Mars appears to be at the tip of a dark lane of interstellar dust in the Taurus Dark Clouds. The comet is showing its whitish dust tail and blue ion tail,as well as its cyan coma from diatomic carbon emission. The star cluster at left is NGC 1746.13998596 - The infamous "Green" Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) passing by reddish Mars with both in the constellation of Taurus on the night of Feb 11,2023. The comet was 2° south of Mars this night. Mars was embedded in some of the dark obscuring dust clouds in Taurus,creating the dark patchy appearance to the background sky. The comet's coma glows cyan due to emission from diatomic carbon molecules,a common trait of comets. The dust tail and faint ion tail are just visible.13899552 - A framing of the major areas of bright and dark nebulosity in Cygnus and Cepheus, showing pink emission nebulas contrasting with dark dusty regions in the Cygnus and into the Perseus arms of the Milky Way. Cepheus is at upper left; northern Cygnus is at right, with the bright Cygnus starcloud right of centre. The reddening (or yellowing) effects of interstellar dust in the spiral arms of the Milky Way is apparent.13834845 - An African elephant, Loxodonta africana, dust bathing. Okavango Delta, Botswana.13900423 - The late winter evening Zodiacal Light, as shot at Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, February 28, 2017. The Light is the glow from sunlight reflecting off cometary dust particles in the inner solar system. It is not an effect of twilight. It is best visible in the evening from northern latitudes in late winter and spring.13897971 - Galaxy and glacier! This is a vertical panorama of the Milky Way Galaxy over Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier in Banff National Park, Alberta. The Summer Triangle stars of Vega, Deneb and Altair are at centre.

The bright star cluster Messier 11,or the Wild Duck Cluster,is left of centre embedded in the Starcloud. The smaller star cluster M26 is below it. At bottom right,the star cluster set in a dark lane and above the blue star is NGC 6649. That blue star has a small reflection nebula around it,IC 1287.13998433 - This was the nearly Full Moon on August 29,2023,on the night before the official "Super Blue Full Moon" of August 30. I shot it here when it was still low in the sky and yellowed by smoke and dust,and set in the deep blue twilight sky.13998387 - Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) on the night of January 22/23,2023 when it was in Draco,with it near the reddish star Edasich (aka Iota Draconis) at top,and the edge-on galaxy NGC 5907 below the comet. To the right of that galaxy is NGC 5866,aka M102. The dust tail of the comet was showing a strong anti-tail spike ahead of the comet's greenish coma,as this was two days before we crossed the plane of the comet's orbit when we would see its dust tail "edge-on." The coma of the comet is strongly cyan or green from glowing diatomic carbon molecules,common for comets. There was little sign of the blue ion ta13899972 - The Scutum Starcloud (at top) in the Milky Way, with the Milky Way also bright to the south in Serpens. The nebulas M16 and M17 are at the bottom of the field. The bright star cluster M11, the Wild Duck Cluster, is at the top on the northern edge of the Scutum Starcloud. The area is rife with dark nebulas and dust lanes.13899801 - This is the field in Vulpecula the Fox that contains the famous planetary nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula aka Messier 27, at left, but also the faint emission nebulas NGC 6820 at right and Sharpless 2-88 above it. The small star cluster below centre is NGC 6830. A small star cluster, NGC 6823, lies embedded in NGC 6820. The field is yellowed by the interstellar dust reddening distant objects.13899109 - The Pleiades, aka Messier 45, embedded in the dusty nebulosity the star cluster is passing through in Taurus. The dust clouds are illuminated by light from the hot young blue stars.13898737 - A selfie observing Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) with binoculars on the dark moonless night of July 14/15, 2020 from Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. A faint aurora colours the sky green and magenta. The faint blue ion tail of the comet is visible in addition to its brighter dust tail. The ground is illuminated by starlight and aurora light only.13837500 - A Dust Devil hits migrating Burchell's Zebra, Equus Quagga Burchellii in the Serengeti. Ndutu, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.13999246 - This is a portrait of the complex of nebulosity in northern Cygnus,with many wreaths and arcs of hydrogen gas interspersed with patches and tendrils of dark dust of varying densities. The main nebula is the North America (NGC 7000) at upper left,with the smaller Pelican Nebula (IC 5067) beside it in the "Atlantic Ocean." At bottom right is the Gamma Cygni complex,aka the Butterfly Nebula or IC 1318,while at the bottom right edge is the small arc of the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). The field is filled with other fainter nebulas catalogued in the Sharpless and DWB catalogues. Above Gamma Cygni ri13999028 - This is the complex of nebulosity around the star Gamma Cygni,aka Sadr,in central Cygnus,and labeled IC1318 or the Butterfly Nebula. The star cluster NGC 6910 is at top centre. The dark dust lane cutting through the nebula is catalogued as Lynds Dark Nebula 889.13998744 - This is a framing of the starfield in the Milky Way from Sagitta the Arrow,at bottom,to the planetary nebula Messier 27 or the Dumbbell Nebula in Vulpecula at top. The globular star cluster M71 is at lower left in Sagitta. The sparse open cluster NGC 6830 is at top right. Interstellar dust dims and yellows the starfield.13899076 - Comet Lovejoy, C/2014 Q2 amid the clusters, nebulas and dark dust clouds of Taurus and Perseus, on Friday, January 16, 2016. Its long blue ion tail stretches back at least 15°, almost to the open cluster NGC 1647 on Taurus at the left edge. At centre is the Pleiades star cluster, M45; at top right is the red California Nebula, NGC 1499, in Perseus, while the field is filled with the dark dusty lanes of the Taurus Dark Clouds. At left is the red giant star Aldebaran amid the V-shaped Hyades star cluster.13897728 - Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) over the still waters this night of Crawling Lake in southern Alberta. The Big Dipper is at top. Even in this short exposure, the two tails — dust and ion — are visible. This was July 20, 2020. The blue ion tail is extending up into the Bowl of the Big Dipper, for some 20° in length. Very impressive!13834776 - A lioness, Panthera leo, kicking up a dust cloud as she runs. Chobe National Park, Kasane, Botswana.13999660 - The arcs and wisps of the Veil Nebula supernova remnant in Cygnus,framed with the open star cluster NGC 6940 in Vulpecula at lower right. The area is marked by a sharp transition between clear starry sky in the Millky Way and brownish-yellow areas obscured by interstellar dust with fewer stars visible. The nebula colours show up well despite this being a "stock" camera,with no filters employed.13999304 - This is a framing of an array of emission nebulas in Cygnus: the bright North America Nebula (NGC 7000) at right,and to the right of it,the Pelican Nebula (IC 5067/8). Those bright nebulas are set amid a complex of fainter nebulosity,notably the Clamshell Nebula at left,as it has become known recently,and catalogued as Sharpless 2-119. At bottom right is the curving Cygnus Arc,aka IC 5068. The small star cluster NGC 7044,yellowed by interstellar dust,is below the Clamshell. The nebulas are marked by lots of structure and radial streaks,perhaps from magnetic fields.13998926 - African elephant calf (Loxodonta africana) walking in the dust,Mashatu Game Reserve,Botswana.13899241 - This is a portrait of the southern region of Cepheus the King that takes in the red emission nebulas in the constellation. The area is also laced with dark lanes of dust.13898763 - Comet NEOWISE (C/2020 F3) reflected in the still waters this night of Crawling Lake in southern Alberta. A dim aurora at right colours the sky magenta. Lingering twilight colours the sky blue. A meteor or more likely a flaring satellite appears at right and is also reflected in the water. Even in this short exposure, the two tails — dust and ion — are visible. This was July 20, 2020.13897883 - This is a portrait of Cassiopeia the Queen that takes in the red emission nebulas in the constellation as well as recording some of the larger star clusters. The area is also laced with dark lanes of dust.13999232 - This is the field containing the bright,large,but sparse star cluster Messier 39 in Cygnus,at lower left,amid a rich starfield laced with dark dust.
