This stunning image of the star forming Orion Nebula was captured in 1901 by American astronomer and telescope designer George Ritchey. The original glass photographic plate has been digitized and light-to-dark inverted to produce a positive image https://t.co/3Upb7Ffnfv
“By focusing attention, observation, and extensive thought on astronomical phenomena, one is able to prove the unicity of God and to recognize the extent of the Creator’s might as well as His wide wisdom and delicate design.”

Astronomers are like magicians, right?? I mean wizards study the stars so I'm going with it

Just a little thing I wanted to draw out. Story’s still in the works. It’s basically a love story between a young astronomer named Markus and Halley’s comet.
How was Uranus tilted onto its side? Astronomers believe a giant impact could have been the cause.

In July 1939, American astronomer Annie Jump Cannon - who created the Harvard Classification Scheme, the first serious method for classifying stars, & classified 350,000 in her lifetime - discovered Harvard’s 10,000th variable star. https://t.co/XnHJPBbfi4 #WomenInSTEM
Godwin is a very good astronomer, and as such, he is intimately familiar with the phases of the Moon...Jester.
this picture made my life 100% better <3 @aroshi_wish is the BEST THING EVER.
Pics taken by @NASAHubble were remastered by astronomers to bring science & art together, creating images like this one. #Galileo created similar images of stars & Moon craters! #SciArt continues to capture our imagination 100's of yrs later https://t.co/ndDPZ0YtIG (PIc: @NASA)
