I’m not sure who this art is. I thought it might be Peter Morisi’s, but it’s not quite right. And Charlton is not always great on those credits.

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.

The Orion Nebula is one of the most scrutinized and photographed objects in the night sky, and is among the most intensely studied celestial features. The nebula has revealed much about the process of how stars and planetary systems are formed from collapsing clouds of gas and dust. Astronomers have directly observed protoplanetary disks, brown dwarfs, intense and turbulent motions of the gas, and the photo-ionizing effects of massive nearby stars in the nebula.

The data set used to create this image consisted of several different exposure length times to help keep the core from blowing out.

Orion

The Orion Nebula (M42/M43, NGC1976/1982) This picture shows the great nebula in the constellation of Orion the Hunter. On a good clear night, from a dark site well away from the lights of modern civilization, this glowing cloud of gas and dust can be seen with the naked eye as a fuzzy patch surrounding the star Theta Orionis in the Hunter's Sword, below Orion's belt. It is probably the most spectacular of all the objects cataloged by Charles Messier and now called by their `M' numbers. M42 had been known since the beginnings of recorded astronomy as a star, but it is so outstanding that it was first noted as an extended nebula in 1610, only a year after Galileo's first use of the telescope. Detailed descriptions started appearing later in the seventeenth century, and it has been a popular target for anyone with a telescope ever since. So many details are visible in even a small telescope that M42 will more than repay the observer who makes it a frequent target, and who will find that it is hard to make a realistic sketch that can capture all of the finer features. So outstanding is this nebula that it has two numbers. M43/NGC1982 is the separated portion to the north-east (top left), surrounding an irregular variable star. Although Messier stopped at only two, other parts of the nebula in this region have received further NGC numbers. M42 is our closest example of an HII region, being composed mainly of ionized hydrogen which gives off the red glow so dominant in every picture of the nebula. Deep photographs such as this one show that it is nearly a degree across, larger than the full Moon (although the Moon is so bright that it looks much larger). The energy to keep the nebula glowing comes from the very hot young stars in a formation called the Trapezium, embedded in the brightest part of the nebula and not visible in this photograph. The nebula and the brighter stars are very young indeed by astronomical standards, at about 30000 years. Compare this to our own Sun, which is considered to be a middle-aged star at over four billion years! M42 probably contains several hundred stars younger than a million years, still bursting with the energy of youth. Stars are still being born in a dense cloud behind the nebula, but they are hidden from our view by a concentration of dust which reduces their light to only a million-millionth of its original intensity. Fortunately, astronomers have developed special cameras and other detectors which are sensitive to infra-red radiation, more popularly known as heat, which penetrates the dust and reveals to us this stellar nursery. Although M42 is mostly hydrogen, in both neutral and ionized states, with a fair quantity of dust, it does contain significant amounts of other elements, especially oxygen. The green glow of doubly-ionized oxygen is strongest near the intense ultraviolet starlight at the middle of the nebula. To the north-east (the upper left in this picture) is a feature called the Dark Bay, which is a thick cloud of neutral gas which has not yet been ionized. Location: 05 hrs 35.4 min, -05 deg. 27 min (2000). Distance: nearly 500 parsecs (1600 light-years). Size: about 66 by 60 arc minutes. Mass: about 300 solar masses. Magnitude: 4.0.

Rocky Mountain Coin Inc- Currency

From the Ming Dynasty to the present, Rocky Mountain Coin Inc stocks hundreds of rare and collectible pieces of American and international paper money. 

Economic factors during the American Civil War caused a shortage of gold and silver coins. Which were therefore hoarded for their bullion worth rather than their face value. The U.S. Treasury developed fractional currency to fend against currency speculation (and to provide a way of giving out little change). The 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, and 50 notes were initially given as postal currency to be exchanged for postage stamps between 1862 and 1876. National Bank Notes National banks chartered by the US government issued banknotes denominated in US dollars known as National Bank Notes. The bonds that the bank placed with the US Treasury often served as the notes' security. In addition, banks had to have a redemption reserve in gold or "lawful money" equal to 5% of any outstanding note balance. Although not generally accepted as legal cash, the notes were enough for almost all payments to and by the federal government. The United States government discontinued the use of National Bank Notes as a form of currency in the 1930s, when silver certificates, Federal Reserve Notes, and United States Notes replaced them. Gold Certificates Instead of storing the actual gold, gold owners hold a gold certificate as proof of ownership. It has historical significance as American paper money (1863–1933) as well as contemporary significance as a means of investing in gold. For gold that is allotted (non-fungible) or unallocated (fungible or pooled), banks may issue gold certificates. In the case of a run on the gold on deposit at the issuing bank, unallocated gold certificates, a type of fractional-reserve banking, do not ensure an equal exchange for metal. Although it might be challenging to tell whether a bank is inappropriately allocating a single bar to many parties, allocated gold certificates should be associated with particular numbered bars. Silver certificates Silver certificates are a sort of representational currency that was circulated in the United States between 1878 and 1964. They were created in response to public outrage over the Fourth Coinage Act, which effectively put the US on the gold standard, and in response to public demand for silver. The certificates could be redeemed for their face value in silver dollar coins at first, and then (for a year, from June 24, 1967, to June 24, 1968) they could be redeemed for pure silver bullion. Although they are no longer acknowledged as legal tender because they can only be redeemed for Federal Reserve Notes after 1968, they are still valid legal tender at face value. Large-size silver certificates Large-size silver certificates (1878 to 1923) were issued initially in denominations from $10 to $1,000 (in 1878 and 1880) and in 1886 the $1, $2, and $5 were authorized. In 1928, all United States bank notes were re-designed, and the size reduced. The small-size silver certificate (1928–1964) was only regularly issued in denominations of $1, $5, and $10. The complete set is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. Federal Reserve Bank Notes  Banknotes that were printed between 1915 and 1934 that are still accepted as legal tender in the US include United States Notes, Silver Certificates, Gold Certificates, National Bank Notes, and Federal Reserve Notes. They were outlined in the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and were equal in value to other notes of a like denomination. In contrast to Federal Reserve Notes, Federal Reserve Bank Notes are backed by just one of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks, as opposed to all of them combined. Transparency is Important National Bank Notes were intended to be replaced with Federal Reserve Bank Notes, but this did not turn out to be the case. They were issued by Federal Reserve banks as opposed to National Banks but were backed similarly to National Bank Notes by U.S. bonds. Federal Reserve Bank Notes are no longer printed; since 1971, only Federal Reserve Notes have been in circulation in the United States. Large Size Federal Reserve Bank First released in 1915 in denominations of $5, $10, and $20, large-size Federal Reserve Bank Notes shared design cues with both the Federal Reserve Notes and the National Bank Notes of the time. In 1918, additional $1, $2, and $50 bills were printed as a temporary replacement for Silver Certificates, which the Pittman Act had temporarily banned from use. Small Size Federal Reserve Bank Notes In 1933, small-size Federal Reserve Bank Notes were manufactured on the same paper stock as 1929 National Bank Notes as a temporary emergency issue. They were printed in amounts ranging from $5 to $100. A National Bank Note features a line for the president of the national bank to sign, but as Federal Reserve Banks had governors rather than presidents, this line was printed as a bar on the lesser size Federal Reserve Bank Note. After the sentence "Secured by United States bonds deposited with the Treasurer of the United States of America," the words "Or by like deposit of other securities" were added.  The public's hoarding of currency as a result of numerous bank failures that were taking place at the time led to this emergency note issue. The National Banks' capacity to produce their own notes was likewise constrained by this. Federal Reserve Bank Notes in small size stopped being printed in 1934 and haven't been available in banks since 1945. They contain brown seals and serial numbers, just like the vintage National Bank Notes, which are modest size notes. Although they have the same wording "National Currency" at the top of the obverse and a very similar appearance, the bills were issued by different entities and are thought to be of entirely different kinds. Federal Reserve Notes The United States dollar is now printed on Federal Reserve Notes, often known as United States banknotes. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 authorizes the United States Bureau of Engraving and Printing to print the notes. And at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's discretion, to issue them to the Federal Reserve Banks. The notes are subsequently distributed by the Reserve Banks to their member banks. At which time they are converted into Reserve Bank liabilities and US debt. The words "this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private" are printed on each Federal Reserve Note, making them valid forms of payment. They took the place of National Bank Notes, which national banks issued between 1863 and 1935. With permission from the US Treasury. The Federal Reserve Banks guarantee financial assets as collateral for the notes. Mostly Treasury securities and mortgage agency securities, which they buy on the open market with fiat money. United States Notes From 1862 through 1971, the United States issued United States Notes, sometimes referred to as Legal Tender Notes. They were released for a longer period of time than any other type of U.S. paper money, lasting 109 years. The name "greenbacks" came from the older greenbacks, the Demand Notes, which they succeeded in 1862. They are frequently referred to as Legal Tender Notes. Although the First Legal Tender Act, which approved them as a form of fiat money, was renamed the United States Notes. In the 1860s, the notes' alleged second duty read as follows on the back: This Note is payable in repayment of all loans made to the United States and is a legal tender for all debts, public and privat. With the exception of duties on imports and interest on the public debt. When compared to contemporary American currency, United States Notes issued in the large-size format prior to 1929 look very different. But those issued in the small-size format beginning in 1929 look very similar to modern Federal Reserve Notes of the same denominations, with the exception of having red U.S. Treasury Seals and serial numbers in place of green ones. The United States still recognizes existing United States Notes as legal tender; however, since no new United States Notes have been created since January 1971. They are become harder to find in circulation and are worth more as numismatic collectibles than their face value.
