Think #lynx are cute??

Yep. Me too, which was almost everything I knew about them before our #CreatureCorner episode: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

And if you want to know more about why we have a #Constellation named #lynx, check out our #astronomy episode on the constellation here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

Ignore the bright star trying to steal the show in the foreground -- this is UGC 3855 -- a lovely galaxy located in the #constellation #Lynx ๐Ÿคฉ

We did an #astronomy focused episode on Lynx earlier this season: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

And we talked about how it this constellation got its name & our favorite #lynx #folklore here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

But if your interests are in the #animal instead? Well, we got you too: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

A bright foreground star dominates the upper portion of the frame with diffraction spikes, while the galaxy UGC 3855 stretches across the bottom with a luminous core and swirling bands of dust and bluish star clusters. The black background is dotted with tiny stars and distant galaxies.

In our recent episode, I learned that a #bobcat & a Canadian #lynx can reproduce (creating a hybrid called a Blynx)!

And, uh, well, we should prob leave them alone (you know, since scientists put a tracking collar on one too tightly in 2003 and it starved to death ๐Ÿ˜ข )

PROTECT. THE. BLYNX.

From source link in toot: This release features a composite image of the Cygnus OB2 star cluster, which resembles a night sky blanketed in orange, purple, and grey clouds.

The center of the square image is dominated by purple haze. This haze represents diffuse X-ray emissions, and young stars, detected by the Chandra X-ray observatory. Surrounding the purple haze is a mottled, streaky, brick orange cloud. Another cloud resembling a tendril of grey smoke stretches from our lower left to the center of the image. These clouds represent relatively cool dust and gas observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Although the interwoven clouds cover most of the image, the thousands of stars within the cluster shine through. The lower-mass stars present as tiny specks of light. The massive stars gleam, some with long refraction spikes.
