Some nights don't need witnesses.
The pond remembered what the sky looked like before morning arrived, holding every constellation as if it had been entrusted with a secret. I stood quietly on the bank, afraid that even one ripple might send the stars back where they belonged.
For a little while, the universe existed twice. ✨🌌

M27 - dumbell nebula
This sphere of ionised (electrically excited) gas is expanding at a rate of 31kms per second after the collapse of the parent star about 14,500 years ago. It has collapsed to a white dwarf star whose radiation is illuminating the gas by ionisation.

Our sun will probably follow a similar path in 5 or 6 billion years, since it's not big enough to collapse into a black hole.

M27 dumbell nebula is around 1360 light years away in the constellation Vulpecula (fox). It was the first planetary nebula discovered, by Charles Messier in 1764.

Look up to the sky...

and realise that not all galaxies announce themselves. NGC 4236 is a vast spiral whose faint light has been traveling millions of years to reach us.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: #BryceCanyon in #Utah isn’t actually a #canyon – it’s a series of natural amphitheaters holding the world’s largest collection of #hoodoos, rock spires up to 60m tall that began forming 50 million years ago. 🏜️

The #park sits at 2,400m elevation, hosts #endangered species like the Utah #prairiedog and #California #condor, and became an International Dark Sky Park in 2019. 🌌

These 50-million-year-old giants are taller than the Statue of Liberty – and there are thousands of them | Discover Wildlife

Utah's Bryce Canyon isn’t a canyon at all, but a vast high plateau carved into numerous amphitheatres – and within these incredible rock formations there is life.

NGC 7635 - Bubble Nebula
Caldwell 11 is also known as the Bubble Nebula and is 7000 light years away in Cassiopeia. The bubble is formed by the stellar winds from a massive star which also illuminates the nearby giant molecular cloud.
