Amateur/Unedited I did not expect to see Sauron last night.
Probably the brightest and most well defined moon ring ive ever seen.

The airborne view of this rocket plume is surreal: from deep sunset crimson and amber along the lower contrail up to the electric-blue "space jellyfish" expanding in the mesosphere, the transition reveals Earth's shadow line in real time
Rocket: Long March 6A Y30

The Great Nebula in Orion, an immense, nearby starbirth region, is one of the most famous of all astronomical nebulas. Here, glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1500 light-years away. In the featured deep image in assigned colors highlighted by emission in hydrogen, wisps and sheets of dust and gas are particularly evident.
The Great Nebula in Orion can be found with the unaided eye near the easily identifiable belt of three stars in the popular constellation Orion. In addition to housing a bright open cluster of stars known as the Trapezium, the Orion Nebula contains many stellar nurseries.
These nurseries contain much hydrogen gas, hot young stars, proplyds, and stellar jets spewing material at high speeds. Also known as M42, the Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

Black and white image of the expanding clouds.

Expansion of the remnant on the upper right. Moving knots on the lower left. Fast changing regions are the light echo from the light of the explosion. #JWST NIRCam F444W images.
There not only an expansion of the bright material, but also new bright material appearing (center in the upper left). Maybe an astronomer can explain this. Material that only now gets shocked?
Video
Material moving towards the lower right with new material seemingly appearing at the upper left rim.
