M43: Orion Falls : Is there a waterfall in Orion? No, but some of the dust in M43 appears similar to a waterfall on Earth. M43, part of the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, is the often imaged but rarely mentioned neighbor of the more famous M42. M42, which includes many bright stars from the Trapezium cluster, lies above the featured scene. M43 is itself a star forming region and although laced with filaments of dark dust, is composed mostly of glowing hydrogen. The entire Orion field, located about 1600 light years away, is inundated with many intricate and picturesque filaments of dust. Opaque to visible light, dark dust is created in the outer atmosphere of massive cool stars and expelled by a strong outer wind of protons and electrons. via NASA

“I am a D.J., I am what I play. Can’t turn around no, can’t turn around.”
During his time living in the city, David Bowie was known to browse the vinyl bins in record stores around his neighborhood. There are dozens of indie record stores in Brooklyn, so this Record Store Day Bowie is making his rounds.
