Oh, deer! It’s that time of year 🌕🦌 Look up to the skies tomorrow! The Buck Moon is set to reach peak illumination in the early morning hours but your best viewing opportunity will be in the evening shortly after sunset. Where do you plan to moongaze from?

Sparkly, swirly, and surprising 🌌 @ChandraXray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.
A straight on view of the spiral galaxy Messier 83. There is a brilliant white and yellow pool of light at the center. From that light, hot pink clouds corkscrew out in wide, sweeping arches. The galaxy is covered in a faint grey haze, and flecked with red, green, blue, white, and yellow dots. Credit: Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO; Optical: NASA/ESA/AURA/STScI, Hubble Heritage Team, W.
