This Is The Running Chicken Nebula! 🐤🐤🐤

This is the Waxing Gibbous Moon! 🌔🌔🌔

Yesterday, October 16th, was International Observe the Moon Night, which meant that Slooh’s telescopes were pointed at the beautiful Moon! Check out more resources to celebrate this exciting day here: https://www.space.com/international-observe-the-moon-night-2021 🤩🤩🤩

Explanation: What color is the Moon? It depends on the night. Outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, the dark Moon, which shines by reflected sunlight, appears a magnificently brown-tinged gray. Viewed from inside the Earth’s atmosphere, though, the moon can appear quite different. The featured image highlights a collection of apparent colors of the full moon documented by one astrophotographer over 10 years from different locations across Italy. A red or yellow colored moon usually indicates a moon seen near the horizon. There, some of the blue light has been scattered away by a long path through the Earth’s atmosphere, sometimes laden with fine dust. A blue-colored moon is more rare and can indicate a moon seen through an atmosphere carrying larger dust particles. What created the purple moon is unclear – it may be a combination of several effects. The last image captures the total lunar eclipse of 2018 July – where the moon, in Earth’s shadow, appeared a faint red – due to light refracted through air around the Earth. Today there is not only another full moon but a total lunar eclipse visible to observers in North and South America – an occurrence that may lead to some unexpected lunar colorings.

This is the Pleiades in culmination! ✨✨✨

Just a few weeks ago, this cluster culminated in the south - meaning that they reached their highest point and appeared its brightest. Thankfully, the telescopes were open briefly for me to take a quick picture! ♥♥♥

This is the Super Flower Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! ✨✨✨

Although the Slooh telescopes were off at the time of the eclipse itself, Slooh did provide a great livestream on Youtube that you can watch if you missed the event. The name “super moon” comes from how the Moon is located closer in its elliptical orbit to Earth, the name “flower moon” comes from how the super moon takes place in May, and the name “blood moon” shows its red color due to the Earth blocking the Sun’s light on the moon! 💖💖💖

This is the Pelican Nebula! 🦢🦢🦢

The molecular cloud of dark dust on the left of this image separates this nebula from the nearby North America Nebula. This nebula is quickly changing as newborn, hot stars ionize the gas and push it around, leading to its expansion! 💖💖💖
