Nebulae, Clouds and Giants.
01 May 2022Kerada
Moving on from Coalsack, there are more colourful things to see today. Antares is a huge red supergiant and worth a look. Kathryn parked the carrier near the B star so none of the crew got to see the sight as it's quite a way away. Nor did they see the R CrA Nebula or the Rho Ophiuchi Cloud Complex which are each a few hops away. R CrA is a lovely little nebula that makes a striking colour contrast with the blue of the stars.
We are still relatively close to Sol, so not many new discoveries. Next, I'm heading to Parrot Head by ship where I'll meet up with Kathryn and the crew as they make their own way there. See if I find anything on the way.
