Christmas Decorated Homes.

Besides decorating the interior of our homes for Christmas, some would also give attention to the exterior. These brightly coloured magical front and backyards are a delight to the senses during this season. No doubt the volume of lightbulbs used is quite abnormal, but of necessity, to make them eye catchingly attractive, requiring a heavy capital expense each year. It is not just the lights but the creativity that goes into it that is much appreciated by everyone. This series below are from various locations, with more photographs from Westfield in Sussex, the U.K., where a whole street have got together to light up their corner of the town.

NGC 7380: The Wizard Nebula.
Image Credit & Copyright: Rolf Geissinger. Located only 8,000 light years away, the Wizard nebula surrounds developing open star cluster NGC 7380. Visually, the interplay of stars, gas, and dust has created a shape that appears to some like a fictional medieval sorcerer. The active star forming region spans 100 about light years, making it appear larger than the angular extent of the Moon. The Wizard Nebula can be located towards the constellation of the King of Aethiopia (Cepheus). Although the nebula may last only a few million years, some of the stars being formed may outlive our Sun.

Known as “the prehistoric Sistine Chapel,” the Lascaux Caves, a cave complex in southwestern France, contain some of the most remarkable palaeolithic cave paintings in the world, from at least 15,000 years ago. The cave was discovered on 12 September 1940 by four teenagers, Marcel Ravidat, Jacques Marsal, Georges Agnel, and Simon Coencas, as well as Ravidat’s dog, Robot. Public access was made easier after World War II. By 1955, the carbon dioxide produced by 1,200 visitors per day had visibly damaged the paintings. The cave was closed to the public in 1963 in order to preserve the art.
