All Photos
Aurora Borealis (Old photo from a few years ago) from my campus :O Credits to my colleague for getting the exposure (my phone couldnt get it) :D
Here's another image it's Messier 11 (NGC 6705), also known as the Wild Duck Cluster. It is an open star cluster, and is within the constellation Scutum. It consists of ~2900 stars and is about 6200 light years away from us (roughly 1900 parsecs ~ 5.86e+16 km).
I couldnt get a color spectra due to the clouds interfering with the exposure
black and white image of M51 :3
That streak right there was caused by a plane :unamused: I hate if when exposures get ruined because of them. This is practically how I take those rad photos without my phone :stuck_out_tongue: and how the CCD camera sends info to the computer
This was worth the 3 hrs of exposure, different RGB spectra, as well as H alpha, Johnson B, etc etc. This was taken with a CCD camera, think of it as an Astronomer's version of a camera, which stares at one object over a period of time to capture photons (light), using CCD cameras are better than, a simple phone camera... just think of it as like taking photo underwater with your phone.
Back on topic, this is Messier 51, the Whirlpool Galaxy, roughly 23 million light years away, and is my favorite celestial object to the top you will see a galaxy being 'sucked' into the one in the center (M51) and it's mostly due to one word: gravity. I can write alot about this but its almost 5AM here
The moon also known as Luna
Epsilon Lyrae, also known as the double double, a binary system.
One of my most favorite problems, basically it's to calculate the trajectory orbit and the time needed to launch a probe to a star at a given galactic coordinates. Was fun and used a program instead of doing the integrations lol
So my colleague gives me an astrophysics problem to solve... mind you at 1:30AM, and I solve it. Basically it is the mass function of a region of space between two stars in order to calculate the average mass of a star within that region. Pretty neat stuff
Andromeda Galaxy, also known as Messier 33 :O (Photo Cred to my colleague who captured the photo of it last night)
Fun fact we are in a collision course with the Andromeda Galaxy, well a few million years from now of course :P
They said I can become anything, so I became a unicorn-bug-hybrid lul
Progress so far on Bakersville Main Expansion
Fun with Shaders (taken 5 hrs ago)
Referring to flux's line xD
Day 15 and I'm still stuck in this desert....
Task force wishes you a happy birthday
Sneak preview of the interview area for my project lol
Creepers that are in the background are famous for the bloopers xD
WTC Towers 1 and 2 worked on by danny and I :D
