astronomy has been the absolutely mind-blowing work the James Webb Space Telescope has been putting out in a fraction of the time it took the old Hubble Space Telescope to produce similar work. Here are a couple of recent images I find particularly remarkable.

S1 LMC N79 – Dorado

Honestly, this image is just beautiful to look at. It’s even more breathtaking when you consider that this is just one cloud within this star-forming region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, which itself is an irregular galaxy located about 163,000 light-years from Earth. If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and find yourself a suitably dark place, you can gaze up and see this whole other galaxy as a milky blotch in the night sky.

You can read more about this image here.

A gravitationally lensed supernova in MRG-M0138 – Cetus

It's pretty wild seeing the immense force of gravity contained within these galactic clusters warp distant points of light in these visually striking ways. Each arc is a galaxy far beyond the cluster itself that allow us to peer further back in time. Sometimes these warped images mirror themselves on the complete opposite side of the cluster, like ripples on a pond. In the case of this distant supernova, the light emanating from that cataclysmic event is being reflected in such a way that it's reappearing further down the length of the arc, making it seem as though there are two supernovae happening when in fact they are the same.

what is a nebula? 

it may sound like a silly question, but when i was showing people pictures from james webb, i got multiple people ask me what a nebula is, so i thought i’d give a quick explanation! 

nebulae (or nebulas- both are correct) are massive clouds of gas and dust in space, which can stretch hundreds of light years across. these clouds are often known as “stellar nurseries,” as the gasses, over millions of years, coalesce into young stars due to gravitational forces. 

similarly, a planetary nebula (which, despite the name, has nothing to do with planets) is also a cloud of gas and dust. although, instead of being a nursery for young stars, it’s the gasses cast off of the outer layers of a dying star as it collapses. 

most nebulae are very far away, however, the orion nebula (located in the constellation orion) is visible to the naked eye, and appears as the sword in orion’s belt. 

here are some examples of regular nebulae:

Symbiosis changes

Alrighty, I apparently selected a week instead of a day for that poll. So I'm not going to wait. Energy barrier is out, stellar nursery and black hole are being merged into a single powerset. This will let me add in choices from both power sets and make some fun combinations. A few other changes will include the MC not being able to select eye color as it will be related to their powers and will look like shifting fields of stars.

I am also thinking of removing the physical choices as well, wings, claws, things like that as they don't really make much sense based on the MCs powers.

The actual names of the two powersets will now be the names of two of the MCs ultimate abilities. Stellar Nursery will have the MC creating a bunch of stars that go nova and based on the power the MC puts into it they could level a city.

Black hole is exactly what it sounds like with the MC creating a literal black hole and all the effects that would have just on a much, much, MUCH smaller scale, duh.

'STARLESS PILLARS'

by Jason Guenzel

The Eagle Nebula, home to the famous 'Pillars of Creation', from the Hubble Space Telescope, is nearly 7,000 lightyears away, and measures 70 light years across. This image of the giant stellar nursery was captured by Jason Guenzel, who used narrowband filters to accentuate layers of ionized gasses within the nebula. Noticeably absent from this stellar nursery image are the stars themselves. Guenzel removed the stars during photo post-processing in order to "let the eye wander unimpeded through the layers of nebulosity." He calls the finished piece "abstract art of the Cosmos."

Burning Bright

NGC 2467 A stellar Nursery in Puppis Image exposure: 90 MinutesImage Size:1.99º x 1.32ºImage date:2024-03-08 Against the stark blackness of interstellar space, the abundance of Milky Way stars are shining bright. In the middle, they seem to have caught alight, burning like a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Night. 4,420 light years away, the emission nebula of NGC 2467 forms a bright and colourful patch…

SPACEMAS DAY 6 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

It's a battle between stars and dust in the Carina Nebula and the stars are winning. More precisely, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Located in the Carina Nebula and inside a region known informally as Mystic Mountain, these pillars' appearance is dominated by opaque brown dust even though it is composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. Some of the dust pillars resemble torches, but instead of fire, they are illuminated by nearby stars. About 7,500 light-years away, the featured image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and highlights an interior region of Carina known as HH1066 which spans nearly a light year. Within a few million years, the stars will likely win out completely and the dust torches will completely evaporate.

The iconic Pillars of Creation, where new stars are forming within dense clouds of gas and dust. Pillars of Creation lies in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years away, in the Serpens constellation.
