dazed .

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 : thats a comet on the right , and Pleiades on the left .

Up next :


Orion Nebula

Orion Nebula in the Orion Hunter Constellation .
the brightest and most identifiable nebula in the sky .
nuff' said .
