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 positioned on the southern fringe of the Cepheus Flare.” Thanks, Eyad! See extra of the deep sky under.

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 generally 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 space, it warmth the encompassing gasoline to hundreds of thousands of levels. Because it cools, this creates the colourful glow pictured right here. The intense star in the course 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, a large nebula of ionized hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur gasoline that glows amidst darkish lanes of dust sprawls throughout 2 levels of view. A cluster of younger, vibrant 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 all the time cherished the depth in narrow-band deep-sky photos. These photos present the complexity of our personal Milky Way. To assume every vibrant dot represents a star the identical measurement or larger than our personal sun is awe-inspiring. This picture is a total of 28 hours and 45 minutes value 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 consider 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. Once 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 delightful incidence. 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 extra element on the Andromeda Galaxy. That is what I ended with after combining the datasets. The pink/purple 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 Basic Catalogue) 598. The Triangulum Galaxy is the Third-largest member of the Local Group of galaxies, after Andromeda and the Milky Way. It is among the most distant celestial objects you may see along with your eye alone.” Thanks, Eyad!

Armando is nicely generally known as an astronomy educator, after 30+ years main in depth initiatives of public outreach and 10+ years instructing in schools. As one among solely a handful of Puerto Rican science communicators throughout Comet Halley’s final go to, he assumed a pioneering function beginning in 1985 when science was simply starting to enter the native mindset; over time his work introduced significant change to the tradition, inspiring individuals 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.
