Astrophoto: North American and Pelican Nebulae Image by Don Goldman
Click to enlargeWe live in a universe filled with galaxies. Galaxies are vast gravitationally bound aggregations of hydrogen gas clouds, stars that are produced when part of a cloud collapses under its own enormous weight, atoms that have been ionized by stellar radiation and dust formed from the remnants of previous stars that have either exploded or thrown off their outer layers during old age. Of these, the largest directly observable constituents are the hydrogen gas billows. Older terms survive within the astronomical lexicon. Any extended object in the sky (other than the Sun, Moon, planets and comets) has at one time or another been called a nebula. The root meaning, however, is cloud and it's now most often used to reference places that contain gas and dust such as the view provided by the image accompanying this article.

Kinda cool.... :-)

Sunset With Major Dust
Along with the dust, today we hit the same temp as our record high, set in 1910, 82deg, not bad for the 1st of January...
