@science.socialThe Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) with stars digitally removed to reveal its internal structure. Located 5,000 light-years away, this star-forming cloud shows intricate ridges and filaments sculpted by radiation and stellar winds. #space #astronomy #astrophysics
@science.socialPoint Reyes National Seashore offers a profound look at our place in the Milky Way. This view of the galactic disk highlights the need to preserve dark sky environments for astronomical research and education.
@science.socialNGC 7000, the North America Nebula, is a massive H II region in Cygnus. Spanning 100 light-years, its shape is defined by dust clouds creating the "Gulf of Mexico" silhouette, ionized by the binary star HD 199579.

@science.socialThe annual Perseid meteor shower often battles bright moonlight. In 2022, the Sturgeon Moon reduced visibility, but intense debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle still produced brilliant meteors against the lunar glow. #space #astronomy #astrophysics

@dryool.bsky.socialSo, this is *fanastic*: a #PeriodicTable explaining the #Astrophysics processes responsible for the elements!
There are more artificial elements than I thought, although I don't think my high school table had the #Rutherfordium to #Oganesson row on it.
@sophiejaggers.bsky.socialThe distinctive feature of Przybylski's Star is the predominance of many Ce Il lines in its spectrum. This means that this ion is highly overabundant.
For example, the abundance of Cell in the Sun is about 10,000 times lower!
