'Moon Clouds', a term in repeated use in the following, refers to drifts hanging over bright stars not unlike wisps of cloud hanging over a harvest moon, ergo Moon Clouds.

I cannot find a name for the bright star at left. It is the light turqoise colored star in the colored image next below at left.

The odd broken colored patch midscreen is in fact a real artifact of abrupt media density boundries (which seem almost an image flaw) and contains very interesting new discoveries including a gas volcano, whose descriptions begin here.


The region of space around Antares is huge in terms of objects and object distances from each other. Next image below full screen contains a globular cluster (officially described as a faint cluster) North/east of Antares, and another large easily globular cluster to the East.

According to comments for Antares at APOD, the larger globular cluster (named M4) lies further back in space, and according to a stereo vision below, the small cluster (named Ngc 6144) definately lies further back as well, meaning that neither cluster in the Antares local Moon Cloud star forming region, which obviously makes sense since globular cluster cross sectional areas are greater than are star field widths.



If I am reading 'Antares' captions at APOD correctly, the cluster on the right is M4. I cannot find reference as to what the smaller cluster higher up is called - that is not correct, a very obscure reference just turned up at a Seds Antares page names it Ngc 6144.

Now that we have the two globular clusters out of the way we can concentrate on the Antares Moon Cloud star field itself.

A significant difference between the Antares local star field region (Moon Cloud star field) and for instance the much larger Orion is scale and magnetude. Orion is particularly known as home to intense gigantic hot new stars some (it is said) living within 100,000 years whereas no such mighty new stars are seen near our Sun nor any proliferation of hot new blue new stars, which means our local star field is quit a quiet area comparatively speaking.

Pleiades polarized gasses and mottling in the Pleiades.htm page.

On the other hand, active star births is suspected, though not declared, in the Antares region.

If pulling back and looking our way from out at Orion it is likely the Antares star field would appear to have mostly slight dust drifts in polarization zones and bands delivered from nearby stars effecting each other, even, it seems, at some long distances away, not like the Pleiades where stars are almost bunking in the same bed.

(Which raises a question - why is there not a freeze frame movie of the Pleiades, after all this time, earlier photos through the decades to present can present a very definate description of how stars are moving around each other in the Pleiades, and how fast - the bolo balls of bongo bongo could present quite a juggling act if seen in movie motion).

The star above Antares is covered in diaphonous Moon cloud. The next image has been highly enhanced in green to show off the filamentation bands. Click for a more sedate version of the image in grey tones.



There is no questions that Moon bands drifting across the lower region of the upper star are polarized in focus at right angles to Antares, and some of the flying wings at Antares are focused at right angles straight to the upper small unnamed star with Moon Clouds drifting over it at right angles facing Antares.

The question of specific right angle polarizations in the diaphonous moon cloud drifts is every significant. 'Polarization' was first noticed in looking closely at Pleiades stars looking for some rhyme or reason to the direction of the laces and drifts, and a reason was realized, now called 'polarization' for lack of a better term to identify the phenomena.

Rho Ophiuchi is also nearby, but somewhat further away, to the North/east of Antares at about a 20 degree angle. Rho Ophiuchi is one of the stars in the star clump at the top of the next picture, the eerie piece in midpicture is the broken frame area shown in blue above.





The patchy texture of this above image is indeed patchy, Dss plates tend to vary between freezing and boiling depending entirely on how much bright objective is in the plate, for instance Antares, bright, has a very dim North/east globular cluster nearby and dim dim (nearly freezing) nearby space, but the plate of the North/east globular cluster itself, being dim, has nearly boiling surrounding space.

Trying to mix and match these variations by enhancers and eyesight was an ordeal, not to mention limitations to amateurs like myself working at home on a slab of white surface on tripods for a worktable upon which sits a Windows 98 computer. If Dss was able to disk giant plates, for instance (say) 300x300) arcminutes in one plate, how easy it would be to see deep space and objects there at leisure.

Size was of utmost concern, the Dss original plates simply too large to work within the confines of my ordinary Windows 98 PC and Paint Shop Pro graphic editor ver 4. Even reducing each Dss plate to 1/3 size, you could hear grunts from machinery coping with heated electrons as the enhancers did their processes and cutting and pasting. I know I sure grunted a lot, my right arm ended almost temporarily parallyzed in trying to work the laser mouse in accute control expertise from one tiny star matchup to another barely a finger twitch away, in patching together Dss pieces to make composites good enough to be shown.

WEST of ANTARES

It would seem that Rho Ophiuchi is getting its cross polarization from another source, vectored somewhere at a slanted right angle to the left and lower, and where it is, another hot area with a gas volcano, or and an active star, is not seen since the Dss region has not been explored for this project west of Antares. But meybe it is time to double check.



CLICK FOR LARGE IMAGE

A first check looked to the area west of Antares, as scaled in the above image. From here a vertical ladder of Dss plates was downloaded and checked via enhancers for any interesting content.

What was found was no significant dense object (capable of influencing the Moon cloudfields of Rho Ophiuchi), but a great deal of sundry matter is seen capable of blocking out background stars, which it does in drifts of vague opacity to the left of the small star and in the area above it, there there are broad swaths of grey toned roil with no stars, which means there is thicker sundry matter drifting around emmiting very dim visible radiations.

A histogram image version shows in greater hot/cold contrasts the bands of drift and the fact the dark dust valleys are crossing the area.

Using the GIC Antares composite as a master template, it is now possible to understand this brightly colored Antares image. For example Rho Ophiuchi is the bright blue conglomerate at top.



The oval square dark area in mid picture is not well resolved in the bright color view above. In the GIC Dss composite view next, the same area is dark and bright in roughly a square oval. Most noteworthy is the chance we may be seeing an eyestalk close up, shown next upsidedown for the sake of making it easier to recognize.

EYESTALK









Above, faint straight line image irregularites are visible down the left edge, from patching together numerous different Dss plates to make a GIC master Anteries composite, from which this above 'eyestalk' cut is taken.

GAS VOLCANO



There has not seemed to have been any incoming vast migration or density capable of hastening the formation of new stars for a long time.

It is possible however that conciderable activity might be hidden masked behind the apparent serinity of the breaches housing the local eyestalk, which in basic astronomy image density notations is hardly a cause for charm, but when enhanced, a dynamic seething nebulosity artifact is exposed, especially witnessed in the gas volcano at the right in this view.

Artifacts like this cannot occur except where strong temperature gradiants are present giving power to materials which can flow in smoke-like thermal vents.

RHO OPHIUCHI GAS VOLCANO

A gas volcano is seen issuing (or being in-sucked) in dense sundry matter clouds in the region in which sits large star Rho Ophiuci along with other stars.

Incidentally, if you like an amusing grin with a bit of pleasure now and then, see what Dss dished down for star Alpha Centauri, the original which was nothing but gray wall paint, lept to life as this extraordinary piece of modern art when the original was treated to histogram equalize.



Alpha Centauri became interesting as a nearest star, to see what Dss had to show about it, and to see if any diaphonous moon cloud drifts were around it. What instead was dished by Dss for Alpha Centauri was the above moderno modularo bizarro art.

HOW FAR AWAY IS ANTARES

How far away is Antares, about 520 light years away, according to literatures, which you have to search, found on the APOD 'search' site, for 'Antares', for example. 520 light years is about 33% of the distance to Orion (1,500) light years away.

It turns out that suspicians alluded in the above text written for GIC that Antares involves something big, are correct. Antares, with Rho Ophiuchi, are attached at the right end of a huge nebula field known as the Pipe Nebula.

Antares is the yellow star in this Pipe nebula zoom, Rho Ophiuchi is the blue star farthest above.

Let's give a gold cigar to the guy who does not lie. I entered Antares cold turky starting from a Dss image which shows Dagwood Bumstead hair flying from Antares, which matched the same hair shown in a famous yellow Antares image from that amazing photo guy Malin in Australia. Sitting watching Seinfield it occurred to me to wonder what might be lurking in and around Antares, for instance, how far do those Bumstead hair flares extend.

(Photo amazing guy from Australia Malin was a guy who used Australia, UK, and University of LA telescopes to produce photo images of astronomy amazing discoveries with little to no regard as to whether other astonomers would like the images or not, and for a brief period, prior to Hubble coming on, was world wide regarded as one of the most foreward thinking picture takers in astronomydom many of his images showed unique even unfathonable objects, and most of his images were published under contract and purchase in the world's best astronomy magazines).

Under purchase means alas, many of his best images being purchased by magazines and thus owned by the publishers, appeared only in that magazine and issue, and are not available in any public online Internet archives - such is greed, the kind contained by reedy publishers who feel that that which they own is that which they own, the public and world intelligence at large be treated to the upright finger.

At least Dss saw the light and has made available their best images available to the public at large via the Internet.

I suspect that some of the best images ever by Hubble have never been seen by the public at large, alas, that is the way that professional prestige and career works, if someone else can scoop something the originator did not realize, let the scooper be dammed, eliminate all possibilities of someone else scooping.

The number of images first shown on APOD, then later replaced by a more dreary, less significant image for that same day, cannot be counted in APOD over the years. An image released is suddenly seen to have more good jolts and career enhancing goodstuff than was declared in the original release, and so is suddenly withdrawn, in panic I often suspect. Sometimes, a bonehead mistake of boner brain magnitude is the motivating force for withdrawing an image and captions from public scrutiny, but most often the reason is career oversight. Oops.

The only reason I know of this is, I have in my archives in numero directories on numero hard drive partitians, images which appeared, then vanished from public view, only to be replaced by something commonplace, and dreary, and mediocre, on a public site such as APOD, or Stsci Hubble. Have you ever wondered why so many times, the same image and caption comes up under the same keyword terms on APOD - if you use APOD 'search' for image sources. It is becuase at one time these different sames were one time different differents, but have been withdrawn, to be replaced by same mediocre sames. Over and over again.

Now, why this brief editorial diatrabe above has appeared in the middle of descriptions of Antares, I don't know, it just came blurbling out apropos good astronomy pictures vrs magazines, and vanishing pictures from the Internet pointing to, once again, the incredible shrinking universe, which you know of for instance in buying a new box of Corn Flakes and finding the bigger new box is only 1/3 full, or, rather, 2/3 empty.

BACK TO ANTARES

Today, 19 hours later in a 28 hour time period, the above page has been gathered, researched, and compiled, (plus another six hours for initial proofing for a final draft for GIC), in which the suspician was as strong as it gets that something lay to the left beyond Rho Ophiuchi, and it turns out to be exactly that, that the Pipe nebula lays out there to the left, recognized for a fact for the first time today 19 hours after the start of the round the clock non-stop saga.

I tell you in utmost sincerity that I cannot lie or alter facts of physics in life whenever it comes to telling you something I did or found out. The fact that Antares is in a big place, is something intuited, then confirmed. I believe that intuition is the only way to go when wanting to find out something fast.

Antares is the yellow colored bit in the colored cluster at the far right of the Pipe nebula. Antares seems to be in an area of free space with nothing behind, but it is not empty space with nothing else in it. GM



My friend Grrrrrrr is back. Try and try again to find a pulled back above image showing the whole of the Pipe Nebula yields nothing but the same chopped view over and over again, everywhere, the image cuts off right in the middle at the left. Even LOOK.COM did not hold forth a better offer, except for this one view next which shows a bit more of the Pipe Nebula overall. Dss, sob, didn't even try to dish a copy, this is one name (Pipe Nebula) that is not in the Dss data banks. Grrrr.



Why do I want to see the whole thing? Obviously the Pipe nebula is a B I G G G nebula, why all astronomers everywhere would want to show it as only a small clipped portion is a mystery to me, is it because we are looking at humongous quantities of missing mass, here, and, if, ever spotted, a whole rash of careers would vanish down the drain as all this missing mass is discovered, changing the mystical particle missing mass equations forever. Hmmm.



HOW CURIOSITY INTO ANTARES BEGAN

The search was sponsored by the sudden realization that stars in the Pleiades, facing each other, were polarizing their wisps at right angles to the direction of the facing.

The study of cross-fluxing polarizations began with this image, with Merope shown below (lower right) from Dss. Obviously here are three stars all seeming to face each other, two with diaphanous strands like wide blades of snowplows ready for a faceoff in robot wars, the third with a pointed cluster of peaks called chevrons. How come.



The answer, as far as I can see, can only be, powerful none wind influences which I deem 'ionnizing mutual polarizations' for lack of any other term. It cannot be solar winds, because winds would have blown the clouds away.

The problem first began some time earlier with a guick look at a just released Hubble view of Chevrons in the Pleiades, which were said to be shaped by strong winds from Merope but as I looked and looked at the Chevrons I could not see their peaks pointing straight to Merope so decided the Chevrons had to be under influence from something else, knowing not what.



Then came the above 3-star image downloaded from Dss and it became obvious that the chevrons sticking out right from the left star are being shaped by blasts from both the other two stars, including Merope at lower right.

Enough hot and bother about Merope. Back to Antares.

It came instantly to mind to see if similar such synchronistic polarization was happening with Antares stars blasting each other with ionnizing polarizing radiations (assumed), and it turned out to be correct in part, some of the wisps in the now-called Moon Cloud matter drift fields, are being coalated by right angle blasts from nearby stars their blasts facing each other at right angles.



The gas volcano zoomed from the Antares template is a strong and active energy region indicating a more major activity here. If this area was further back away from us in deep space it would probably have been quite easily seen by earlier observers who searched for nebulas and other kinks. The fact that it is so close, right up in our face, makes it very hard to see. Staring right into a dog's eyebrows makes it hard to see you are staring at a dog. Bark.







I have shown three views including color tone stereo combinations, because I really like this image. It, as you see it above, was not even suspected by me for detail or dynamic clarity, until I took another crack at the Dss original to do a zoom simply illustrating the gas volcano.

To find that it is a rather well evolved tympani, tells me there may be a hugely significant something that causes strong impact reaction(s) hidden currently behind the scenes of this ve r r r y intriguing item.

The shell around the volcano is not unlike the hexo shaped cavity of a gold crystal, next.



The area around and including Antares the super giant star is an excellent teaching source for quick insights into natures of fluid matter in deep space since fluidics seen here extrapolate into fluidics seen in concentrated large nebulas and active star field areas, even, for that matter, fluidics in deep space within and surrounding galaxy clusters.

THE 'MOON CLOUD' POLARIZED DUST FIELDS OF ANTARES

Let us take one step back, and requalify the 'Moon Cloud' field as a dusty nebula in keeping with nebulas which typically are sources of new and even prolific new star births, however, there are areas in those hot areas are that are also cool, and the Antares local 'cloud' seems cool, rather than hot.

A CLASSIC CASE OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES

A piece of the Moon Cloud's star farming region is glimpsed at Antares by careful and tedious patching together of numerous (60x60) archminute Dss plates, piecing together a composite by matching in overlay distinct star patterns and even individual stars at each piece's edge some stars so small they could hardly be seen.



The result, a master Antares template, is well worth the effort. Objects seen in the template are not just eerily similar to but in fact more or less the same as things seen in star fields nebulas such as Orion whose outstanding feature (from the advent of Hubble telescope images of Orion) are patches and thatches of material drifts in lineal hazes and square edge abrupt re-alignments or 'polarizations' at sharp angles, even at abrupt right angles to each other, the bands of haze intermixed with strands and filaments of noticable length and thinness.

Please also be aware that dark matter, as seen in the above master template, means missing mass, where there are no stars, where, there, dark even black drifts, means the sundry low luminant matter is thick, there, and we can only guess how deep the thickness extends behind the scenes.

A piece of the Pleiades shows intermix. The mottles concentrated in brighter bands, and numerous small dots (assumed stars) with dark ring collars, go unexplained.



The peculiar mottling is in both these Dss 2nd generation (blue) originals. CLick on images for full size - large images lonnng loads.



A particularly strong concentration of mottles flows along the right edge top to bottom of the right hand image clicked above.

Here comes big risk - I can't help wondering if the mottling is an actual phenomena, planets galore wandering around, and stars with disks. The fact that some of the stars have concentrations of mottles makes me a bit suspicious of morning dew on the telescope lens or inside the camera.

Certainly the mottling seems like a flaw, but, the number of different coherent elements within the mottling are clues that we might be looking at a star field strewn, completely strewn, with hard rubble. Planets around giant stars are reasonably presented in clues seen examining an image of the Rigel halo here.

Like moons over Jupiter, these could be Jupiters over Antares.



Most intriguing are the concentrations of mottling around some of the large stars. In the whole, it seems we may be looking at uncounted teeming hordes of Jupiters and even a few Saturns.



Regards filamentations and polarizations (as seen in the above images) these are now concidered in GIC to be the result of effects of nearby active stars intensely acting on each other, the farming taking form in bands, wands, and drifts at right angles to the directions of influences.

Regards the Moon Cloud matter field abounding at Antares, there are similarities to the Cone nebula, next, which has a larger gas volcano on the right side seemingly flowing in reverse, next image. The gas volcano above is more exactly the look and feel of tympani resonators, six sided geometric formations assumed the result of sonic principles, in this case sonic principles which polarize the field structures of fluid matter.



Fluid matter polarized by sonic heat flow dynamics is not at all unheard of. An atomic bomb explosion's smoke column has two tympani's - each a different crystal faceted kind - in the smoke column's base.



Flow of a different kind, not exactly a gas volcano, transverses a dark valley in the Rho Ophiuchi intersection. If you look, you see even tiny flows issuing from portals, indicating heat source of somekind is forcing such portals to open, or, at least, unequal heat distribution is there so that heat at one level is moving through a portal past heat of another level in the area surrounding the portal, all a part of the subtle but seething thermodynamic textures of fluids in deep space.





More courageous green enhancement shows off the interweaving bands of polarized filamentation.



Dark cleft in Eagle nebula star field, abrupt straight edge crevices are nebula commonplaces.



The Cygnus Loop in the Veil nebula seems to have similiar whimsy and pale veil in its nebulosity, a remnant of a long ago super nova. It means the Moon Cloud at Antares may be a long ago remnant of a very large super nova, perhaps something on par with the current Eta Carinae which is porking out a stupendous charge of smoke and gas, although, I am inclined to think the Moon Cloud is bigger and denser than a super nova remnant because of the gas volcano at the Moon eyestalk formation, such a volcano is a very strong dynamic circumstance in celestrial entropy exchanges, and, several stars are involved in the Antares Moon cloud combination unlike more diaphanous nebula remnants which are typically unique residues of single stars gone nova.











GIC is using this opportunity to show off Cygnus enhancements with a dual purpose, to show cross angle polarization, as well as geometry formations, for instance concentrically projecting cyclonnic swirls in the tuba bell in the whispy drifts of Cygnus - a formation such as this is expected in the inner gyroscopes of neutron stars such as in the Crab nebula - and to show off local hot areas which have teeming thermodynamic princples at work, for instance the hexagram rosette at the end of a Cygnus shoe. You can't miss it, a pretty little six pedalled flower sticking out into endspace of the nebula.





Polarized straight line cross hatching, in this case the blue haze in a rudimentary geometric formation which seems to have taken its structured ordering from crystal faceting, on the optical face of Orion, by Hubble's first Orion photo and downloaded from the public Stsci Stellar Evolution page.







The sealed book is open. This artifact also in Hubble's first Orion view, a v-shaped wedge like an open book rends the surface.





A second better view of the same Orion area by Hubble still shows the open book, even though some of the finer details in fine line cross hatching polarization has been blurred out by more image overlays made to make this famed Orion view publically called the Orion Mosaic. Our cut for GIC also features enhancement of the fringe of the edge of the trapezium showing advanced body structuring going on it what seems the dim background beyond the edge.







The flare turns out to be a ghost pillar, not recognized until the image is very highly enhanced, then, have a look.







The pillar can actually be spotted in a later Hubble revision known as the Orion mosaic.







Back to Antares, and its position of celestial splendor at the end of the Pipe Nebula.

Although Antares is said to hang on the eastern edge of the Pipe nebula, the Antares region itself might not be merely touched by the diaphanous end of a long ago nova explosion. For instance in a Pipe nebula view next, Antares is in a darkened area at the eastern edge, but this dark might be dark matter sitting north from Antares rather than the end remnants of a nova pettering out.



A Pipe Nebula image from this source, shows Antares and other Moon Clouds stars in the right end of the image.



Strong enhancement of the Antares cluster (small colored area in image at left above) shows it is not a diaphanous area, instead the area holding the stars is darkly solid.

Ps., Antares color images all tend to show bright psychadelic colors a different color for each star and this is true, apparently, it is said the area glows with all of the visible colors of the spectrum, instead of strongly in only two or three major frequencies.

In the small mugshot at left above, a white dot straight to the East of Antares (large red dominant lower to the left), is globular cluster M4 which is being seen through transparent space from a distance much farther away back into deep space. In images above a second smaller globular cluster is also seen through the Antares haze mantle, so matter here is not exactly solid, however further up in the region of the eyestalk matter does appear more solid, less transparent by far.

The gist of the above paragraph is I simply do not know how to guage whether there is solid matter, as in a small star forming region partially hidden, or not, it seems up around the eyestalk and gas volcano that matter is quite fluidly in motion, which indicates the dynamics of solid rather than diaphanous matterial. If the material turns out by future inspection to be solid, add this to the list of missing mass.

The Cygnus Loop is out there, part of a much larger long trailing remnant known as the Veil nebula. Dss dishes up pretty good looking plates of it, though the veil cannot be seen except in a few faint traces until each plate is enhanced by histogram equalize.


Here are two plates joined side by side, square area at left the Cygnus Loop target at Dss.

The nebula is simply too large for me to try and track it all down by downloading numerous Dss plates to make a master collage.

Unlike material seen at Antares and its nearby stars and formations, for instance the gas volcano, material which seems more solidly dense and opaque with little showing through from the background in much of the Antares Moon Clouds area at large, the Cygnus veil is mostly all transparent, meaning there is little dark dust here at Veil,, which itself is part of a much larger round area, it is said - I could not find an image showing the whole Veil, but did not look hard for one.

Click for large Dss image of histogram plates shown above.

Incidently for you recent comers (new readers who have not surfed any great number of GIC pages), a word is needed about Dss plates and the meaningless of their arcminute sizes. See yourself taking a photograph up the street in front of your dwelling, a long branch from a nearby small tree drifts into the viewscreen as a large foreground object, and a giant tree way off beyond the end of the street is tiny.

Dss arcminutes are the same, if the object is nearby in deep space to us it will be large in a Dss (60x60) arcminute plate, which is why some stars, for instance Rigel, can dominate a whole plate, and a large galaxy such as Ngc 6782 is a tiny white spot (left image) in the middle of a giant plate, this case not peppered with overlaying Milky Way stars, rather, in this case noticable by meandering rills which seem to be visible gravity waves of gigantic propoertions.

Thus, the size of the Veil nebula cannot be known by sight comparison in Dss views since the Veil spidery filaments are nearby enough to dominate full Dss plates. Astronomers call spidery filaments such as seen in the Veil a 'diaphanous cosmic cloud'.

NEXT - SIGMA SCORPII - A MIGRATING STAR


Sigma Scorpii is a star attached to the Antares hall of fame. It is the star enveloped in red to the far right of Antares in the image at left.

I wanted to see if there was any Moon Clouds overdraft reaching Scorpii from Antares, and visa versa, but the gap between them is just too large for me to fit together enough Dss plates to present a scene of this.

I am going to make an undeducated guess (educated guess) that star Sigma Scorpii is on a migratory path dragging a mess of strew as it heads our way toward the camera on a North/west vector, its cometary head poking up, more of the undertrail seen than the upper smokies, because of its particular path of motion.



Click for large proto

The prototype is the image engineering construction before green enhancing. Images for the contruction were reduced to 1/2 the size downloaded as originals from Dss.

The green version took extra equalization ironing out different noticably mismatched patches in the way Dss dished plates from its server - the fact that a Dss plate offshifted just a few dozen arcminutes can have substantially different base media (light, vrs dark, content) has always been a puzzle to me, the only way around this Dss created difficulty is to do a saint's best trying to match patch-pieces together in as density seemless ways as possible and accept a version when good enough, even if a long way from perfect.

As the minutes compounded into daylight turning dark I finally decided good enough is good enough, the image you see above is as good as it gets without me starting a whole new regime all over again trying to do a better image from scratch. You know what telepathic smoke is like, the kind that wafts through the ethers as you get more and more pissed off, well, that is what happended to me trying to equalize these unequal plate segments from Dss.

BACK TO SCORPUS DELECTI

The smokey trail is in fact what leads me to believe Scorpii is travelling forward to the upper left. Hold your right index finger up in front of you, tilt it a few degrees to the left, and tilt it a few degrees toward you, your index finger should now (if you have done it correctly the way I did) be the head of the comet, the shortened shaft of your finger the trail of smoke being left behind into the lower right.

I wish to repeat a fact of physics - stars do not smoke. Stars are not on fire and burning oxygen like a burning coal arcing out of a campfire. Stars are nuclear. Therefore the smokey trails migratory stars can leave behind are raunchies from their nuclear furnaces on overtime, unstable in embodiments of such extreme active stars. It is the same kind of nuclear overplus that can lead to nebulas from novas, super nova explosions, and active star discharges, all smokey, but not pipe smoke, this smoke is gas dust atoms and molecules like pipe smoke but not from processes of internal combustion using oxygen the internal combustions producing star smoke use Protons and Neutrons and the nuclii of heavier elements re-internalized into other nuclii. Internal combustion smoke such as from your campfire re-organizes atoms (not nuclii) into other atoms, an entirely different entirely low energy grade process compared to the sacks of nuclear powers.
