Pillar 43 at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey, decorated with the carvings of 3
handbag-shaped objects, a vulture with a sphere balanced on its wing, that's Cygnus.

Thank you. It's 3:48 in the morning as I sit here photographing nebula in Cygnus and wondered what else I might find. Your video is a big help.

Wonderful insights and Thank You for sharing the knowledge and enlightening us. You're one of the reasons why I picked up my interests to become an amateur skywatcher as a hobby and trying to get my kids into it too. One request - can you do a similar one on Virgo now that we have got the 1st ever image of it's blackhole M87, which is supposed the strongest blackhole ever in our neighborhood and apparently every other galaxies including ours and Andromeda are moving towards it, eventually.

Love this, thank you. Can you do a episode on types of nebulae please? x

[Dutchastrochris]

Nice vid….but…..the location of the Cygnus loop is not right in your video, sorry 😉

I didn't know that black holes can be capture. I want to know how it really looks like.
