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.

Crab Nebula, zoomed in.
This is Rosette Nebula — which got its nickname from its close resemblance to a flower in bloom. It's the Perseus Arm of the galaxy, about a 130 light-years-wide nebula that hosts a club of more than 10,000 young stars.

Saturn is nestling close to Jupiter this week, in an event known as the Great Conjunction that occurs regularly, aligning these two gas giants every twenty years or so. Skywatchers can catch this once in a decades cosmic marriage in the early predawn hours.

Our sun is entering into a sleepy state of inactivity— a recurring phenomenon known as Solar Minimum.
A period of minimal solar activity, during which the surface solar movement diminishes, resulting in a trough in solar eruptions and coronal mass ejections (CME) activities. Though it is a period of (relative) calm for the otherwise seething ball of energy, it doesn't hold any consequence(s) for us, as Earthlings. Sun, as we know it, will remain the same.
Jupiter and its faint rings– known as the Jovian ring system , as seen through infrared.
There’s a lot of stuff I never posted because it “wasn’t good enough”, but I’ve honestly realized since then that even things I’m not particularly proud of usually make at least one or two people happy- so here’s one of those, a slightly revamped picture that I never bothered to post when I made it
some watercolor art I did in 2020.
