I like the Moon and sunflowers image. What a bouquet to hand over to the hostess, eh? And both the Moon and the sunflowers testify to the power of the Sun, but in separate ways.

The "upside down" Sagittarius image is also nice, and it is a reminder that up and down don't exist in space. As for the image itself, note the faint blue reflection nebulosity surrounding parts of the Lagoon.

Thank you Ann.

Dusty cough-cough serpent huh? cough. owlice, cough-cough, if Space is a cough, vaccuum, cough-cough, how come Space cough-cough, is so dusty?
Does someone have to cough-cough, turn it on?

beyond, the inside of a vacuum is always a very dusty place! Haven't you ever looked inside your vacuum?

M8: L' image of to the cloudy I find it lagoon beautiful to admire in this direction south north, because the structures are evidenced better more details. Sul web is one of the little images where the zone is looked at centers illuminated them.

I like the dusty serpents in Cepheus. There is actually a lot of star formation going on in Cepheus and there are several hot young stars there, but they hardly look blue at all because of all the dust between them and us reddening them. I'm glad to get to see a portrait of some of these reddening dust structure culprits!



Dusty red culprits among blue stars?

Ann
