Starlink G6-21 satellites https://www.flickr.com/photos/filipp-romanov/53248558674/in/pool-11947580@N00 filipp.romanov has added a photo to the pool:
On the evenings of October 8, 9 and 10 I observed Starlink-G6-21 satellites from Yuzhno-Morskoy (near Nakhodka), Primorsky Krai.
I will describe the last observation in detail: I saw them (and photographed) from 10:06 to 10:13 UT, even at the horizon they had a brightness slightly fainter than Arcturus and their color was visually yellow. When they were higher, their color was white with a slight hint of blue, and at the zenith they entered the shadow of the Earth.
I made a video (Canon EOS 60D, 132 images with ISO-6400, f/3.5, 18mm, 2 sec.): www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbJ1-6zwZcI |

Star trail of Somonauk Barn https://www.flickr.com/photos/187550781@N03/53249409828/in/pool-11947580@N00 cvstrever10 has added a photo to the pool:
So it was Finley a nice night out. Since I had to work in the early morning hours I grabbed my equipment to go photograph star trails and dial in my camera for a project that I will be undertaking. These barns have been standing all my life in the town that I grew up in. I am not sure how much longer they would be standing, so I took the opportunity to incorporate them into one of my photos, One to document that they once stood in this farming community on the very edge of town, and secondly they gave my photo a nice rustic touch. |

Earth's Alien Throne https://www.flickr.com/photos/steveberkley/53249878900/in/pool-11947580@N00 sberkley123 has added a photo to the pool:
The Alien Throne stands in the Valley of Dreams, a remote field of hoodoos on Navajo Nation land in the northwestern New Mexico badlands. Its filled with petrified wood even petrified trunks and branches and is rich with fossils. Its just outside the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness, where paleontologists discovered not the Triceratops, but the Pentaceratops. Alien Throne is a hoodoo. Theyre formed by erosive forces like wind, rain, and flowing water beating away at stacked layers of soft and hard rock. The softer layers wear down relatively quickly, but the harder layers resist for longer eventually, were left with impossible shapes. Hoodoos tend to have hard cap rocks on top, which protect the soft layers, and alien features, below. |

M27 The Dumbbell Nebula https://www.flickr.com/photos/130705404@N02/53250304093/in/pool-11947580@N00 hfjimenez1 has added a photo to the pool:
Messier 27, also known as the Dumbbell Nebula , is located in the constellation Vulpecula approximately 1,360 light-years from Earth. It was first discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, who cataloged it as the 27th object in his famous Messier Catalog.
The Dumbbell Nebula earned its peculiar name from its distinctive, dumbbell-like appearance. At the heart of this celestial phenomenon is a central white dwarf, the remnant of a once massive star. The process that led to the creation of this planetary nebula began when the star exhausted its nuclear fuel, causing it to expand into a red giant. The outer layers of the star were then expelled into space, forming the nebula that we see today. These expanding layers of gas and dust create the striking shell-like structure of the Dumbbell Nebula. The nebula's distinctive shades of red and blue are the result of different gases in the region. The red hue primarily comes from ionized hydrogen, while the blue comes from ionized oxygen.
Astronomers are particularly interested in planetary nebulae like M27 because they provide valuable insights into the late stages of stellar evolution. They help us understand the fate that awaits our own Sun in billions of years.
