I think that’s a space unicorn...

Sorry for such a late post tonight! Credit to NASA: Is there ever anything interesting to see in the direction opposite the Sun? Sometimes there is. Notable items include your own shadow, a shadow of the Moon during a total solar eclipse, a full moon -- in eclipse if the alignment's good enough, a full earth, planets at opposition, glints from planets, the gegenschein from interplanetary dust, the center of a rainbow, hall-of-mountain fogbows, an airplane glory, and something yet again different if your timing, clouds and Sun position are just right. This different effect starts with clouds near the Sun that are causing common crepuscular rays to stream through. In the featured rare image taken from an airplane in mid-April, these beams were caught converging 180 degrees around, on the opposite side of the sky from the Sun, where they are called anticrepuscular rays. Therefore, it may look like something bright is shining at the antisolar point near the image center, but actually it is reverse-shining because, from your direction, light is streaming in, not out. . . . . #space #spacex #sky #nasa #universe #astronomy #galaxy #photography #cosmos #astrophotography #apod #astrologypictureoftheday #astrology #planet #planets #moon #nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration #star #stars #galaxies #telescope #satellite #interstellar #astronaut #blackgirlmagic #nightsky #sunrise #sunset #spaceunicorn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMOM!! Credit to NASA: How do violent stars affect their surroundings? To help find out, astronomers created a 48-frame high-resolution, controlled-color panorama of the center of the Carina Nebula, one of the largest star forming regions on the night sky. The featured image, taken in 2007, was the most detailed image of the Carina Nebula yet taken. Cataloged as NGC 3372, the Carina Nebula is home to streams of hot gas, pools of cool gas, knots of dark globules, and pillars of dense dusty interstellar matter. The Keyhole Nebula, visible left of center, houses several of the most massive stars known. These large and violent stars likely formed in dark globules and continually reshape the nebula with their energetic light, outflowing stellar winds, and ultimately by ending their lives in supernova explosions. Visible to the unaided eye, the entire Carina Nebula spans over 450 light years and lies about 8,500 light-years away toward the constellation of Ship's Keel (Carina). . . . . #space #spacex #sky #nasa #universe #astronomy #galaxy #photography #cosmos #astrophotography #apod #astrologypictureoftheday #astrology #planet #planets #moon #nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration #star #stars #galaxies #telescope #satellite #interstellar #astronaut #blackgirlmagic #nightsky #sunrise #sunset #spaceunicorn

Credit to NASA: This close-up from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera shows weathered craters and windblown deposits in southern Acidalia Planitia. A striking shade of blue in standard HiRISE image colors, to the human eye the area would probably look grey or a little reddish. But human eyes have not gazed across this terrain, unless you count the eyes of NASA astronauts in the scifi novel The Martian by Andy Weir. The novel chronicles the adventures of Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded at the fictional Mars mission Ares 3 landing site corresponding to the coordinates of this cropped HiRISE frame. For scale Watney's 6-meter-diameter habitat at the site would be about 1/10th the diameter of the large crater. Of course, the Ares 3 landing coordinates are only about 800 kilometers north of the (real life) Carl Sagan Memorial Station, the 1997 Pathfinder landing site. . . . . #space #spacex #sky #nasa #universe #astronomy #galaxy #photography #cosmos #astrophotography #apod #astrologypictureoftheday #astrology #planet #planets #moon #nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration #star #stars #galaxies #telescope #satellite #interstellar #astronaut #blackgirlmagic #nightsky #sunrise #sunset #spaceunicorn

Credit to NASA: Today, the solstice is at 15:54 Universal Time, the Sun reaching the northernmost declination in its yearly journey through planet Earth's sky. A June solstice marks the astronomical beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the south. It also brings the north's longest day, the longest period between sunrise and sunset. In fact the June solstice sun is near the top, at the most northern point in the analemma or figure 8 curve traced by the position of the Sun in this composite photo. The analemma was created (video) from images taken every 10 days at the same time from June 21, 2018 and June 7, 2019. The time was chosen to be the year's earliest sunset near the December solstice, so the analemma's lowest point just kisses the unobstructed sea horizon at the left. Sunsets arranged along the horizon toward the right (north) are centered on the sunset at the September equinox and end with sunset at the June solstice. . . . . #space #spacex #sky #nasa #universe #astronomy #galaxy #photography #cosmos #astrophotography #apod #astrologypictureoftheday #astrology #planet #planets #moon #nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration #star #stars #galaxies #telescope #satellite #interstellar #astronaut #blackgirlmagic #nightsky #sunrise #sunset #spaceunicorn

Credit to NASA: Big, bright, beautiful spiral, Messier 106 dominates this cosmic vista. The nearly two degree wide telescopic field of view looks toward the well-trained constellation Canes Venatici, near the handle of the Big Dipper. Also known as NGC 4258, M106 is about 80,000 light-years across and 23.5 million light-years away, the largest member of the Canes II galaxy group. For a far away galaxy, the distance to M106 is well-known in part because it can be directly measured by tracking this galaxy's remarkable maser, or microwave laser emission. Very rare but naturally occurring, the maser emission is produced by water molecules in molecular clouds orbiting its active galactic nucleus. Another prominent spiral galaxy on the scene, viewed nearly edge-on, is NGC 4217 below and right of M106. The distance to NGC 4217 is much less well-known, estimated to be about 60 million light-years. . . . . #space #spacex #sky #nasa #universe #astronomy #galaxy #photography #cosmos #astrophotography #apod #astrologypictureoftheday #astrology #planet #planets #moon #nationalaeronauticsandspaceadministration #star #stars #galaxies #telescope #satellite #interstellar #astronaut #blackgirlmagic #nightsky #sunrise #sunset #spaceunicorn
