Here they are, my phantomsona, Phantom of the Astronomical Wing. Tinkers with the old equipment, broods on the roof of the university, silhouetted against a starry sky
This astronomical sky spanning view is a mosaic from the Pan-STARRS observatory. The images were recorded with its 1.8 meter telescope at the summit of Haleakala on planet Earth's island of Maui https://t.co/fJQ0TsSGdG

An astronomical gift for @XushoWolf (And yes, the rocket of the background is the Saturn V)
The Horsehead #DarkNebula (also known as Barnard 33) is one of the most imaged astronomical objects: you can see easily in it the shape of a horse head made of dark dust and gas. This object is situated 1500 lightyears from us. #Anysllum #Observatory @AstroSabadell.

I did a “Spooky Space” show at my planetarium showcasing astronomical objects with #Halloween names. Thought I’d share a couple here.
This is IC 2118, the Witch’s Head Nebula. It’s a cloud of gas and dust reflecting the blue light from the Star Rigel in Orion.
