Experimenting with #NightPhotography.

This is a straight up about 45 minute exposure of the sky. It’s just a circular set of light streaks, with some criss-crossing streaks from planes and satellites.
This is a very dim straight up star field view.
This is the First Congregational Church of Orwell at night. It is lit up in the center of the frame. The exposure was about 60 seconds. The light from the illuminated church lights the town green in front of it, along with the trees. You can also see the stars above it. The clock tower reads 11.

Hubble images a starstruck galaxy: The irregular galaxy Arp 263 lurks in the background of this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, but the view is dominated by a stellar photobomber, the bright star BD+17 2217. https://phys.org/news/2023-07-hubble-images-starstruck-galaxy.html

How is your toaster like a cool star?

They both look red and glow because they are hot, dense objects, but they emit most of their light at infrared wavelengths.

A bright reddish-orange star. The star shows a typical diffraction pattern for a bright star seen through a telescope - a circle in the center and four thin spikes forming a cross shape. In the background are thousands of smaller, fainter stars, seen as points of light in shades of blue and white on a black background.
