Okay, I lied. This one - although "only" fan art - also is VERY cool:

IC 1396B in the constellation Cepheus imaged in the red light from hydrogen atoms. These images were obtained as part of the INT/WFC Photometric Hydrogen-Alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS).
Date of photograph: 2005.

Description: NGC6992, part of the Cygnus Loop. The Cygnus Loop is the remnant of a type II supernova. For a few days the supernova emitted as much energy as a whole galaxy. When it was all over, a large fraction of the star was blown into space as a supernova remnant, which it's typical at most few light-years across.
Date: 2009.
Credit: Daniel López (IAC).
Technical information:
This image is part of the Eastern Veil Nebula, or NGC 6992, and it was obtained using the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. It is a three-colour composite made from data collected using filters to isolate the light emitted by hydrogen alpha (H-alpha), doubly ionised oxygen (OIII) and ionised sulfur (SII) atoms, and coded in the image as red, green and blue respectively.

Description: M78 Nebula.
Date: 2014.
Credits: Alexis Smith.
Technical information:
This image was obtained through the filters Harris R, Harris V and Harris B to match red, green and blue respectively. Each exposure time was 180 seconds.

Apparently, this is brewed with yeast that has been to space. Has anyone tried this?

And, if that's not enough, here is my contribution to Space Porn for the day:

 

[AstroSam]

Really? They took this beer into space?? How much comes a bottle? A hundred bucks?? And do you really think it affects the taste of the beer (flying to space, not the price...well, perhaps subjectively even the price :D)?

I think only ingredients were taken into space before it was brewed on Earth, so I kind of doubt it would taste any different because of it. Probably just a novelty. Another space beer by Sapporo cost $110 (US) per 6-pack.

 

[AstroSam]

Since Montoya has earned a thousand bucks last month, he definitely could buy a sixpack and do a beer tasting session within SOTS 18.

I find it rather cumbersome to release tension with this kind of porn

Quasars are the brightest known objects in the universe, emitting more light than a trillion Suns:

VY Canis Majoris is the largest star in the known universe:

To give you an (wage) idea about its size:

Lets hope that we can find such awesome, amazing scenarios within SC :)

IIRC the shot from Interstellar is of a Wormhole rather than a BlackHole.

Very cool thread.

Thanks ;)


New NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of Messier 96, a spiral galaxy which is 35 million light-years away from us. Will we discover it some day...?

But first we have to start travelling through "our" milky-way galaxy. The Milky Way is a disk about 120,000 light years across with a central bulge that has a diameter of 12,000 light years - and contains over 200 billion stars!
