had my maths statistics paper yesterday .
and i just learned statistics 1 day before the paper .
yes , the ENTIRE statistics syllabus ,
thanks to Ms Seah .
it was actually pretty decent , the statistics part .
i could actually DO statistics with confidence for the first time .
and as usual ,
he first section was a turnoff .
_______________
i got extremely fortunate and lucky yesterday night (or today morning) ,
my half-hopeful trip downstairs
turned out to be the most rewarding session .
i caught NEBULAS .
you heard me , yes , nebulas .
but clearly i did not have the equipments ( and skills ) to capture
similarly beautiful images on the books .
but dang , i caught nebulas .
first up , the Pleiades Star Cluster .
here it goes ( im will accompany a untagged photo with a tagged one from now on ,
just for a clearer view without lines and arrows obstructing ) :
click on them for a much clearer view .
Pleiades Star Cluster


Pleiades Star Cluster Closeup


Pleiades Star Cluster, perhaps the most famous nebula in the sky , is also one of the most distinguishable . Also known as the Seven Sisters (Greek mythology), and Subaru to the Japanese (uhmm yes , Subaru car company actually adopted the Pleiades as its car logo)
(thanks to Zane for pointing out its not a nebula , and a star cluster instead)
hmms ,
it may look like just a patch of stars in these pictures (even a patch of stars are amazing) , in actual fact , with the equipments and skills , it'll look like this :

Up next :
Orion Nebula


the brightest and most identifiable nebula in the sky .
nuff' said .
