Double Cluster, In Perseus


NGC 689 and NGC 884, in Perseus. Two jewels in the night sky and two of the youngest star clusters in the galaxy.

Taken on 09/04/2010 at the LAS Observatory, in Curby, Indiana.
'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'
-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else! "

Wondered where you'd gotten to.


Making more beauty for me to see! Did you catch the Quadrantid shower?

No I didn't get the chance. Weather permitting, I will be able to get out to the observatory this month. I've got plans to image a really spectacular nebula, if everything works out right. Stay tuned...
