Look up to the sky…
Goodbye, Orion Nebula! As the nights grow warmer, this cosmic nursery slips lower in the sky, soon to vanish from our view. A stellar birthplace, it is a stunning cloud of gas and dust, where new stars and planetary systems come to life. (Only!) 1344 light-years away from Earth, its brightness and size make it visible to the naked eye in the night sky.
See you again in autumn.

I wonder if any Spaniards recently took to making lemonade by finding a nice rooftop and waiting for sunset to catch a rare non-rural glimpse of a dark night sky?

Sehr dünner Sichelmond gestern Abend im Abgang über den Stadtlichtern in der Ferne.

Nachthimmel mit sehr dünner Mondsichel, die von weichem Licht beleuchtet wird, umgeben von Sternen. Unten ist eine Silhouette von Dächern und entfernten Stadtlichtern gegen den dunklen Horizont zu sehen.

A different kind of #MonochromeMonday meets #TextureTuesday with these #stormClouds. These babies will bring rain tonight! I saw some lightning in the distance already. 🤩

Oh, and guess who needs a few dry days to treat the wood for the new shed and terrace? 🤡

A night-time view of a cloudy sky, rendered in deep blues. Wispy, textured clouds fill the frame, with darker, more solid formations visible in the lower half. The overall impression is of a slightly turbulent, overcast night.

Establishing a "right to darkness" could save our night skies: salon.com/2025/04/15/take-back - #DarkSky proponents mull the rights of #nature to battle #LightPollution; here's how it would work.

Colour on a Cold Day.

Mid-April, and it was snowing and cold this morning! Spring in Canada. 🇨🇦

Everyone who had the chance to see the sky being in the mountains, in the desert, on high seas would instantly second this!

Use outdoor lighting responsibly by only using it where it's
needed, when it's needed, and in the amount required. Use the
lowest light level required, limit blue-violet light, utilize timers
or motion sensors, and use shielding.

The image depicts a solitary wooden watchtower or hunting blind standing on a hill against a backdrop of a dark, overcast sky. The landscape appears barren and the horizon features silhouettes of trees. The overall mood is calm and atmospheric.

Dark Rum, an island off Scotland's coast, is now Europe's newest official Dark Sky Reserve! 🌌 Sophie shared an NY Times article showcasing its natural preservation and lack of artificial lighting.

#seawednesday from Grand Marais, #Minnesota, taken in July 2018.

Stayed in this little hidden pearl of a town, for a couple of nights, and on the last night just around #sunset, I went for a walk along the #coast, ending up at a small beach near the city, just as the sun had set. At the same time, the #Moon had decided to show up, giving me this amazing view.

@kim_harding "Are satellites bad for the environment?"

Tthe article is right regarding light pollution and carbon cost of ascent, but fails to note Kessler Syndrome / Collisional Cascading, and doesn't say the minimum re-entry pollution.

Satellite re-entry pollution is more impactful than the mass alone would suggest because of (catalytic?) effects of metals in different atmospheric strata where otherwise there's very little of those elements.

"Measurements show that about 10% of the aerosol particles in the stratosphere contain aluminum and other metals that originated from the “burn-up” of satellites and rocket stages during reentry. [...] These measurements have broad implications for the stratosphere and higher altitudes.

The mass of lithium, aluminum, copper, and lead from the reentry of spacecraft was found to exceed the cosmic dust influx of those metals" [1]
