Nebulae in the Northern Cross
I really liked this picture a lot for many reasons. For one, the picture is stunningly beautiful as is almost every picture that they decide to post on the site. However, the contrast between the dark reds and dark blacks makes for an intense photo. Also, I enjoyed how they labeled everything in the picture. It didn't take away from the beauty by putting too much notation on it, but instead I could easily understand what was going on. I think the highlight of this picture astronomically is the bright intense Deneb. It's so obvious as to which star Deneb is even without the notation because of how bright it is. Alberio is suprisingly bright too. The Northern Cross asterism is widely popular and all of this is happening in the constellation Cygnus. With all of this going on, how does Cygnus not get a ton of recognition for its beauty? Maybe it does as it should. Also even outside of the main focus of the photograph lies the veil nebulae which in and of themselves are beautiful. Nature created something incredibly beautiful this time around.
