cafuego 🔭🤦🏼‍♂️I see the 🐓!For the longest time I wondered why Lambda Centauri was called the running chicken nebula, but I see it now!This sits in the southern Milky Way between the more famous eta carina and the southern cross. It is very pretty all by itself though. If you look really carefully at the center of the nebula you’ll see some tiny dark blobs. Those are dusty cocoons called Bok Globules that surround forming stars.Or maybe they should be bok bok bok globules in this case. Once those stars switch on, their radiation will blow away the cocoon.I have included a “starless” image which makes these blobs a bit easier to spot. 143 x 300 seconds :wo_redcat_61: :zwo_duo_filter: :zwo_294mc: :zwo_am5: HHO processed with <a href="https://astrodon.social/@Siril_Official" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Siril_Official</a> <a href="https://misanthrope.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophotography</a> <a href="https://misanthrope.social/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a> <a href="https://misanthrope.social/tags/astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a>

Juan Carlos MuñozAstronomers have a love-hate relationship with the atmosphere: it's great for, you know, not dying, but it blurs astronomical images. In the latest episode of Chasing Starlight we tell you the inner workings of adaptive optics, a technique where we use powerful lasers and fast shape-shifting mirrors to measure and correct atmospheric turbulence:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_QC2cLroDc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_QC2cLroDc</a><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astronomy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astrophysics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrophysics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/astrodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#astrodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#science</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#space</a>
