Celestial Log
NASA Observation
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying NASA’s Pandora small satellite, the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS), Black Hole Coded Aperture Telescope (BlackCAT) CubeSat, and several other payloads stands vertical on the pad at Space Launch Complex 4 East at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, as part of the company’s Twilight mission. Pandora will provide an in-depth study of at least 20 known planets orbiting distant stars to determine the composition of their atmospheres — especially the presence of hazes, clouds, and water. Launch of SpaceX’s Twilight mission is scheduled for 5:44 a.m. PST Jan. 11, from Vandenberg’s Space Launch Complex 4 East.

Stargazer FAQ
Are the colors in this nebula image real?
NASA often uses 'false color' techniques. Scientists map invisible wavelengths (like infrared) or specific gases to visible colors (red, green, blue) to highlight the nebula's structural details.
Can I see this nebula with a standard telescope?
While some bright nebulas are visible with entry-level telescopes, capturing these stunning details usually requires deep-sky astrophotography equipment and long exposures.
