Using the Easter break to indulge in a guilty pleasure: catching up on “Jet lag: the game” during my spring cleaning.

It’s very comforting to see my nerdy YouTube hero from when I was a baby scientist, Tom Scott, masking up in public transport even though, according to him, he only had very mild symptoms when he caught COVID ❤️😷

The Orion #Nebula in Visible and #Infrared

The Orion Nebula, visible to the naked eye, is a vibrant mix of young stars, hot gas, and dust. This image combines visible and infrared light from Spitzer #Telescope, revealing shock waves and the Trapezium's bright stars. Spanning 40 light-years, it's 1500 light-years away in our #Galaxy's spiral arm.

Explanation:
The Great Nebula in Orion is a colorful place. Visible to the unaided eye, it appears as a small fuzzy patch in the constellation of Orion. Long exposure, multi-wavelength images like this, however, show the Orion Nebula to be a busy neighborhood of young stars, hot gas, and dark dust. This digital composite features not only three colors of visible light but four colors of infrared light taken by NASA's orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope as well. The power behind much of the Orion Nebula (M42) is the Trapezium - four of the brightest stars in the nebula. Many of the filamentary structures visible are actually shock waves - fronts where fast moving material encounters slow moving gas. The Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located about 1500 light years away in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

The Eagle #Nebula from Kitt Peak

The Eagle Nebula (M16) is a window into a star-forming region within a larger dust shell, 6,500 light-years away. Pillars and globules of dust house ongoing star formation, while young stars sculpt the nebula's landscape. This image from Kitt Peak shows M16 in three emitted colors.

The Busy Center of the Lagoon #Nebula

The Lagoon Nebula's heart showcases star birth, with two funnel clouds shaped by stellar winds and a bright star, Herschel 36. Dust walls obscure other stars. Temperature contrasts from these stars create shearing winds, possibly forming the funnels. This 15-light-year-wide Hubble image reveals M8, 5000 light-years away in Sagittarius.

Nebula, but if I only stuck with one color lmao

When the stars become so thick, they are as stratus in the night, only so, so much more beautiful. My own artwork, "Clouds of stars".
