@NDR Moin, wichtige Fakten: der am weitesten entfernte Lechtturm steht auf Auriga I 🚨
und der Leuchtturmwärter dort heißt Hein Lücht. 💡

The Flaming Star Nebula (IC 405) in the constellation Auriga, around 1,500 light-years away. Shaped by the intense radiation of the runaway star AE Aurigae, this nebula combines glowing ionised hydrogen with blue reflected starlight, forming its iconic flame-like structures.

NEW #Astrophoto: NGC 2281

In March, during a short astro session, I captured the bright open star cluster NGC 2281 in the constellation #Auriga.

SNR G156.2+5.7, a Faint Supernova Remnant in Auriga by Bray Falls

Auberry, California, USA

"SNR G156.2+5.7 is a beautiful and faint supernova remnant (SNR) in the constellation #Auriga. It is situated behind the dark clouds of the Taurus-Auriga molecular complex, which are very close to the Solar System.

Alternate name for the #constellation #Auriga (charioteer) is the Sky Protozoan. This is probably an original naming.

The USM Auriga in Alien Resurrection isn't as well known as the USCSS Nostromo or USS Sulaco in Alien or Aliens, but it's a great design.

One common theme in the Alien franchise is that all human ships, regardless of what century they operate, seem to have minimal crew onboard.

On this day 26 years ago in 1997, Alien Resurrection premiered in North America.

It wasn't as well received as Alien or Aliens, but after a re-watch, I can say it certainly has a fair share of body horror.

#SkyWatch #Astrophotography I went back to some data I captured in February to reprocess it for practice. The #FlamingStar Nebula is an emission and reflection nebula in the #Auriga constellation. It is about 1500 light years from Earth. The bright yellow star is called 16 Aur and is actually a triple star system with the brightest of the three being 5 billion years old. #StillLearning

Good to see that astronomers are now applying the same software used to detect star clusters in the search for OB associations. A new paper uses HDBSCAN to reanalyze OB associations in Auriga. #OBAssociations #Auriga #GaiaMission

High overhead is the gorgeous yellow #Capella; the little goat. It’s the brightest star in #auriga the charioteer.

I’m not kidding. I’m color blind and I still can’t get enough of the color of this star. The dot in the night you see is four stars orbiting each other in two pairs, kinda like the teacups ride at the amusement park. Oy... dizzy...

Speaking of the #Moon moving from night to night, tonight we'll see the Moon has moved eastward and is now about halfway between two bright stars: Orange-red #Betelgeuse in #Orion the hunter and golden yellow #Capella in #Auriga, the charioteer.

This is about smack in the middle of the #WinterHexagon, one of the most astoundingly amazing sights in the entire sky.

The thin veil clouds tonight help to show how orange-red planet #Mars is. Bright star at left is #Elnath in constellation #Auriga.

@profgalloway thanks for the reminder about the Roman #Auriga today - a slave who reminds the powerful 'Reminder you are just a man" - guardrails and checks & balances like boards and advisors do work
