Meteors and Milky Way Over Stonehenge
(Stacked exposure)
via the-wolf-and-moon
For #ThrowbackThursday I have the Milky Way above Laguna Meadows, photographed #OnThisDay in 2020 during a pleasant summer night in San Diego's higher elevation back country.
This is a composite of a 10-minute exposure for the foreground and ten exposures at 20s for the sky, stacked to reduce high ISO noise. At the end of civil twilight there was still some available light for the foreground.
One more Milky Way pic.. I waited until 2:38AM for this alignment, it looks like the mountain is spewing a Galaxy. LOL

New Research Bolsters Freaky Theory That #Earth Sits in a Giant Cosmic Void
This theory could finally solve one of the biggest mysteries in #cosmology.
The fact is, #space is likely peppered with bubbles of relative emptiness, and some #astronomers believe we’re sitting inside of one. A growing body of evidence suggests that our entire #MilkyWay #galaxy is located within an enormous cosmic void.

**Version française :**Culminant à 2002m d'altitude, le Moléson est l'un des sommets les plus emblématiques de Suisse Romande.
Situé dans les Préalpes fribourgeoises, il est réputé pour la vue magnifique qu'il offre sur les Alpes bernoises, le lac Léman et le plateau suisse. La légende raconte que l'on peut voir notre maison depuis le Moléson.
J'ai eu l'opportunité d'y passer quelques nuits dans le cadre de "la quinzaine de l'astronomie", organisé tous les ans autour du maximum des Perséides. Des astronomes amateurs montent avec leur matériel, et nous communiquons notre passion avec le public qui monte pour l'évènement.
C'est aussi une chouette occasion de rencontrer et revoir d'autres passionnés !
Après la soirée, nous descendons en téléphérique, et pouvons admirer la montagne depuis en bas. La voici surplombée de la Voie lactée.
**English version:**The Moléson (2002m) is one of the most iconic peaks in French-speaking Switzerland.
Located in the Fribourg Prealps, it's renowned for the magnificent view it offers of the Bernese Alps, Lake Leman, and the Swiss plateau. The legend says one can see their home form the Moléson.
I've had the opportunity to spend several nights there as part of the "Fortnight of stars", organized every year around the peak of the Perseids meteor shower. Amateur astronomers bring with their equipment, and we share our passion with the public who make the journey for the event.
It's also a wonderful opportunity to meet and reconnect with fellow enthusiasts!
After the evening session, we take the cable car down and can admire the mountain from below. Here it is, topped by the Milky Way.

Continued thread
A mere 55 million light-years away in the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies, M61 is also known as NGC 4303. It's considered to be an example of a barred spiral galaxy similar to our own #MilkyWay.
Messier 61 holds the record for the most #Supernovae observed in any Messier object, with at least eight recorded.
I will never forget this peaceful, magical night with the glittering stars of the Milky Way over Tahoma / Mount Rainier.

Eunha -- Milky Way
https://youtu.be/BBvpRYpFjak?si=grlaZuVsRjRxZ9NV
"Milky Way" is one of three solo tracks to appear on the recently released VIVIZ album "A Montage of ()". Eunha shares credits for both lyrics and composition; I assume that she is saying something about her part in the song's creation during the talk sections of this video.
Compared to the album track, this "Begin Again - Open Mic" version is pared back somewhat instrumentally, which focuses more attention on Eunha's singing. Her voice charms me; it combines the cute and the sexy. I know I'm not alone in finding her vocals appealing, but I also suspect that this appeal is not universal.
The Milky Way rises above a dark forest, revealing the quiet wonder of the night sky.

Celle-ci date du mois de mai, où nous nous sommes arrêtés à la frontière entre le Tarn et l'Aveyron, sur le chemin des Rencontres Astronomiques de Printemps.
Pas loin de là se trouve le Viadur du Viaur.
achevé en 1902, il fait 460m de long et 116m de haut. Ce viaduc ferroviaire a été conçu par Paul Bodin.
Les conditions étaient difficiles, avec beaucoup de passages nuageux, mais j'ai eu la chance de capturer des étoiles filantes durant mes poses.
Here are some Milky Way shots I took, well attempted...

Fireflies, Meteors, and Milky Way
Taken on July 29 and July 30, a registered and stacked series of exposures creates this dreamlike view of a northern summer night. Multiple firefly flashes streak across the foreground as the luminous Milky Way arcs above the horizon in the Sierra de Órganos national park of central #Mexico.
