ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY: IC 342: The Hidden Galaxy. Image Credit & Copyright: Arturas Medvedevas. IC 342 is a mere 10 million light-years in the northern constellation Camelopardalis. IC 342’s light is dimmed and reddened by intervening cosmic clouds, obscuring the galaxy’s own dust, young star clusters, and glowing pink star forming regions along spiral arms that wind far from the galaxy’s core.

WORK OF ART: This ancient Byzantine Nativity picture, Mosaics of the Capella Palatina in Palermo, Sicily, has survived as a fresco made from coloured glass and stone fragments, on a high wall, and hence not subject to damp or vandals. Dated 1150 AD, the artist is simply labelled as Master of the Palace Chapel. Mary and Jesus are central in this composite picture, surrounded by singing angels, shepherds with gifts, the Three Wise Men, a perturbed Joseph waking from his dream of danger, and Salome and the midwife.
