Die Sättigung der Aufnahme wurde verstärkt, um die Farben des Geländes hervorzu­heben. Hochländer und jüngere Krater bestehen aus hellem Anorthosit der Mondkruste. Die erstarrte Lava der Mare weist in den bläulichen Bereichen hohe Anteile von Titan und Eisen auf, während diese in den braunroten Gegenden seltener sind.

Took this photo on the night of 14 April 2026.
Jupiter can be seen in the top right-hand corner. More interesting is the ‘tail’. It was visible for about 15 minutes.
Is it a comet or a man-made object?

The Pacman Nebula
===============

NGC 281, the Pacman Nebula - a return to a familiar target in Cassiopeia. This time with a new setup and considerably more integration time, captured in the Hubble palette (HSO). The result is a view dominated by the warm red glow of ionized hydrogen and sulfur, punctuated by the brighter, subtly blue-grey core where the young star cluster IC 1590 drives the entire nebula's energy.

What fascinates me most about this object are the dark Bok globules - dense dust structures silhouetted against the glowing gas, slowly being eroded by the intense radiation from IC 1590. They look like they are being consumed, and in a sense they are. But deep inside their cold, shielded cores, gravity may be quietly winning - collapsing gas into new stars, born from the same clouds being stripped away around them.
