APOD 2.8

Reflections on the 1970s Orion was the one thing I always looked for in the night sky when I was younger. Well, that and the Little Dipper which I now know is only an asterism for Ursa Minor. Anyways, it's always fun to look up at the sky at night and see all the stars and the pretty moon. I like the moon. It's very bright and pretty as I said before.

APOD 2.7

T Tauri and Hind's Variable Nebula

I don't really know if these stars can be seen by the naked eye or if they can be viewed through binoculars or if they might even need to be viewed through a telescope. Obviously you can't get that good of a picture with the naked eye. Either way, this is a really pretty picture and I'll have to do more research on whether or not these may be viewed just by looking up at the night sky.

APOD 2.6

M74: The Perfect Spiral This is pretty cool. I do not know why we did not have it on our constellation quiz, but that's okay. One less "M" object to worry about. Anyhow, I wish that I could see this for myself through the Hubble telescope. The observation of possible black hole tendencies of this M object is absolutely amazing. Black holes really fascinate me. Guess I will have to keep checking on this development.
