SPACEMAS DAY 24 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

Merry Christmas Eve everyone 🎄🎅🏻☃️❄️🥰

Formed within the nebula cataloged as NGC 281, are the stars of open cluster IC 1590. The cluster's young, massive stars ultimately power the pervasive nebular glow. The eye-catching shapes looming in the featured portrait of NGC 281 are sculpted dusty columns and dense globules seen in silhouette, eroded by intense, energetic winds and radiation from the hot cluster stars. If they survive long enough, the dusty structures could also be sites of future star formation. Called the Pacman Nebula because of its overall shape, NGC 281 is about 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp composite image was made through narrow-band filters. It combines emission from the nebula's hydrogen and oxygen atoms to synthesize red, green, and blue colors. The scene spans well over 80 light-years.

Star Formation in the Pacman Nebula Image Credit & Copyright: Craig Stocks

Explanation: Look through the cosmic cloud cataloged as NGC 281 and you might miss the stars of open cluster IC 1590. Formed within the nebula, that cluster's young, massive stars ultimately power the pervasive nebular glow. The eye-catching shapes looming in the featured portrait of NGC 281 are sculpted dusty columns and dense Bok globules seen in silhouette, eroded by intense, energetic winds and radiation from the hot cluster stars. If they survive long enough, the dusty structures could also be sites of future star formation. Playfully called the Pacman Nebula because of its overall shape, NGC 281 is about 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp composite image was made through narrow-band filters. It combines emission from the nebula's hydrogen and oxygen atoms to synthesize red, green, and blue colors. The scene spans well over 80 light-years at the estimated distance of NGC 281.

NGC 281: Starless with Stars : In visible light the stars have been removed from this narrow-band image of NGC 281, a star forming region some 10,000 light-years away toward the constellation Cassiopeia. Stars were digitally added back to the resulting starless image though. But instead of using visible light image data, the stars were added with X-ray data (in purple) from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and infrared data (in red) from the Spitzer Space Telescope. The merged multiwavelength view reveals a multitude of stars in the region's embedded star cluster IC 1590. The young stars are normally hidden in visible light images by the natal cloud's gas and obscuring dust. Also known to backyard astro-imagers as the Pacman Nebula for its overall appearance in visible light, NGC 281 is about 80 light-years across. via NASA

Arviana Week (Day 6)

@arvianaweek

(sorry for the lateness, I had to do a lot of research...)

Okay, so as I was looking at the stars of Cassiopeia, I noticed a couple of small nebulas below the constellation; the Pacman and Dolphin Nebula.

In this [Alternate Universe]... Since Arven's thing was cooking with healthy ingredients, I've figured that his Nebula Task Force is "NGC-281". His outfit resembles the Mediterranean chef's uniform, the Uva Academy logo, and the colors of the Pacman Nebula.

My HC for Juliana was that she never felt right using male pronouns. Her Pokemon team never cared about that, all they cared about was her well-being (also in her past life, she had a deep connection with Pokemon via "Poke-tongue"). With that in mind (and the fact that dolphins share a "collective consciousness", I believe it makes sense for her to be a Nebula Task Force of "SH2-308".

The two would often visit each other at their bases and send messages to each other to lift each other's spirits. They would also make each other's lunches.

[For the accents, I used some of my old nail polish and wooden toothpicks.]

Inside the cosmic cloud cataloged as NGC 281 and you’ll find the stars of open cluster IC 1590. Formed within the nebula, the cluster’s young, massive stars ultimately power the nebular glow. The eye-catching shapes looming in the portrait of NGC 281 are dusty columns and dense silhouettes of Bok globules, eroded by intense winds and radiation from the hot cluster stars. If they survive long enough, the dusty structures could also be sites of future star formation. Otherwise known as the Pacman Nebula because of its overall shape, NGC 281 is about 10,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp composite image was made through narrow-band filters. It combines emission from the nebula's hydrogen and oxygen atoms to synthesize red, green, and blue colors. The scene spans well over 80 light-years.
