Welcome to StageFright Astrophotos
"It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known." - Carl Sagan

Explore Nebulae
An Emission Nebula is a brilliant, glowing cloud of ionized gas found in the depths of space. Illuminated by the intense radiation from nearby young, hot stars, these nebulae shine with vivid colors, primarily in the rich reds of ionized hydrogen. Emission nebulae are fascinating celestial objects that come in several varieties to include H II Region, Supernova Remnants and Planetary Nebulae.
Galaxies & Star Clusters
Galaxies are vast and mysterious collections of stars, gas, and dust that are scattered throughout the universe. They come in all shapes and sizes, spiral galaxies with swirling arms to irregular galaxies with no defined shape. Each galaxy is unique and holds within it countless wonders waiting to be discovered.
That's No Moon, Oh wait.
The Moon, Earth’s constant celestial companion, orbits at an average distance of 238,855 miles (384,400 kilometers) from our planet. Its origin, as revealed by the most widely accepted theory, the Giant Impact Hypothesis, traces back to a cataclysmic event. In the primordial past, a Mars-sized protoplanet known as Theia collided with Earth, and from the resulting cosmic debris, the Moon was born—a testament to the violent and wondrous forces that shaped our solar system.
