This reef was significantly destroyed 1988 during a volcanic eruption and the flow of lava over it. However, it has made quite a recovery, leaving scientists astonished; in a few years only the coral  mostly Acropora species  rapidly grew back and currently thrives, a unique happening since in other reef locations around the world, the coral does not grow back at all after the eruption of a volcano. \nThe coral reef of Gunung Api is pristine now, has vaste areas with no bleached or damaged corals (May 2023). Banda Island is in the coral triangle, the roughly triangular area of the tropical marine waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste that contain at least 500 species of reef-building corals in each ecoregion. \nNear Banda Island, Indonesia, 4°30'41.556 S 129°53'19.056 E

Galaxy background with yellow comet
Comet C/ 2017 K 2 Pan STARRS passing by the Blue Horsehead Nebula in the constellation Scorpius. \nAn upside down horse head encounters a visitor from far far away as seen from earth. \nThe comet was relatively close at the time-17 light minutes from us- about twice as far as the sun roughly speaking - while the Blue Horsehead nebula is 400 light YEARS distant.\n\n Comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) had been traveling from the Oort cloud for some 3 million years in a hyperbolic orbit around our sun.\n\nIts nucleus is about 18 km or so in diameter;  its cometary atmosphere  (“coma”) is about 130,000 km in diameter, and its tail – clearly visible in this image -is estimated at 800, 000 km !\nThe Blue Horsehead – upside down* in this image because this was imaged from the Southern Hemisphere, from a dark site near Sydney last Sunday is a “reflection nebula”; so called because these nebulas are actually made up of very fine dust that normally appears dark but can look quite blue when reflecting the light of energetic nearby stars. In this case, the source of much of the reflected light is a star at the “eye” of the horse.

NGC 6946, sometimes referred to as the Fireworks Galaxy, is a face-on intermediate spiral galaxy with a small bright nucleus, whose location in the sky straddles the boundary between the northern constellations of Cepheus and Cygnus. Its distance from Earth is about 25.2 million light-years.
This is a time-lapse image of Comet Lulin at it's closest approach to the earth on February 24, 2009.  There are a total of 10 images stacked upon each other.  Each image exposure was 5 minutes.  If you examine the image closely, you will see 10 \
June 5, 2024, Cape Canaveral, FL:  An Atlas V rocket carrying a Boeing Starliner spacecraft and crew for the first time. The rocket ascends into the sky, its bright flames contrasting against the clear blue backdrop. A trail of smoke follows the rocket, marking its path as it pierces through a soft cloud. \nViewed from public beach.
