Awesome Space Photos

[Secret Boots]

do you have any wonderful photos in shades of teal or blue?

Here's some that I have:

Messier 45 aka the Pleiades


NGC-1935


NGC-1999 aka the Cosmic Keyhole


NGC-346


Caldwell 92 (specifically the bottom-left corner, I can crop it if you need)


Hope these helped.

Real men aren't afraid to say Uranus.

Auroras (or aurorae, if you want to be fancy) on Uranus. All planets experience them, with varying strength and visibility.

I think any world with a substantial atmosphere and magnetic field does. It could also be the case with so-called brown dwarfs: red-hot worlds between a sun and a gas world.

Voyager 2's photo of Neptune had multiple color iterations that became more accurate as time went on.
From left to right: Original photo in 1989 with exaggerated color, 2016 color recalibration with minor enhancement, and true color recalibration in 2023.

A part of the Taurus Molecular Cloud, imaged by Hubble. Molecular clouds often contain many young stars; if any are present, the cloud is usually designated a stellar nursery.

Back in those early days of spaceflight, people involved with spacecraft used slide rules... because there was a lack of calculators.​
