Here at Future-ish, we love astronomy and we love cocktails. So to prep our fans (and ourselves) for those stellar weekend cocktail conversations, we are pleased to offer a Cocktail Astronomy post on Fridays.
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory just keeps giving us more and more star candy. It recently gave us a new photo of two great friends, the Trifid and Lagooon Nebula located in the constellation Saggitarius around 4,000 to 6,000 light years from Earth. It's actually possible to see these BFFs without any aids, but binoculors or a telescope will certainly give you an even better look at these showy neighbors.
Some extras with these two: the Lagoon Nebula has an hourglass shaped nebula within it and the Trifid Nebula has become known for being a major star nursery.
Cocktail pairing: we went for two tasty drinks for this efferfescent duo, something pink and something blue so you can toast your BFF. We have Bon Appétit's Rosé-Aperol Spritz and Silver Factory's Lavendar Sky (via Bon Appétit).
