One of the coolest (...😄 ) things I learned during our #Giraffe #CreatureCorner this week was that their 'spots' help to regulate heat.

Here's a #giraffe in infrared where you can clearly see its spots!

IMPORTANT UPDATE (/s)

That Camelopardalis champagne glass from this week's episode that isn't to my tastes (tho I do like that rainbow effect)?

Well, you can now get it for ~$325/glass (up from a *paltry* ~$250)!

But remember — champagne not included..

Jordan describing a 'compound word' that was a pop cultural 'moment that inspired songs, music, poems, musical sketches and high fashion'

immediately, me, thinking she was being a little tongue-in-cheek:

New #podcast episode comes out tomorrow! We'll be getting #chaotic & #silly in our #PopCulture (broadly defined) of #Camelopardalis episode.

Here's what I can tell you by way of a teaser -- BoP overheard part of the episode when I was listening to the edit & when I paused it he went... No! Wait! I need to know about (redacted until tomorrow)!

In the meantime, what are your favorite/least favorite/wished #Camelopardalis or #Giraffes in pop culture???

#giraffe #nature #humor

me, in my head, when Jordan's #WaxingPoetic invented #myth for #camelopardalis involved saving Zeus:

To see if you agree, check out our most recent #podcast where we invent some #lore for the Giraffe constellation: https://starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/e/camelopardalis-myths-and-retconstellations/

#Zeus #GreekMythology #SchittsCreek #gif #Humor #silly #StarLore #storytelling

Ancient Babylonians & Ancient Greeks looked at this part of the night sky and said eh.

But then Petrus Plancius came along and slapped a giraffe on it -- thus, #camelopardalis was born!

While we're talking about old multi-hyphenate guys we met in this week's episode...

I couldn't find a picture of Pieter van den Keere -- whose globe popularized the newfangled constellation, but I did find this... *interesting* (upsetting) engraving he published...

So, you're welcome, I guess. Back to #camelopardalis astrophotography tomorrow!

#IC342: Hidden #Galaxy in #Camelopardalis
#Astronomy #Picture of the Day

https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap260108.html

#APOD

Comparing the same part of the autumn Milky Way in blue and near-infrared light.

The first photo is in near-infrared, and the second is blue (from last night).

Near-infrared is less affected by interstellar dust and can 'see into' thick dust more than blue light.

This is a continuation of:

#NewMexico #Photography #Astrophotography #Astronomy #Dust #Filter #Blue #Constellation #Camelopardalis #Perseus #Monochrome #Infrared

Gazing into the abyss of the autumn Milky Way between Perseus and Camelopardalis.

This monochrome image was taken in blue light, which accentuates the presence of interstellar dust.

The first image was plate solved, and you can see the results here:
https://nova.astrometry.net/user_images/14326291#annotated

The second image is a crop of the first image, centered on the darkest dust clouds where stars are almost completely absent...at least in blue light. (Infrared would be a different matter.)

The darkest clouds are Barnard nebulae 9, 11, 12, and 13.

The 3rd and 4th graphics show some objects in the frame, and the location of the photo in the larger context of the autumn sky.

#PhotoOfTheDay: #Hubble Images a Peculiar Spiral

A beautiful but skewed spiral galaxy dazzles in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image.

The galaxy, called Arp 184 or NGC 1961, sits about 190 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation #Camelopardalis (The Giraffe).

NGC 1501 Blue Oyster Nebula

The Blue Oyster is a planetary nebula, representing an aging star that has shed its outer layers. Unlike the other planetary nebula, however, the central star of the Blue Oyster is not a typical white dwarf, but has a
spectra more like a Wolf-Rayet Star.  In photographs, the magnitude 14.5 central star suggests a pearl inside a blue oyster.
