Barnard 86 and Beyond

Image Copyright: Rolf Wahl Olsen

Barnard 86 is a dense molecular cloud visible as a prominent dark patch in the direction toward the galactic centre.

Next to it lies the brilliant young cluster NGC 6520. It most likely condensed out of this cloud only a few million years ago. Also visible is the heavily obscured globular cluster Djorg 2 near the left edge of the image.

The background is a rich blanket of tens of thousands of stars in the Milky Way’s central bulge. Among them a couple of deep red carbon stars stand out, for example one half way between Barnard 86 and Djorg 2.

SpaceX’s Historic Rendezvous With the Space Station

The ISS and Dragon (along with the Soyuz capsule of Expedition 31) orbit the earth roughly every 90 minutes, providing plenty of opportunities for sunrise and sunset photos.
