M11 - The Wild Duck Cluster638 viewsOne of the richest, most compact and most massive open clusters known; estimates range from 3,700 to 11,000 solar masses. Radius 95 light-years. 6,120 light-years away, in the constellation Scutum. Supposedly the cluster resembles a flying flock of ducks, although as far as I can tell it could just as well be geese, crows or magpies.

NGC 7009 - The Saturn Nebula637 viewsA planetary nebula in the constellation Aquarius, at a distance of about 5000 light-years, with a superficial resemblance to the planet Saturn. This image does not do it justice, because a much larger telescope is required to resolve the complex internal structure of the nebula.

A literary locale with a Lilliputian library637 viewsThe books themselves are not Lilliputian, of course, but regardless, this mini-library is one of my favorite features of the house, a dead giveaway that its owners are cultivated Corypheans of the community.
