The Bubble Nebula, also known as NGC 7635, Sharpless 162, or Caldwell 11, is an H II region emission nebula in the constellation Cassiopeia.
It lies close to the open cluster Messier 52. The "bubble" is created by the stellar wind from a massive hot, 8.7 magnitude young central star, SAO 20575 (BD+60°2522).
The nebula is near a giant molecular cloud which contains the expansion of the bubble nebula while itself being excited by the hot central star, causing it to glow.

Starcloud's AI data-processing hardware is going to the moon! The Seattle-area startup's payload will ride to lunar orbit on #Firefly Aerospace's #Elytra spacecraft, with departure set for as early as 2028. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/starcloud-ai-computing-moon-firefly/ #Starcloud #Moon #Space #Tech #AI #DataCenters
Starship reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 operational Starlink V3 satellites on September 28. An engine shut down early and controllers shortened the uncrewed mission from about ten hours to three, leaving full reusability and routine reliability unproven.
SpaceX's Starship launches on first orbital mission from Texas
Starship is key to SpaceX's commercial success and NASA's plans to land humans on the moon. This is the 14th flight of the uncrewed Starship, but the first time it reached orbit.

NASA has officially concluded the Opportunity rover mission after fifteen years of exploration on the Martian surface. This final panorama from Perseverance Valley documents the rover's enduring scientific legacy and its critical role in planetary geology. By analyzing these high-resolution mosaics, researchers gain vital insights into the aqueous history and environmental evolution of Mars. This mission demonstrates the peak of robotic endurance and provides a foundational dataset for future human exploration of the Red Planet. #NASA #Mars #Opportunity #Astronomy #PerseveranceValley

The gleaming Trifid and Lagoon nebulae can be seen between our New Technology Telescope (left) and the ESO 3.6-meter telescope (right) at La Silla.
Their red colour comes from hydrogen atoms ionised by young stars in these clouds. The Trifid nebula also shows a blue tint caused by dust reflecting the light of some of these stars.

This stuff is amazing, such a weird little world, the thing that he's doing is really dialed-in. This person is a kind of creative inspiration for me, the attention and craftspersonship that goes into this stuff is at a high level.
this guy seems to have crossed some kind of alien corridor into a bizarre scene, quirky and twisted and maybe dangerous. But so fun.
