Eyad wrote: “VdB 152 is a mirrored image nebula within the constellation Cepheus. It lies about 4 degrees east of Alfirk (Beta Cephei), in a area wealthy in dark nebulae and star fields. It’s situated on the southern fringe of the Cepheus Flare.” Thanks, Eyad! See extra of the deep sky beneath.

Diffuse nebulae within the deep sky
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Ahmad Aliqabi in Wasit, Iraq, captured the western a part of the Veil Nebula (NGC 6960) in Cygnus on September 2, 2022. He wrote: “The Western Veil nebula (cataloged as Caldwell 34 and in addition much less formally often known as Witch’s Broom Nebula) is a part of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant. Because the particles from the explosion strikes at very excessive speeds by way of space, it warmth the encompassing fuel to thousands and thousands of levels. Because it cools, this creates the colourful glow pictured right here. The intense star in the midst of this body is 52 Cygni, superimposed on the nebula however bodily unrelated to the supernova remnant.” Thanks, Ahmad!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Jeremy Likness in Monroe, Washington, captured the Heart Nebula (IC 1805) in Cassiopeia on September 20, 2022. He wrote: “7,500 light-years away, close to the constellation Cassiopeia, an enormous nebula of ionized hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur fuel that glows amidst darkish lanes of dust sprawls throughout 2 levels of view. A cluster of younger, brilliant stars at its personal coronary heart energizes the Coronary heart Nebula, or IC1805. This can be a detailed, wide-angle view of the nebula at 336mm [of focal length].” Thanks, Jeremy!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Ahmad Aliqabi in Alkut, Iraq, captured this view of the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8) in Sagittarius on September 2, 2022. Thanks, Ahmad!
The Elephant’s Trunk Nebula
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | James Carroll in Conway, Arkansas, captured this composite of a part of the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula in Cepheus. He wrote: “I’ve at all times cherished the depth in narrow-band deep-sky photos. These photos present the complexity of our personal Milky Way. To assume every brilliant dot represents a star the identical dimension or larger than our personal sun is awe-inspiring. This picture is a total of 28 hours and 45 minutes price of exposures, captured over August and into September, accomplished on September thirteenth and processed on the 14th. Complete time making this picture was over 35 hours.” Superb work. Thanks, James!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Jeremy Likness in Monroe, Washington, captured this view of the Elephant’s Trunk Nebula in Cepheus on September 22, 2022. He wrote: “Within the constellation Cepheus lies a big space of glowing cosmic materials silhouetted by surrounding clouds of darkish dust. Astronomers imagine this area is a star-forming space.” Thanks, Jeremy!
Galaxies within the deep sky
View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Karthik Easvur in Madurai, Tamilnadu, India, captured this wide-field view of the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) on September 3, 2022. He wrote: “I used to be taking a time-lapse of Andromeda Galaxy from my balcony. After I reviewed the pictures, I discovered a green-colored meteor together with the Andromeda Galaxy. It was a fortunate shot.” Certainly, that was a lucky and exquisite prevalence. Thanks, Karthik!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Jeremy Likness in Monroe, Washington, captured the Andromeda Galaxy (Messier 31) on September 6, 2022. He wrote: “I took benefit of the clear skies to seize further element on the Andromeda Galaxy. That is what I ended with after combining the datasets. The pink/crimson are areas of emission nebulae experiencing particular stellar exercise that emits hydrogen-alpha.” Thanks, Jeremy!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Eyad Khailany in Erbil, Iraq, captured the Triangulum Galaxy (Messier 33) on September 3, 2022. Eyad wrote: “The Triangulum Galaxy is a spiral galaxy 2.73 million light-years from Earth within the constellation Triangulum. It’s cataloged as Messier 33 or NGC (New Common Catalogue) 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the Third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, after Andromeda and the Milky Way. It is likely one of the most distant celestial objects you’ll be able to see together with your eye alone.” Thanks, Eyad!

Armando is properly often known as an astronomy educator, after 30+ years main in depth initiatives of public outreach and 10+ years educating in schools. As one in all solely a handful of Puerto Rican science communicators throughout Comet Halley’s final go to, he assumed a pioneering position beginning in 1985 when science was simply starting to enter the native mindset; over time his work introduced significant change to the tradition, inspiring folks to pursue pursuits in science and expertise. His affiliations embody Ana G. Méndez College–Cupey, the place in 2014 he spearheaded an 8-course extension program specializing in observational astronomy, the primary ever within the island.
