The Cone Nebula is an immense pillar of gas and dust some seven light-years tall. It\u2019s located in the constellation Monoceros 2,700 light-years from Earth, and is bathed in ultraviolet radiation from nearby stars, which it re-emits as brilliant red light. And right now, it\u2019s in my living room.<\/p>\n

Or rather, it\u2019s on my phone, in my hand, as I sit in my living room staring in wonder at the majesty of our galaxy. Anyone could look at photos of the Cone Nebula at any time, of course, but this isn\u2019t just a photo of the Cone Nebula \u2014 it\u2019s a live feed* of it taken by the smart telescope quietly doing its thing in my back yard. That smart telescope is the ZWO Seestar S30 Pro, and it\u2019s truly, breathtakingly awesome.<\/p>\n
