Event Horizon - Astronomical and Terrestrial Images

Home > Astronomical Images Most viewed - Astronomical Images Sunspots724 viewsThe Sun in this early-pre-totality eyepiece-projection shot is too big to fit into the frame, but the sunspots do show up well. Post-Totality 4724 viewsAt this point I ran out of film, so I didn't make it to Fourth Contact with the post-totality images. Sharpless2-136, the Ghost Nebula724 viewsReflection nebula in Cepheus. 1470 light-years distant, near the cluster NGC 7023. Post-Totality 2723 viewsThe Moon is rising, the Sun is setting. How will this end? Diamond Ring722 viewsA blazing diamond ring heralds Third Contact, the end of totality. 11-1/2 Minutes after Third Contact722 viewsC3 + 11 min 37 sec Messier 90, Spiral Galaxy in Virgo722 views59 million light-years away. Contains little gas and dust and hence does not have much star formation; believed to be evolving into a lenticular galaxy. Sh2-106 - Snow Angel Nebula719 viewsEmission nebula and star forming region in Cygnus, about 2000 light-years from Earth. Markarian's Chain718 viewsPart of Markarian's Chain, a group of galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. Visible in the photo are NGCs 4477, 4473, 4461, 4458, 4438 and 4435. Not visible are M84 and M86, which are out of the frame to the right - my telescope's field of view is not big enough to capture them all. The annular solar eclipse of October 14, 2023 - Montage of 24 images718 viewsA montage illustrating the progress of the annular eclipse of October 14, 2023, as seen from Bryce Point, Bryce Canyon, Utah, from immediately prior to first contact to immediately after fourth contact Totality - a few seconds after Second Contact717 viewsAfter the eclipse went total, I had to try several different exposure settings to get it right - 1/2 second seemed to work best. M97 - The Owl Nebula717 viewsPlanetary nebula in the constellation Ursa Major, 2030 light-years distance from Earth and about 8000 years old. The blurred appearance results from the fact that it consists of several overlapping shells of gas. The shells are not entirely concentric, but form a barrel-like structure which gives rise to the owl-like appearance. 257 files on 22 page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 - 22 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 1190548deef2102be351d6fe53c243e3 [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 726 [1] => 724 [2] => 716 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.24 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.12 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = 'aa50a7d06b8e3a13b5824312464c0460' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.08 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.09 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.06 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.09 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.06 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.07 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-07-30 03:34:24' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.86 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.63' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.41 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.27 ms) [11] => SELECT name FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 [thumbnails.php:157] (0.08 ms) [12] => SELECT rgt, lft, depth FROM cm_categories WHERE cid = 2 LIMIT 1 [include/functions.inc.php:44] (0.07 ms) [13] => SELECT cid FROM cm_categories WHERE lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8 [include/functions.inc.php:49] (0.04 ms) [14] => SELECT keyword FROM cm_albums WHERE category IN (2, 12, 13) [include/functions.inc.php:57] (0.04 ms) [15] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 2 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.06 ms) [16] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (5.02 ms) [17] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid INNER JOIN cm_categories AS c2 ON c2.cid = category WHERE (c2.lft BETWEEN 3 AND 8) AND (1 OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%' OR keywords like '%27telp%') AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 36 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (8.03 ms) [18] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.17 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => 2 [page] => 4 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiIxMTkwNTQ4ZGVlZjIxMDJiZTM1MWQ2ZmU1M2MyNDNlMyI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjM6e2k6MDtzOjM6IjcyNiI7aToxO3M6MzoiNzI0IjtpOjI7czozOiI3MTYiO319 [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => b11543ffb99ee76606024e9c7a69245f ) ==========================
