Astronomers sure do conjure up a lot of spooky images when they look out into deep space. A short Halloween thread:

Let's start with the Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43). 🧪🔭

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap24102...
What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? One contender is LDN 43, which bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, this molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection nebula LBN 7. Far from being a harbinger of death, this 12-light year-long filament of gas and dust is actually a stellar nursery. Glowing with eerie light, the bat is lit up from inside by dense gaseous knots that have just formed young stars.

First two weeks of the month: Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) is passing through Ophiuchus. It is visible in the early evening, getting lower and gradually fainter each day. It will still be a nice #astrophotography target, if you have a good southwest horizon. #A6Lemmon

Lynds Dark Nebula 43, a.k.a. the Cosmic Bat nebula

#APOD 🧪🔭
The 43rd object of Beverly Lynds' 1962 Catalogue of Dark Nebulae, fondly known as the Cosmic Bat nebula. While its visage looks alarmingly like a scary flying mammal, Lynds Dark Nebula 43 is over 12 light-years across. Glowing with eerie light, stars are forming within the dusty interstellar molecular cloud that is dense enough to appear in silhouette against a luminous background of Milky Way stars. This Cosmic Bat nebula is a mere 400 light-years distant toward the serpent-bearing constellation Ophiuchus.

Debates exist over Ophiuchus as the "13th star sign". The Babylonians, who lived over 3,000 years ago, divided the zodiac into 12 parts-however there were 13 constellations, so they picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. (Image below right by printmaker Sarah Morgan #Womensart)

It occurred to me while working on my walkable VR galactic atlas that many people will be completely unfamiliar with galactic structures like the Orion-Eridanus bubble or the Ophiuchus dust cloud. So I thought that I'd add a solar system map so people could start with something more familiar.

17 October 1604: Kepler's Supernova was observed in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It's the most recent supernova in the Milky Way to have been unquestionably observed by the naked eye, and is named for the German astronomer, Johannes Kepler, who described it in De Stella Nova. #History #astronomy

A joint commission @alloart.bsky.social and I received from the lovely @gatoiberico.bsky.social featuring characters from our Bramble game. On a "Not Date", the star druid Ophiuchus watches a meteor shower with the ratfolk Toby, sharing stories from his colony and getting to know each other.

Ich bin ja Schlangenträger (Ophiuchus). Die gelten als schlau, frech, ein bisschen dumm, infantil, mit großem Herzen, links, antifaschistisch, häufig müde, oft gelangweilt, ständig gereizt und schwer zu ertragen.

Reminder: Ophiuchus is not the "13th sign of the Zodiac", or a Zodiac sign at all.

Cosmic Bat Nebula (LDN 43)

In the constellation Ophiuchus, some 1,400 light-years from Earth, a giant cosmic bat seems to fly across the stars.

An exceptional mosaic floor was found from Pompeii's House of Orion, depicting symbols for constellations. Hercules, Ophiuchus, Scorpio and Hydra all appear in the same spatial order seen in the night sky. "Catasterism," the transformation of mythical heroes into celestial bodies, might be involved.

Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, as observed by JWST and processed by John Bozeman.
www.astrobin.com/9phmby/
🔭 🧪
This image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shows the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, a massive star-forming region located about 450 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. The complex is home to a variety of young stars, as well as nebulae, which are clouds of gas and dust where new stars are born. The bright, central region of the image is where many of the most massive stars in the complex are forming. The cooler gas and dust in the outer regions of the image are sculpted by the winds and jets from these young stars.
