The Dragon's Egg is a southern hemisphere nebula flying about 3900 light-years away -- right next door. The star in the middle is causing all the ruckus, ionizing hydrogen (red stuff) and oxygen (blue stuff). I processed this using data from a CDK20 scope in Chile. #astrophotography

I love how mortals attempt to label me, to confine me within the boundaries of their fleeting squabbles, yet they fail. I am neither one nor the other, for I am so much more. I am everything and nothing—Alpha and Omega, a being of infinite depth and boundless eternity adrift in the vast cosmos. ✨

Some are worried about the small asteroid 2024 YR4 (40 to 90 meters in diameter), which has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032 at a distance of 120,000 km due to a recent orbital change, while the much larger Apophis (375 meters in diameter) will pass Earth at a distance of 32,000 km in 2029.
