#Cygnus

Finding #Space #PopCulture (broadly defined) all around — Cygnus X-1 Churro, anyone?!

“Following initial evaluation, there also is damage to the cargo module,” the agency said in a statement, according to Ars Technica. “The International Space Station Program will continue working with Northrop Grumman to assess whether the #Cygnus cargo module is able to safely fly to the space station on a future flight.”

🛰️🦢 La NASA a annoncé que le cargo #Cygnus NG-22 ne serait pas le prochain cargo de ravitaillement de l'ISS. Il est remplacé par le NG-23 dont le lancement est prévu pour l'automne 2025.
Le conteneur contenant la partie pressurisée du cargo NG-22 et le module lui-même ont été endommagés début mars pendant son transport vers le Kennedy Space Center.

Sadr Region, Cygnus

I don't often like completely starless nebula astrophotos, but this one fairly screamed "oil painting" at me when I saw the brown and gold tones.

SkyWatcher Quattro 8", 4hr10 data, IDAS NBZ HOO filter, reprocessed from last year using PI and a modified HaHOO palette.

Hubble Space Telescope composite image of the Veil Nebula - a supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus.

The photograph shows a wispy structure in an array of colors in the enter of the image. The background is black, but some green spots are scattered across the image.

For #MythologyMonday -- how about the #Roman myth of the #constellation Cygnus?

The story goes that when Phaethon, the son of Helios, drove his father's chariot he lost control & Zeus/Jupiter had to kill him.

In the aftermath, Phaethon's lover, Cygnus, collected his bones to give him a proper funeral. The gods were so moved by this devotion, they put him in the night sky as a swan (who famously mate for life).

I've spent a lot of time imaging in Cygnus, but I had missed this particular area previously. SH2-112 (the circle on the left side) would be better captured with a narrower field of view, but I still like the red glow and dark dust in this area.

Subject: SH2-112 and surrounding region. SH2-112 is a circular region ringed with red and dark dust lines with a blue oxygen center.

$From source link in toot: This release features a composite image of the Cygnus OB2 star cluster, which resembles a night sky blanketed in orange, purple, and grey clouds. The center of the square image is dominated by purple haze. This haze represents diffuse X-ray emissions, and young stars, detected by the Chandra X-ray observatory. Surrounding the purple haze is a mottled, streaky, brick orange cloud. Another cloud resembling a tendril of grey smoke stretches from our lower left to the center of the image. These clouds represent relatively cool dust and gas observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope. Although the interwoven clouds cover most of the image, the thousands of stars within the cluster shine through. The lower-mass stars present as tiny specks of light. The massive stars gleam, some with long refraction spikes.$

ENHANCE -- this is a super-close up of the leading edge of the Cygnus Loop nebula (a supernova remnant) from #Hubble!

This image shows a very close zoom-in of the leading edge of the supernova remnant called the Cygnus Loop. Amid a backdrop with some sparse stars, glowing filaments of hydrogen (in orange) seem to be weaving across the middle of the image.

Maybe it's just me, but I looked at and read the description of the #Constellation of #Cygnus for Astrological Magic work in the Speculum Lapidum, and nothing in that source hints at Romantic love.
