Heart i'm ok, if you're ok.
Dear Steve

I'm sorry you have been depressed. No reason delete your post or apologize. You did not insult me or anyone here. Your words expressed how you felt at the time - about a picture. I just got worried that the pic really upset you (maybe even more than you said in the post).

I really hope you feel better soon. I know how it is to get depression in waves. It makes everything look darker, and feel darker, and it makes us more sensitive to that darkness we perceive as well.

Thank you for accepting my contribution to the thread. I hope to see you post more of your favorite pics from ASOD here too. We will help with the links! I do enjoy the ASOD pics and I see many of us do, but i don't check them every day. You started a great thread.

I am sending you lots of love and hugs to get you through this tough time. :hearthrob:

Hello, One & All Here -

I also have been especially enjoying and appreciating the thread started here by you, Steve! What great and interesting photos that we'd likely never otherwise get to see!

Hope that you are feeling better soon, Steve.


Best regards,

Theta

2012 December 16 MWC 922: The Red Square Nebula
Please bring this here for everyone to see.
It's a actual square Nebula. I haven't seen anything that is square
In outer space. Everything else rounds out,or is oval. BF

Steve,

This is beautiful and fascinating,

Explanation: What could cause a nebula to appear square? No one is quite sure. The hot star system known as MWC 922, however, appears to be embedded in a nebula with just such a shape. The above image combines infrared exposures from the Hale Telescope on Mt. Palomar in California, and the Keck-2 Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. A leading progenitor hypothesis for the square nebula is that the central star or stars somehow expelled cones of gas during a late developmental stage. For MWC 922, these cones happen to incorporate nearly right angles and be visible from the sides

Smile links for Steve's beautiful APOD find....
Hi Steve,

This is beautiful! I am adding the picture, explanation, and page link below.

Quote:
Explanation: Like a ship plowing through cosmic seas, runaway star Zeta Ophiuchi produces the arcing interstellar bow wave or bow shock seen in this stunning infrared portrait. In the false-color view, bluish Zeta Oph, a star about 20 times more massive than the Sun, lies near the center of the frame, moving toward the left at 24 kilometers per second. Its strong stellar wind precedes it, compressing and heating the dusty interstellar material and shaping the curved shock front. Around it are clouds of relatively undisturbed material. What set this star in motion? Zeta Oph was likely once a member of a binary star system, its companion star was more massive and hence shorter lived. When the companion exploded as a supernova catastrophically losing mass, Zeta Oph was flung out of the system. About 460 light-years away, Zeta Oph is 65,000 times more luminous than the Sun and would be one of the brighter stars in the sky if it weren't surrounded by obscuring dust. The image spans about 1.5 degrees or 12 light-years at the estimated distance of Zeta Ophiuchi.
