The Running Chicken Nebula processed by Zubuyer Kaolin and observed by Peter Jenkins using our CHI-2: an ASA 500N, a 19.6 inch (50 cm) is a Newtonian telescope with field corrector, situated in the Rio Hurtado Valley, Chile.

IC 2944, also known as the Running Chicken Nebula or the λ Centauri Nebula, is an open cluster with an associated emission nebula found in the constellation Centaurus, near the star λ Centauri. It features Bok globules, which are frequently a site of active star formation. However, no evidence for star formation has been found in any of the globules in IC 2944.

The most sophisticated laser communication network ever designed has gained its second satellite. The European Data Relay System (EDRS) was built to accelerate the flow of information from Earth-observation satellites to the ground. The second satellite in the network, EDRS-C, has now passed its user commissioning review and entered into full service 👉 https://www.esa.int/Applications/Telecommunications_Integrated_Applications/Data-relay_satellite_beams_at_light_speed
