Starship Asterisk*

Amazing how much the view changes from visible
light to infrared li9ght! I like both views!

Amazing what a little jiggle or an upside down tree can do!

More than you can shake a stick at!
Sorry; When I first saw this I read a Mess of Messiers; I must be losing it!

Canes Venatici,would not open
! think; IMHO; M51 looks like an ear!

Wow; amazing!

There's a lot of junk in orbit from these comets that come and visit
the solar system! I'm just glad that they are very small!

Moon & Jupiter conjunction: good night to go skygazing! Kitty is skygazing!

Pelican's Future???? Pretty kitty! I've seen these as far inland as Platte County here in Nebraska at Lake North!

An oldie, but a goodie!

Robin's egg! My dad loved the color for paint; why? I don't know! It
is a pretty color though! Maybe Robins were helping the easter
bunny! I think I've seen some black ones though! NGC1360; largest robin egg of all time!

Wow! 4 super moons in 3 mo.'s; that's more than I would suspect.
They sure are neat!

Beautiful spiral Aurora! I've never seen one so
fancy! Me thinks he got his head caught in a blender!

AS11-40-5872HR1024.jpg I remember my wife and I went to a sci-fi movie when they reported landing on the moon! That was a big moment back in those days! I could never understand why we quit pursuing lunar exploration after that! :roll: 82868958_3413326812070702_8997963657715384320_n.jpg Going for a...

All the Oh's and Aw's I hah for the beautiful Hubble photos will give
way to the beauty from the JWST!

Galaxies eat each other; yet there are so many of them.

Nice!

Be still my heart!!! There are many, many, MANY beautiful and amazing images that have been made available for viewing with more coming all the time. While I oohhh and ahhhh over most of them, my heart belongs to the Eagle Nebula. I first saw The Pillars of Creation on an ABC news program on Hubble...

Too bad a meteor flash lasts for only a few seconds; very pretty! What you looking at; kitty cat?
