Join Us For A Special Star Party Live On Sunday, November 29th At 12:00 Pm EST! 

14.01.2021 — looking forward to the next semester! i’ve signed up for cs1 and although i have some cs experience outside of school, i’ve never taken an actual cs class before so i’m curious how it’ll go.

One of my favorite nebulae ♥♥♥ It looks so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

NGC 6357: Cathedral to Massive Stars via NASA https://ift.tt/31D4Lqn

How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.

now that most of us are at home, i thought this could be useful to the ones who aren't that used to learning material on their own and aren’t sure where to start, or which order of steps to follow. happy studying! 💗
