    NML Cygni is a red hypergiant or red supergiant (RSG) in the constellation Cygnus. It is possibly one of the largest known stars currently known by radius, and is also possibly one of the most luminous and massive cool hypergiants, as well as one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way.

    Anyone have an idea of what this might be? If you zoom to the middle of the photo you’ll see two parallel lines surrounded by a red glow

    Seen from my backyard last night around 7:40 PM in the Northeast

    Last night was in the backyard and looked up i usually spot satellites, but never this early in the evening , seeing this straight line of look like satellites I’m thinking maybe star link? What do you guys think? I took two videos, but unable to post them so this is a screenshot.

    A quasar outshining its surrounding host galaxy. At right, a coronagraph is used to block the quasar's light, making it easier to detect the surrounding host galaxy.

    This image, taken using an R-band filter, shows the quasar APM 08279+5255, located 12 billion light years away, surrounded by an immense amount of water. The observed quantity of water is approximately 140 trillion times greater than the total amount of water on Earth.

    Venus dayside synthesized false color image by UVI (2017 Aug 11)

    A synthesized false color image of Venus using 283-nm and 365-nm images taken by UVI. Images are colorized as follows: 283 nm → blue; 365 nm → red; mixture of both → green. In the 283 nm band observed by UVI, there is an absorption band of sulfur dioxide (SO2). Also, there is an absorption band of an unidentified chemical substance in the 365 nm band. For example, it can be said that the amount of SO2 is relatively low in the bluish areas in this image.

    NGC 5468 is the most distant galaxy in which Hubble has identified Cepheid variable stars. These are important milepost markers for measuring the expansion rate of the Universe.
