Hubble Unveils a Tapestry of Dazzling Diamond-Like Stars
A 212 Hour Exposure of Orion : The constellation of Orion is much more than three stars in a row. It is a direction in space that is rich with impressive nebulas. To better appreciate this well-known swath of sky, an extremely long exposure was taken over many clear nights in 2013 and 2014. After 212 hours of camera time and an additional year of processing, the featured 1400-exposure collage spanning over 40 times the angular diameter of the Moon emerged. Of the many interesting details that have become visible, one that particularly draws the eye is Barnard’s Loop, the bright red circular filament arcing down from the middle. The Rosette Nebula is not the giant red nebula near the top of the image – that is a larger but lesser known nebula known as Lambda Orionis. The Rosette Nebula is visible, though: it is the red and white nebula on the upper left. The bright orange star just above the frame center is Betelgeuse, while the bright blue star on the lower right is Rigel. Other famous nebulas visible include the Witch Head Nebula, the Flame Nebula, the Fox Fur Nebula, and, if you know just where to look, the comparatively small Horsehead Nebula. About those famous three stars that cross the belt of Orion the Hunter – in this busy frame they can be hard to locate, but a discerning eye will find them just below and to the right of the image center. via NASA

Triangle UFO Sighting West Virginia March 2016
A car enthusiast may have captured a triangular UFO on his dashcam, experts claimed. Grainy footage allegedly shows a faint UFO passing above West Virginia at the beginning of March.The unusual object was captured as the man, who was testing a new vehicle, drove down a state highway around 1am.
The UFO is barely visible [but] you can see some faint outlines of what look like a red coloured outline which is in a triangular shape. There are definite circular objects underneath.
