The skies over Newmarket last night were bloody beautiful. Tags:United Kingdom 7 comments [removed] Brightest sky I remember seeing was from in front of my cottage in Dalham. Best view I’ve ever had of The Milky Way. If you follow the three stars in Orion’s belt up there is a banana shaped object. What is that. Pity much of Newmarket under the sky ain’t so beautiful. See that big dipper looking thing there, that’s Alan the Cowboy. It’s heartbreaking you think this is a beautiful sky. That horrible, horrible skyglow. In case you’re unaware the line of ‘stars’ below Orion’s Belt has the Orion Nebula at its centre. You can see the fuzzyness of the nebula in your photo. It looks pretty amazing through fancy astronomy equipment – https://earthsky.org/clusters-nebulae-galaxies/orion-nebula-jewel-in-orions-sword/ Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
