Antennae Galaxies in Near-Infrared Source: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap020411.html #galaxycolision #antennaeglaxies #gc4038 #gc4039 #asronomy#space cosmos #starfomation #ifrare #wirc #palomarobsevatory #haletelescope

A false-color image of the Antennae Galaxies, taken in near-infrared light by the Wide-field InfraRed Camera (WIRC) on the Palomar Observatory's 200-inch Hale telescope. The image shows the two galaxies in the process of colliding, with their nuclei clearly visible and surrounded by newly formed star clusters.  The northern nucleus is obscured in optical images, but is revealed here to have a barred, mini-spiral structure.

Went birding at RSPB Buckenham this morning, 38 species of birds plus Water Deer and a new fungus for me, Pleated Inkcap! Here are Mute Swans, a pair of Pink-footed Geese, a female Eurasian Kestrel, and a Grey Heron.

Four Mute Swans swim in water with reeds. These are large duck-like birds with long necks. The hindmost is an adult which is white with a black face and orange bill. The three in front are immatures with grayish brown bodies and faces and a pinkish bill.
Two Pink-footed Geese stand in a grassy field, somewhat obscured by grass in this low-resolution photo. These geese are medium sized duck-like birds with brown plumage and short pink and black bills.
A female Eurasian Kestrel hovers against open sky. This small falcon is brown with a streaked chest and barred wings and tail. She has a short sharp beak and is looking down at the ground.
A Grey Heron stands in grass against a reedbed. This tall bird has a long neck and legs and is grey overall with black streaks on the neck and a black eyebrow. It has a long orange-yellow bill.

Nelson Mandela's prison cell on Robben Island, South Africa [2022] #SundayPix#SundayPixBar

The photo is taken through the locked cell door made of vertical and horizontal metal bars through which the whole of the small cell is visible. The walls are painted pale green two thirds of the way up and then white. A small table against the far wall is the only furniture, with a small metal bowl on top. A large barred window above the table lights the cell as it is daytime, an old tube fluorescent light can just be seen on the ceiling.

A view of Hatfield Old Palace (where my wife & I got married!) from Hatfield House #SundayPix#SundayPixBar

The full width of the remaining orange brick Tudor bulding of the Old Palace at Hatfield can be seen across the beautiful gardens with rows of small trees. All this seen through a barred window in the foreground in the "new" Hatfield House
