Ah, that explains why there had been so little activity in this thread!

Absolutely stunning image, Jac! Amazing! Gorgeous! Incredible!!! :shock: :D 🤩 🥳

It's a pity we have [b][i][size=110]two[/size][/i][/b] threads for the APOD of November 4, 2024. I wonder if someone can fix it?

Edit: Jac, since my pareidolia is in top form, have you seen the "Green Man" in the Orion Nebula?

It is incredible! That was the Orion Nebula. And it’s wild to think that there’s so much star formation right in our galaxy. It's why you like snakes and I get it, but for me it’s the beauty of the cosmos. I just can’t get over seeing images like this. Thanks for sharing!

The Orion Nebula is such a classic, but I totally get what Ann means about feeling a bit oversaturated with it! Every new image just seems to showcase the same beauty.

I wonder why does it look like a flare on a red parachute?

I've seen so many pictures of the Orion Nebula that I'm getting a bit tired of them. :| But it is still fun to look at details in the nebula! :D

So thank you for this image, Fényes Lóránd! But I've got to ask you something. Your name in the caption is linked to more of your images, and I always love to see more images by an astrophotographer who has produced an image that became an APOD.

Unfortunately, you post your images on Instagram, and I don't have Instagram! That means that I can only see twelve of your images, and I can't enlarge them, because I can't log in!

Personally I would be particularly interested in seeing a larger version of your picture of galaxy NGC 4216 with recent supernova SN 2024gy. I'm also really interested in your picture of the Siamese Twins galaxies in Virgo, NGC 4567 and NGC 4568, because they are rather rarely photographed.

Well anyway, thank you for your picture of the Orion Nebula! Looking forward to seeing you [b][i][size=110]maybe[/size][/i][/b] making your other images more accessible!

Ann
