US citizens, if you have not already done so, please vote tomorrow (November 8), and if at all possible, do not vote for any clowns. Thank you.
@AstroKatie This will always be my favorite eclipse description!

๐ŸŒŽ๐ŸŒ“๐ŸŒž <-- solar eclipse

Ok, prepare to feast your eyes on this spooky image we've just released at ESO: the Vela supernova remnant, the ghostly remains of a massive star that went out with a bang some 11,000 years ago.

You can find more information here: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2214/

including links to the full resolution version with 554 megapixels!

ESO captures the ghost of a giant star

A spooky spider web, magical dragons or wispy trails of ghosts? What do you see in this image of the Vela supernova remnant? This beautiful tapestry of colours shows the ghostly remains of a gigantic star, and was captured here in incredible detail with the VLT Survey Telescope, hosted at the European Southern Observatoryโ€™s (ESOโ€™s) Paranal site in Chile.
