The Sun in h-alpha taken on the morning of Saturday, August 21, 2022. Conditions were very good: seeing (i.e., atmospheric turbulence) good, transparency outstanding, and excellent solar activity (over 200 GB of footage came out). This image depicts the sunspot group AR3078 close to the edge surroun...

The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, is an emission nebula visible in the constellation Cassiopeia and located about 11,000 light-years from us. It is a cloud of interstellar gas stretching about 10 light-years excited by a huge central star, 45 times more massive than our Sun and which has sh...
