Today's Nice, Quiet Sky Candy

Let's go with a little funk this morning. Or afternoon, depending on when this gets published.

There's a lot of fun stuff in space this week. Something I've missed for a while is living someplace with good viewing. 

This is too spectacular to miss.

So, do you suppose a "super" star cluster has a cool theme song? Not that it could ever be as cool as Underdog's theme song.

There was a lot of amateur coolness this week.

Some baby pictures.

Something a little more edgy.

Just another spectacular nebula picture.

I'm so old, I remember when Pluto was a planet and no one knew it had moons.

Actually, I'm kidding — Pluto is still a planet.

More baby pictures.

A little bit of rocket art.

If you are in the eastern hemisphere or can get there in time, there's a lunar eclipse coming.

Orion is chock-full of tourist attractions.

This is one of my favorite sights — and insights.

Dark nebula. Does this make this film noir?

Planetary nebulae fascinate me.

And a little more cool video. This is another one of those "we really do live in the future" things: a university that has its own satellite.

Wow, Sky Candy turned out to be 17 pictures this week. And I could have done more.

I want to throw in a little plug here. Sarah Hoyt, my friend and little-sister-by-acclimation, has a new book — or three-book series, take your pick — coming out called No Man's Land. I read it in a pre-publication eARC, and it's really something. Think, "if J.R.R. Tolkien wrote SF." It's in three volumes, but it's really one long book. I recommend it.

So, see you next week. As always, I love comments.
