Andrew McCarthy spent 12 hours with his telescope pointed at the center of a nebula in our galaxy to share this with us: a star forming region in the center of the heart of a #nebula. This stellar nursery is forming new stars, the gravity of which form complex structures in these hydrogen clouds.

@Bliss Astonishing!! Wow. Simply glorious.

@Mydoggyruss @Bliss Superb! ❤️

@Daren @Mydoggyruss

I thought it was. Imagine spending 12 hrs minding a telescope and camera to capture an image in deep space. The man has patience - so I thought I would share his work here.

@Bliss @Daren Thank you 😊 Sometimes, to help myself fall sleep, I think of images like these, of the vastness of the Universe, and the beauty of galaxies…and imagine what it might be like to soar in space.

@Mydoggyruss @Bliss Then may I introduce you to: https://youtube.com/@sea_space

“I make chilled out videos about all things space-related.”

@Daren @Bliss Thank you!!! I usually watch true-crime documentaries and shows about serial killers before bed. This is probably a better choice 😂

@Mydoggyruss @Daren OMG!!!
Deep dive down the rabbit hole!

Send a search party if I'm not back in a week!
Thank you!!!
