NGC 7635 : The Bubble Nebula
It’s the bubble versus the cloud. NGC 7635, the Bubble Nebula, is being pushed out by the stellar wind of massive central star BD+602522. Next door, though, lives a giant molecular cloud, visible to the right. At this place in space, an irresistible force meets an immovable object in an interesting way. The cloud is able to contain the expansion of the bubble gas, but gets blasted by the hot radiation from the bubble’s central star. The radiation heats up dense regions of the molecular cloud causing it to glow. The Bubble Nebula, pictured above in scientifically mapped colors to bring up contrast, is about 10 light-years across and part of a much larger complex of stars and shells. The Bubble Nebula can be seen with a small telescope towards the constellation of the Queen of Aethiopia (Cassiopeia).

별똥별 본날… 🌠
살면서 별을 바라본적이 얼마나 될까 ?
겨울의 별이라 불리우는 카펠라를 집1채값이라는 천체망원경으로 보고 넘 아름답고 영롱해서 감탄을 거듭!! 우주는 넓고.. 주님의 창조하심은 너무나도 놀랍다 나의 지식세계를 넘어.. #장흥 #별 #스페이스 #우주복 #별자리 #star #별그대 #별구경 #송암스페이스센터 #selfie #nasa #천문대 by mercicandles

Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string… Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages… In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty.
The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried.“ -Ralph Waldo Emerson
