The Hubble Space Telescope's legendary Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 has produced one of its last images, a gorgeous shot of a planetary nebula. The nebula, a colorful cloud of gas and dust named Kohoutek 4-55 (or K 4-55), has an eye that appears to be looking right back at Hubble. The image was taken May 4 and released today. Monday, NASA aims to send the space shuttle Atlantis to Hubble, where astronauts will replace the camera with the Wide Field Camera 3, among other upgrades and fix-it projects.

Most memorable was a star like, dim point of light, barely visible in my field of view (FOV) while setting up for some lunar imaging. The point of light came into my FOV heading towards the edge of the limb on a first quarter moon.

My first thought was satellite? Nope. Within about one second the point of light disappeared behind the limb, and never exited, that I could see, as I rotated the instrument as fast as I could, thinking it might have been an asteroid in near earth orbit or??

This entire event lasted approximately 2 seconds.

I was stunned beyond belief, and angry as 2 minutes later I would have had the camera in place and possibly could have captured this point of light.

Interesting.

You might consider keeping extra alert the next 10-15 days.

Some folks think there’ll be disclosure managed by the OThuga regime.

IF SO,

There might be some extra . . . displays . . . leading up thereto.

There’s a map somewhere on the net of sightings this year . . . I’ll see if I can find it.

Might be possible to keep things sort of turned in the nearest direction of such.

Blessings,
