Lighthouses in space!? Depends how you look at it.
Hubble and Chandra teamed up to view the Crab Nebula’s pulsar, which rotates every 33 milliseconds and emits narrow beams of light—imitating how the beam of a lighthouse looks: https://hubblesite.org/contents/media/images/2002/24/1248-Image.html?news=true #NationalLighthouseDay #Hubble #space #astronomy #Chandra #CrabNebula

🪷 7 Aug is #NationalLighthouseDay: In August we remember the arrival of #Antinous in Alexandria in 130 AD. He saw the Lighthouse, heard tales of mortals who die in the Nile being deified. Soon Antinous would drown. He would become a God. https://antinousstars.blogspot.com/2021/08/antinous-entered-alexandria-with.html #LighthouseDay 🪷
