Erotic Mythology 🌹

@mythology In Orion's case, #Helios is the one to restore his eyesight instead of blinding him. The original pissbaby, #Orion was born from Zeus, Poseidon & Hermes urinating on a cowhide that they buried in the earth. He was blinded for raping Merope, the daughter of King Oinopion of Chios:

"Orion took Kedalion upon his shoulders and used to carry him about while he pointed out the roads. Then he came to the east and appears to have met Helios and to have been healed."
Hesiod, Astronomy Frag. 4

M42 (Great Orion Nebula), M43 (de Mairan's) and the Running Man Nebulae

Couldn't resist a super-clear moonless night on Wednesday. So I shot an old well-known classic, HDR of 1s, 30s and 180s subs totalling 6.25hr data to preserve both highlights (Trapezium cluster) and the vast swathes of dust and veins of dark nebulae.

HDR astrophoto of M42 (the Great Nebula in Orion), M43 (de Mairan's nebula) and the Running Man reflection nebula. An HDR of 300*1s + 20*30s + 100_180s totalling 6.25hr integration time.

Just over a week ago, @starstryder posted a wonderful piece on the life of open clusters. If you missed it, wander over here... astrodon.social/@starstryder/1

This inspired me to do a quick one night tour of the features she described.

To my shame, I had never heard of the Hyades Cluster, so that was a particular adventure for me. It also proved too much of a challenge for my little Dwarf3 - the 3 degree FoV is just not quite enough to capture the whole cluster.

Now, these are not the greatest shots of these features - I had work the next day, so I had to cram everything into about 1 1/2 hours. Great astrophotography this is not. But what it is is a tour through time. It was, however, also a chance to test out the scheduling feature of the beta software for the Dwarf.

Astrodon - The Astro CommunityDr Pamela L Gay (@starstryder@astrodon.social)One of my favorite things to do with students in the late fall is to take them outside and point first to the Orion nebula, then to the Pleiades, and finally to the Hyades cluster, saying, “These are snapshots in the evolution of open clusters.” Each of these systems is the home of young stars, but while the Orion nebula is very much a stellar nursery, with stars just 10 million years old or younger, the Pleiades, is more like a daycare center with stars 100 million years old or younger. At the same time, Hyades is more like an afterschool program for stars 730 million years old or younger. All these systems are filled with celestial children. In their youth, these stars still gather in clumps. But, as they age, the stars will drift apart until, as adults, they have no memory of the place they were born. Our Sun is one of these solitary stars and every time I introduce my students to these three open clusters, they ask what happened to the open cluster where our Sun was born. The truth is, the cluster and our Sun had a falling out. Read more on Substack https://open.substack.com/pub/starstryder/p/our-suns-lost-family
