?? The Big, the Bold, the Beautiful – RASA 36! ?? This astrograph powerhouse captured NGC 281 – The Pacman Nebula in jaw-dropping detail. Hellas-Sky's (@hellas.sky) image reveals the intricate dust structures and glowing hydrogen clouds, showcasing the nebula’s true beauty like never before. With massive aperture and ultra-fast optics, the RASA 36 is built for serious deep-sky imaging, delivering unrivaled clarity and depth. ?? Big aperture. Fast optics. Stunning results. ?? ??: Hellas-Sky #RASA36 #PacmanNebula #NGC281 #Celestron #Astrophotography #DeepSky

Hidden caves on the Moon? Scientists have been studying lunar caves and lava tubes for years, but new discoveries could change space exploration forever! ???? These caves, found beneath the Ocean of Storms and Sea of Tranquility, might be entrances to ancient lava tubes—potential shelters for future astronauts from intense radiation, extreme temperatures, and constant meteor strikes. ?????? #MoonBase #SpaceExploration

?? Exciting news from our friends at Baader Planetarium (@baaderplanetarium)! ??
