NGC 2024 - the Flame Nebula - is an emission nebula located in the constellation of Orion. It is part of the same nebula that forms the Horsehead nebula. The bright star is Alnitak, the leftmost star in Orion's belt.

Today is World Wetlands Day.

Wetlands are a vital niche in the environment, with many animals and birds using these areas to survive and flourish.

A prime example of this is the Lara Wetlands near Barcaldine, QLD. These wetlands are situated in Central west Queensland, amongst some pretty dry and arid terrain.

This White-plumed Honeyeater is usually a woodland bird, but they were in abundance at Lara.

Hi fediverse - help please
I want to take my wife to a romantic spot just to sit and ponder after a little stroll. She is very weak, enduring a rigorous treatment for cancer. She can’t really eat anything so restaurants / cafes are probably out. I’m in north eastern Perth (bassendean area)
Any suggestions?
(I just took her down to Busselton for the weekend and I ruined it by getting awfully sick myself, so looking at making it up to her more locally)
I’ve little reach here - retoot appreciated

Stars greater than 8 times the mass of the Sun die spectacularly in a supernova explosion. What's left is a nebula known as a supernova remnant. This is M1 the remnant of a star seen to explode in 1054. As M1 is ~6000ly away, the explosion actually happened 6000 years earlier.

I've been playing a couple of games on the new Go server that has opened, CGS. Very pretty and modern, with some interesting tools/settings to help new players ... a few startup hic-ups as expected, hopefully they'll be ironed out soon.
My main problem is that it is such a resource hog that my fans are a whirring.

Started playing with uv resin casting for dice this weekend. For my very first experiment I tried an oversized d20 with blue and green. The result was bad but promising!
