The Wonderful World of Filters (No Not the Snapchat ones)

Hello my lovely readers (or to whomever is seriously lost)! I’m back with another exciting installment in our weekly adventures in over-analyzing the Orion Nebula. This week we shall be continuing to learn about how to photograph it (OoOoooOO exciting!). Ok enough foolin about, it’s game time. So sit yourselves down, open your ears, it's time to do you some learning! This week we are going to talk about the types of filters you use to photograph the Orion Nebula. There are many types of filters in the world. You’ve got your white girl Starbucks filters, your Instagram model filters, your snapchat filters, and those cringy filters that your parents use to look cool. Now take all of those filters and defenestrate them (here’s your word for the week, Defenestrate means to throw someone or something out of a window, go wild kiddies), just throw them out.


Maybe this pig will learn to fly? (Don't worry this room is on the first floor, the worst that's gonna happen to that pig is it getting stuck in the bush outside the window. Poor Wilbur) 


We are talking about the type of filters that can be used to take pictures of space. There are a wide range of filters. A few of them are, Verde (Green), Infrared, Blue, Red, etc. (Legault 2014). Also when you take a picture of something in space you have to take into account the fact that Earth moves. So if you want to take purdy pictures of that there space you need to get yourself a Mount (Legault 2014). And no I don’t mean a horse, I mean you need to get a specialized machine that will move the telescope along with the movement of Earth (Legault 2014). Ok, Ok that's enough sciencey jargon for one day. Toodaloo readers!!!!

An Artists Rendition of the Planet Gliese 581c Retrieved from: http://www.cosmographica.com/spaceart/exoplanet-gliese581c.html Hello to the few people that read this! (How’s the day going Professor?). I hope you all are ready to have some knowledge thrown at you! So pull a chair up, take a seat, and lets get to learning! Now I know I talk a LOT about space but I never really talk about the planet we live on (Don’t get to excited; I see you perking up a bit back there Tom). Let’s not get too carried away here people; I’m not gonna talk about Earth, Nay Nay, I’m gonna talk about planets that are LIKE Earth (No Tom I’m not talking about Aliens! Sit down before you hurt yourself man). So our favorite people over at NASA have spent many years staring at the sky in hopes they will find a planet like our very own Earth. I bet some of you are getting a bit excited but keep your shirts on, NASA has not found any planets that are 100% like Earth. When I say “Like Earth” I mean how likely y

Hello my good people! Now I know some of y’all are here to listen to me ramble for a couple hundred words (and I love all my readers, that’s right Professor you’re the best!) and the rest of you are wondering how the heck you ended up here (Don’t worry Sam, it’s not like I can see you through your camera or anything… or can I…?). We’re gonna be doing something a bit different this week folks. This week I’m going to tell you about the amazing thing that just happened in recent space news (I like that, “Space News” it sounds very official for something I just made up!) Now that I’ve got your attention (Well most of you… PATRICIA! Gurl pay attention please. I am trying to expand your knowledge, you can text your BFF later. Trust me you might want to hear this….maybe not? Aaand we’ve lost Patricia. Dang! Welp the past in the past they always say!) Let me tell you what happened. So sit yourself down! Open your ears! It’s time to do you some learnin’! Ok backstory time! I’m sure some of you

~Hello everyone~ (or to whomever reads this). This is a blog that I have made for a class I am taking in College. So basically my Professor wanted all of us to each make a blog. So I have made this Astronomy blog and thought to myself "If I have to do this, why not have fun while doing it?" So welcome all who come to this random google blog, welcome to my own personal train wreck. But I will say this, I am not an expert at all when it comes to Astronomy so if I get anything wrong do not hesitate to correct me. Without further adieu, Welcome to Rando Badly Explains Astronomy !
