IC 418: The Spirograph Nebula
What is creating the strange texture of IC 418? Dubbed the Spirograph Nebula for its resemblance to drawings from a cyclical drawing tool, planetary nebula IC 418 shows patterns that are not well understood. Perhaps they are related to chaotic winds from the variable central star, which changes brightness unpredictably in just a few hours.

Pierwsza noc z M51. I zabawa z nową, lepszą wersją Sirila.

Dziś w nocy będę dalej zbierać materiał, bo już teraz wygląda zacnie (jak na ten sprzęt).
Et paf ! Heureux !

Jupiter looking at Earth
A Picasso-like face appears to emerge from the turbulent atmosphere in a phenomenon called #pareidolia, in which viewers spy faces and other recognizable objects within random patterns.

I'm sure you've all asked yourselves the question that used to keep me up at nights - "If the moon were transparent, what would an eclipse look like?" - right?
You never asked yourself that question? Why not?
Well, never mind, here is your answer. I commissioned the local mad scientist to create a moon transparenciser and a gravity gun to change the orbit to get a solar eclipse just where we wanted it.
We put it back afterwards, I'm sure no-one noticed. And the transparenciser wore off after a few minutes. But it was enough for me to get this photo.
