We Caught Something Moving in Deep Space #shorts

We gottem! Light Ripples in SPACE. A bunch of us astro nerds spent 5 months battling the crappy weather to bag a timelapse of Hubble's Variable Nebula. Go Big Amateur Telescope go!

"What is it?"

Well I was hoping you'd tell me, you're the one with a telescope here...

[lousasol]

LOVE when independent people work with this kind of passion. We need more people like this. Bless you bro.

The astronomical version of Steve Irwin, lmao.

Some aliens are just enjoying an Intergalactic rave party...

“No you’re not going mad, it IS pulsating”
That’s beside the point, because I am indeed going mad.

I appreciate the fact that you took photos everyday for 5 months. To make a still frame motion picture of something so incredible... I enjoy space and the unknown in the great beyond.. thank you for allowing me to experience this with you.

I love this guy, he’s the mad scientist I wish I had next door.

From Wikipedia The star R Monocerotis has lit up a nearby cloud of gas and dust, but the shape and brightness slowly changes visibly even in small telescopes over weeks and months, and the nebula looks like a small comet.

One explanation proposed for the variability is that dense clouds of dust near R Mon periodically block the illumination from the star. This casts a temporary shadow on the nearby clouds.

That’s the biggest techno nightclub in the universe (you can virtually hear the kick-drum)

[antonioromero]

Looks like they party hard on that planet 🔥☄️

For those of us who can't afford such beautiful equipment, thank you for sharing your passion!!!

What’s cool about that photo is that you’re actually seeing the speed of light going through the clouds of gas

[odysama]

The moment he scratched his head and said "this is absolutely gonna blow you away"🤣

[dalehatton]

It's a nebula measuring over 1 light year across, it's illuminated by a star that has a dust cloud orbiting it, what you are seeing as pulses is the shadow of the dust cloud moving out over a great distance, in other words you are seeing the movement of the speed of light over a light year!

Thank you for your five months dedication. Much appreciated.

[甘いお茶漬け]

“Let me show you something!”
Okay.
“ …2500 light years away!”
Uhh.. okay?

[killerkiller]

I'm here in bed with Big Bertha, and she is also pulsating 😂

We love you Rory 🤍
Happy New Year
