Here you’ll mostly find stars, nebulae, galaxies, a few forests and oceans, and the occasional late-night thought under the sky. If you like real images, real stories, and a bit of quiet in your timeline, you’re very welcome to stay. Clear skies, dear friends. ✨🔭

The constellation's most notable star, Alderamin (α Cephei), is a white-hued star located about 49 light-years from Earth. Cepheus is also home to several interesting deep sky objects, such as the Fireworks Galaxy (NGC 6946) and the NGC 7538 nebula. #stars
