#BigDipper must be the most famous #constellation

️ I chose to represent it entirely. It's made of #LedLights, a secondhand wooden #frame and pressed elder flowers and solanum

La #GrandeOurse doit être la constellation la plus célèbre

️ J'ai choisi de la représenter entièrement. Elle est faite de #Led, d'un #cadre en bois d'occasion et de #fleurs de sureau et de solanum pressées

English A wooden frame representing the big dipper whole constellation with small pressed flowers as the stars connected with white lines. There's a zoom in and when it zooms out the constellation is illuminated in the dark.

A long standing cosmic riddle, exemplified by two waltzing galaxies, hiding beyond Hydra.

A poetic graphic titled “The Penguin & the Egg” features a poem on the left and a color image from the James Webb Space Telescope on the right. The poem tells a whimsical tale of a cosmic penguin watching over a glowing egg, using imagery inspired by the interacting galaxies NGC 2936 and NGC 2937. The right side shows a bright, colorful image of the galaxies: a sweeping spiral shape (the “penguin”) arcs protectively over a glowing orb-like galaxy (the “egg”). The text below credits NASA for the image and provides the studio’s website: www.foxandthistle.studio.

Jordan & I are scheduled to do some recording today!

In the meantime, here is a view of #Centaurus A from #Chandra (and other sources)!

You can learn more about the #astronomy of the #constellation #Centaurus here: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/centaurus-cosmic-background/

:https://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2024/25th/more.html

From source link in toot: In this composite image, a supermassive black hole at the center of the Centaurus A galaxy shoots an enormous jet of particles into a star-packed sky. Here, Centaurus A resembles an inky purple cloud sitting atop a translucent red cloud. At the heart of the combined cloud structure is the black hole, a brilliant white dot that lights the clouds from within. The jet emerges from this dot, a speckled white and purple beam shooting toward our upper left. Surrounding the entire galaxy is a faint translucent blue bubble shape, which is most pronounced at our lower right. This bubble was created by the jets from the black hole. Both the jets and the bubble are detected by Chandra.

Here we have the #Perseus cluster and #Centaurus cluster from #Chandra

Want to learn more about the #constellations where these live?

Adapted from Visual Description from link in toot:

This release features composite images shown side-by-side of two different galaxy clusters, each with a central black hole surrounded by patches and filaments of gas. The galaxy clusters, known as Perseus and Centaurus, are two of seven galaxy clusters observed as part of an international study led by the University of Santiago de Chile.

In each image, a patch of purple with neon pink veins floats in the blackness of space, surrounded by flecks of light. At the center of each patch is a glowing, bright white dot. The bright white dots are black holes. The purple patches represent hot X-ray gas, and the neon pink veins represent filaments of warm gas.

While the images of the two galaxy clusters are broadly similar, there are significant visual differences. In the image of the Perseus Cluster on the left, the surrounding flecks of light are larger and brighter, making the individual galaxies they represent easier to discern. Here, the purple gas has a blue tint, and the hot pink filaments appear solid, as if rendered with quivering strokes of a paintbrush. In the image of the Centaurus Cluster on the right, the purple gas appears softer, with a more diffuse quality. The filaments are rendered in more detail, with feathery edges, and gradation in color ranging from pale pink to neon red.

This is Centaurus A aka NGC 5128 -- it didn't win Jordan's Gold Star, but

Centaurus A is 11 million LY away and contains the closest AGN to Earth

Hubble Space Telescope of Centaurus A. The background of the image looks like a dark storm cloud, while black and brown hued lanes of dust stretch from the top left to bottom right of the image. Stars and red patches of false-color are visible throughout the image.

Sky full of stars through the trees, Gauteng, South Africa. Bats whirling and scything through the night and the call of Hadida Ibises in the trees.

(If anyone can help me identify the constellation, I’d be really grateful. It’s just next to Orion.)

For #MythologyMonday -- how about the #Roman myth of the #constellation Cygnus?

The story goes that when Phaethon, the son of Helios, drove his father's chariot he lost control & Zeus/Jupiter had to kill him.

In the aftermath, Phaethon's lover, Cygnus, collected his bones to give him a proper funeral. The gods were so moved by this devotion, they put him in the night sky as a swan (who famously mate for life).
