A cool animation I did from two photographs I took of a sunspot with my telescope: Same sunspot - without and with h-alpha filtering.

Best app or website for a galaxy map?
New to astronomy and I'm really trying to get a sense of what's where with respect to the position of stars within our galaxy. I've tried a bunch of astronomy apps for iOS as well as a few websites but haven't been able to find a great interactive map yet. Any recommendations?

Space Junk?
I was reading about JWST and the billionaire space race recently and happened to stumble upon the problems with the increase in space launches (i was bored and decided to research). I read about the possible solutions to the specific problem of space junk being left in space such as pushing it in the planet's atmosphere to burn it up. But like burning it in the atmosphere negatively impacts the planet's atmosphere and ozone layer? What if NASA or some other space agency instead burned the unused space crafts (gathering them up ofc and being some distance away from Earth) in space? Where would the gas molecules go? Would they return to the Earth?

Happy 2022 from the @Space_Station! Started off the year with an amazing view of Antarctica while off the South American coast...the same area that Shackleton explored long ago with his crew, #Endurance. https://t.co/YYEyaBkPNm
