I Can See a Pulsating Cloud 2500 Light Years Away

In this quest to see something travelling at the speed of light we stumble upon a forgotten branch of astronomy: Variable Nebula. These pulsating nebula have ripples of light flowing through them. It is my sincere wish that us amateurs club together to record these incredible space objects... and that's exactly what we're doing as part of a project called The Big Amateur Telescope.

massive fan of this channel Rory. I remember showing some videos to my friends whilst we were wild camping on Pen y Fan last summer, watching the planets rotate above us! they were blown away by your content, and they're not massive astro-geeks! the way you explain things makes it easy for non-science-y folks to understand, and the images you take are stunning. I hope you're able to come back as soon as possible, and hopefully make a business out of making videos on youtube.

[@patrickvandervalk9622]

I have been a subscriber to this channel when it was still very small. It is stellar to see how it evolved from a nice geek and his rabbit taking astro pics with low budget gear to a channel that unites amateurs from around the world in cool projects. As I suggested in 2019, Discovery channel or National Georaphic should have hired you and Riktenstein to create what could have been an innovative and evolving new series. Now they are too late, but I am sure future discoveries of the Astrobiscuit community on pulsating nebulae, gravitational waves and star formation will be featured in their programs. I hope the “buy me coffee” option is still open, so I can at least do something small to support you while you are “working” 😊
