Hubble Space Telescope

Round and round we go... In this new #HubbleFriday image, the spiral galaxy NGC 3596 shines from 90 million light-years away. From Hubble's perspective in low-Earth orbit, NGC 3596 appears face-on, showcasing the galaxy’s neatly wound spiral arms. These bright arms hold concentrations of stars, gas, and dust, that mark where star formation is most active, seen as the brilliant pink star-forming regions and young blue stars tracing NGC 3596’s arms. Researchers believe that spiral arms represent a pattern of high-density and low-density areas rather than a physical structure. As stars, gas, and dust orbit within a galaxy’s disk, they pass in and out of the spiral arms. Like cars moving through a traffic jam, these materials slow down and bunch up as they enter a spiral arm, before emerging and continuing their journey through the galaxy. Discover more at the link in our bio! Image description: A spiral galaxy viewed face-on, with a slightly oval-shaped disk. The galaxy’s center appears as a bright white spot surrounded by a golden glow. Two spiral arms extend out from the center, wrapping around the galaxy and broadening out to form the thick outer edge of the disk. Thin reddish strands of dust and bright pink spots follow the arms through the disk. Faint strands of stars extend from the tips of the spiral arms and out beyond the disk.

Another two workshops in Tuscany are done, two amazing groups who got amazing conditions! Everything from epic clouds to atmospheric mornings. Here is a brand new drone photo from a cool line of cypress trees on a backlit morning. I just love the shadows, lines and background atmosphere. A very graphical photo 🤩 One of the chapters in my ebook ‘Landscape Light’ is all about backlighting and how you can use it in your landscape photography. The ebook is 251 pages making it my most comprehensive ebook to date! The minimal text and tons of examples makes it easy to read though! Not to mention I have added extensive Exif data to all the photos! If you still haven’t got it there is a link in my bio. Happy learning 🤓

The road to the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park is finally open again! This means you can access the famous Hall of Mosses Trail, Spruce Nature Trail, and more 🌲🌿 The Hoh River flooded back in December 2024 and ripped away a section of the Upper Hoh Road. It has been closed ever since. Emergency funding from the state government and private donations have allowed for repairs to be completed earlier than expected. Just in time for summer adventures! If you visit please follow Leave No Trace principles, including staying on the trails, packing out of all your trash, and not feeding wild animals. ⚠️ Note that the Hoh Rainforest Campground is still closed and the river doesn’t open to fishing until June 1. #olympicnationalpark #hohrainforest #hallofmosses #olympicpeninsula #washingtonstate | national parks hiking | olympic peninsula | washington state hiking trails
