Behold: the fantastic star-formation region near the edge of NGC 2174, aka The Monkey’s Head Nebula in the constellation of Orion, about 6,400 light-years away. To wit:
It follows mountainous clouds of gas and dust carved by winds and radiation from the region’s newborn stars, now found scattered in open star clusters embedded around the center of NGC 2174, off the top of the frame. Though star formation continues within these dusty cosmic clouds they will likely be dispersed by the energetic newborn stars within a few million years. Recorded at infrared wavelengths by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2014, the interstellar scene spans about 6 light-years. Scheduled for launch in 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope is optimized for exploring the Universe at infrared wavelengths.

The Hendron’s Building,
A protected structure in Dominick Street Upper, Dublin 7.
Paddy Cahill writes:
A little bit late but the deadline for observations to An Bord Pleanála is tomorrow [Tuesday] at 5.30pm for observations about the proposed development at Hendron’s Building.
The proposal is to build a large co-living scheme there around the building (one of the few Modernist buildings on the city’s Record of Protected Structures).
I made a quick video (above) the other day about the building…More details here.

Chris Ledwidge – No. 17 in G minor for Solo Piano
Music for the bleak midwinter.
Limerick-based composer Chris Ledwidge is working on a 4 EP project with a seasonal theme which will cover all of the different textures he is currently writing in: Classical in Winter; Ambient in Spring; Electronic in Summer; and a combination with an Ensemble title for Autumn.
This featured piece is from the winter EP.
Chris says:
“Each sound has its own EP release but they will all exist within the same compositional world with threads connecting each release through the year.”
Chris is also a member of the band Athens.
Nick says: How sweet the change from major to minor.
