APOD - Camera Orion Rising

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.

2024 January 31
A snowy landscape is pictured with a big hill in the center.  Above the hill is a starfield with the stars and nebulae of the   constellation Orion appearing, with the red glow of the   nebulas in great contrast to the dark sky and bright snow.  Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Explanation: What does Orion rising look like to a camera? During this time of the year, the famous constellation is visible to the southeast just after sunset. From most Earthly locations, Orion's familiar star pattern, highlighted by the three-stars-in-a-row belt stars, rises sideways. An entire section of the night sky that includes Orion was photographed rising above Śnieżka, a mountain on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. The long duration exposure sequence brings up many faint features including the Orion and Flame Nebulas, both encompassed by the curving Barnard's Loop. The featured wide-angle camera composite also captured night sky icons including the blue Pleiades star cluster at the image top and the red Rosette Nebula to the left of Orion. Famous stars in the frame include Sirius, Betelgeuse, Rigel and Aldebaran. Orion will appear successively higher in the sky at sunset during the coming months.

In a Nutshell
How much water do you drink per day? I'll go first: Not enough. I carry my emotional support water bottle with me everywhere I go, but I don't always drink it. After a little bit of research, I learned that this could be contributing to my "midday crash," not to mention other signs of dehydration.
Today, find out how to tell if you're underhydrated, plus easy ways to consume "enough" water every day.

Are you drinking enough water?
what's got us buzzing
Are you drinking enough water?
How much water you need to drink every day depends on a bunch of factors, like your environment, diet, and activity levels. As a general goal, The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine suggests drinking 11.5 cups per day for women and 15.5 cups for men. *gulp*
Not drinking that much? How can you tell if you're dehydrated? Here are some sneaky signs to look out for:
  • You feel more tired than usual.
  • Your lips are cracked, and your skin is dry.
  • You get frequent headaches.
  • You feel lightheaded or dizzy.
  • Your blood pressure is low.
  • You have trouble concentrating.
  • You don't pee often, and it's a dark color when you do.
Speaking of pee color, peep this chart to tell how hydrated you might be!
Are you drinking enough water?
A lot of the symptoms listed above can overlap with other conditions. To play it safe, consider seeing a doctor to figure out if it's due to dehydration or another underlying cause.
If you think you need to up your water intake, try any of these tips:
  • Replace lost fluids with electrolyte drinks.
  • Consume foods that are high in fluids, like soups and fruits.
  • Drink coffee, tea, and sparkling water. (They count!)
  • Infuse water with yummy flavors, like lemon, mint, or cherry juice.
  • Use a water bottle with hourly goal markers and motivational quotes.
