Comparing the same part of the autumn Milky Way in blue and near-infrared light.

The first photo is in near-infrared, and the second is blue (from last night).

Near-infrared is less affected by interstellar dust and can 'see into' thick dust more than blue light.

This is a continuation of:

Gazing into the abyss of the autumn Milky Way between Perseus and Camelopardalis.

This monochrome image was taken in blue light, which accentuates the presence of interstellar dust.

The first image was plate solved, and you can see the results here:

The second image is a crop of the first image, centered on the darkest dust clouds where stars are almost completely absent...at least in blue light. (Infrared would be a different matter.)

The darkest clouds are Barnard nebulae 9, 11, 12, and 13.

The 3rd and 4th graphics show some objects in the frame, and the location of the photo in the larger context of the autumn sky.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Hubble Images a Peculiar Spiral

A beautiful but skewed spiral galaxy dazzles in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image.

The galaxy, called Arp 184 or NGC 1961, sits about 190 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation #Camelopardalis (The Giraffe).

NGC 1501 Blue Oyster Nebula

The Blue Oyster is a planetary nebula, representing an aging star that has shed its outer layers. Unlike the other planetary nebula, however, the central star of the Blue Oyster is not a typical white dwarf, but has a
spectra more like a Wolf-Rayet Star.  In photographs, the magnitude 14.5 central star suggests a pearl inside a blue oyster.
