A dazzling capture of vivid space-scape by Casey Good. It spans across nebula rich star fields along the plane of our Milky Way. To the north lies the royal northern constellation Cepheus. To the left of centre is (sh) 155 — the Cave Nebula. At VDB 155 at lower right are the Dusty blue reflection nebulae.

Galaxy Wars: M81 and M82 

These two galaxies are far far away, 12 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Great Bear. On the left, with grand spiral arms and bright yellow core is spiral galaxy M81, some 100,000 light-years across. On the right marked by red gas and dust clouds, is irregular galaxy M82. The pair have been locked in gravitational combat for a billion years. Their last go-round lasted about 100 million years and likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in the richness of M81's spiral arms. M82 was left with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic the galaxy glows in X-rays. In the next few billion years, their continuing gravitational encounters will result in a merger, and a single galaxy will remain.

Through hardships, to the stars 🌌

My proudest shot.

By: @emspectrumimaging

Me and my favorite humans embarked on an adventure to moab to camp for 4 days. I came out here with an idea of what I wanted to do, see, and accomplish. I had no idea how blown away I would be, and how much I needed this. We spent the day hiking and swimming in the most beautiful watering hole I've ever seen, checked out the colorado river, and saw the most vivid sunset in the middle of a giant Arch. All smiles, awestruck by the beauty of it all. Once nightfall rolled around, we packed up a bunch of gear and went back to the arches for some astrophotography under the Arches, a bucket list I've had for sooo long. The experience was so surreal, we had the entire park to ourselves and stayed till 4AM because it was just SO FUCKIN FUN AND BEAUTIFUL. Incredibly grateful to have the greatest people in my life who are always down to pack up and venture out into the unknown. Y'all support my crazy visions and I'll love you forever for that.

Annular or the Ring Of Fire solar eclipse is tomorrow

The time of maximum eclipse, when that "ring of fire" event happens, will be at 2:40 a.m. EDT (0640 GMT) Sunday, June 21, when the moon crosses into the center of the sphere of the sun, from Earth's perspective. The eclipse starts at 11:45 p.m. EDT Saturday, June 20 (0345 GMT Sunday) and ends at 5:34 a.m. EDT (1034 GMT) June 20, according to NASA.

Regions in the path of visibility include the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, the Red Sea, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Gulf of Oman, Pakistan, India, China, Taiwan, the Philippine Sea (south of Guam), northern Australia and the north Pacific Ocean.
