We are getting ready for our next trip in the
RV. In the meantime, I thought I would
share a couple of pictures our daughter, Katie, took with her telescope from
her back yard.
These are of Orion's Nebula. In the case of Orion's Nebula, it is a gas
and dust cloud illuminated by lots of
stars that are young. It is like a star
nursery, so the gas and dust and other processes are leading to the birth of a new
star. Other Nebula are formed when a star
dies and ejects its outer layer of gas.
It is an amazing part of our existence most of us
barely understand!
And now down to earth, we went to Pensacola and
finally got a good picture of my pelican!
SEMPER PARATUS!
Love the photos ... all of them.
ReplyDeleteI wish I lived where I had a great view of the night skies. The photos are great
ReplyDeleteKatie's telescope must be so powerful. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteThe pelican is a hoot!
Like those Orion Nebula photos:))
ReplyDeleteYour favorite pelican? It's MY favorite pelican!!! :cP
ReplyDeleteKatie's photographs are wonderful. She must not only live in a dark place but have a great camera telescope set up. I would love that.
ReplyDeleteVery good photos of the nebula - you must watch Cosmos and some of the other space programs - they are fantastic. We are made of star stuff!
ReplyDeleteLove the pelican!!
ReplyDeleteI love this series of photos!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I’m sure you saw a lot of incredible night skies during one of your RV travels. This is what makes RV travels and camping special – you get to see travel at your own pace and be appreciate the nature up close without worrying about a place to stay in and flights to catch. Good luck with your future road adventures!
