The burrowing owl lives its life the opposite of most owls. Rather than being active at night and living in trees, this bird spends the day awake and makes its home on the ground, Magle said.
The Southern Owl Nebula (PLN 283+25.1, ESO 378-1) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra. The nebula lies at a distance of 2,030 light years from Earth. It is named so because of its resemblance to the Owl Nebula in Ursa Major. [2] The nebula is notably symmetric, round, and has a diameter of approximately four light-years ...
Life on this planet is vulnerable. Yet it’s also capable of resilience. Flaco the Eurasian eagle-owl, loosed and now living comfortably in Central Park, is an urban survival story relatable to many.
The Messier catalogue comprises nearly all of the most spectacular examples of the five types of deep-sky object – diffuse nebulae, planetary nebulae, open clusters, globular clusters, and galaxies – visible from European latitudes. Furthermore, almost all of the Messier objects are among the closest to Earth in their respective classes ...
