Enjoying life, and loving #Castle, plus other stuff...
Will always love #Castle, even in its end, living on through FanFiction. Also love weather (my career, too!), my hub and our lovely cats. Southern New England USA.
Did you know that we have better maps of the moon that we have of Earth? This is an actual 3D model of our Mooncrom NASA.
The LRO Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has done all the homework for us after 10 years in Luna! Thank you, little guy! You are indeed GLORIOUS for withstanding Lunar Orbit and sending us all that data to prepare us for Artemis. 🙋♀️🏻🚀🥳🙏

The Horsehead Nebula in Infrared from Hubble
Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula (M42). A potentially rewarding but difficult object to view personally with a small telescope, the above gorgeously detailed image was taken in 2013 in infrared light by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in honor of the 23rd anniversary of Hubble's launch. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is seen above primarily because it is backlit by the nearby massive star Sigma Orionis .
