The Pleiades

==========



A year after my first wide-field capture of the Pleiades, I revisited M45 with a tighter composition to reveal more of its hidden structure.



This close-up view brings out the delicate blue wisps of the reflection nebula—filaments, arcs, and soft dust clouds shaped by the hot young stars of the cluster.



With deeper integration and refined processing, this new image highlights just how intricate and dynamic the Pleiades truly are.

Pair of small cosmos, what I liked about this batch was seeing the little grains of pollen that had migrated to the petals

Cosmos have helped more than a few Nara temples turn their fortunes around.

Abe Monju-in (安倍文殊院) creates a cosmos maze for guests to enjoy each autumn.
The temple started life as Sūke-ji (崇敬寺) in 645, founded by Abe-no-Kurahashimaro (安倍倉梯麻呂).

🤔I was going to mute the video, but I think this is a more honest glimpse of how noisy popular sites get😑

🫡 U.S. abandons hunt for signal of cosmic inflation

｢ The U.S. government has canceled a proposed $900 million project to study in unprecedented detail the afterglow of the Big Bang, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. Known as CMB-S4, the project envisioned new arrays of ultrasensitive microwave telescopes at the South Pole and in Chile’s Atacama Desert ｣
