The Pelican Nebula (IC 5070). This is a hydrogen gas cloud in the constellation Cygnus that lies right next to the North America Nebula. This is an active star forming region 1800 light years away with many young stars ionizing the gas and causing it to glow. I just love the details in this nebula. This Image is an interesting one as it was taken with two different telescopes and cameras. I originally used my 5” refractor and color camera to capture the hydrogen alpha images. I posted that back in June. I completed the image using my 8” RASA and my mono camera to capture the Oiii images. I’m quite happy with the result although it probably would have been better if I used the 5” scope for both images. Telescope: ES127FCD CF f/6, 8”RASA Camera: Zwo Asi071MC Pro and ASI1600MM Pro Exposure: 40x6min, Gain 90 and 90x4min Gain 139 Mount: EQ-6R Pro, Celestron CGX Guiding: ASI 290, 60mm scope Filter: Baader Ha and Oiii Software: APT, DSS, Pixinsight . . . .

Signals from space
Whether you’re scrambling up Mount Everest or trekking the Sahara Desert, you’re never more than a few seconds from your friends. That’s because telephones and the internet, linked by space satellites, can zap messages from any place on Earth to anywhere else at the speed of light.
Earth might seem huge but no two places are more than half its circumference apart- and a beam of light can cover that distance in less than a tenth of a second. When you chat to friends in faraway countries by phone or online, the sound of your voice the image of your face on your webcam, or the message you type is bounced across Earth in less than a second via satellites in space. Signals from space satellites can also tell us exactly where we are. Thanks to technology like GPS (Global Positioning System), getting lost has now become almost impossible.
Assisted GPS
A mobile phone can locate roughly where it is by its connection to the nearest transmitter mast. Assisted GPS uses Wi-Fi and GPS signals to precisely locate a mobile  phone’s so it can tell you exactly where you are.
When signals are blocked by trees or large buildings Assisted GPS is used to help to determine a location
Wi-Fi
Radio-Wave signals from Wi-Fi internet hotspots help mobile phones pinpoint their location.
Mobile Phones
These send and receive calls at the speed of light using microwaves (very small radio waves).
Mobile Phone masts
Mounted on high buildings mast relay calls from mobile phones to the landline phone network
Satellite navigation
A car’s “sat-nav” uses a stored database of maps linked to GPS receiver detects your changing position. A computer in the sat-nav calculates how fast you are moving and continually redraws the map to show your progress.
Satellite
GPS Satellites catch signals from Earth and send new signals straight back large solar panel on it generates electric power from the sun
GPS Signals
No signal satellite could cover every place on Earth at once. That’s why the GPS systems has a network of at least 24 seprate spacecrafts. No matter wherever you are, at least four of them are sending signals to your phones.
Finding your positions
It takes less than a second for a GPS signal to reach Earth from space. Travelling at a speed of light. Knowing how long the signal took, a GPS reciever calculates the how far is the satellite is. Using signals from at least three satellites, it is possible to calculate your precise location.

For next few days it would seem that earth has two suns. Yeah, Betelgeuse won't explode tomorrow but after 100,000 years it will. Even though Betelgeuse is million times bigger than our sun, it has a lifespan of just 10 million years. Wish I'll be alive to see that . . . .

Cupola Over the Caribbean . Clouds trace out the islands of the Caribbean Sea in this photo taken by an astronaut from inside the Cupola on the International Space Station. Beyond the solar arrays and the docked Progress resupply vehicle, the multi-toned waters of the Caribbean and the Atlantic Ocean frame the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, and southern Florida. . The bright turquoise water around the Bahamas contrasts sharply with the darker blues of the open ocean. From above, the contrast allows us to see the Tongue of the Ocean, a submarine canyon descending nearly 4300 meters (14,000 feet) below the surrounding shallow bank. The variable water colors can be explained by the underwater topography and water depth (bathymetry) and how it leads to varying light absorption and reflection. In the clear and shallow waters of the Caribbean, more sunlight reflects off the sand and reef surfaces, causing the water to appear lighter in color. The shallow water that surrounds the Bahamas and outlines the Tongue of the Ocean comprise the Great and Little Bahama Banks. . This photo was captured on a peaceful, if somewhat cloudy, spring day. But in the summertime, this region is known colloquially as “hurricane alley.” Tropical cyclones that form off the coast of Africa and mature in warm Atlantic waters frequently first encounter land at these islands. Unfortunately for residents, the number of named storms in the Atlantic has been increasing in recent years. . .
