The nebula LBN 149.02-00.13, nicknamed the Shamrock Nebula by the WISE folks at NASA.
It's a place where new stars are born, as luck would have it.

Designated as LBN 149.02-00.13 (or Sh2-205 in the Sharpless catalog of nebulas), this interstellar cloud of dust and gas is a classic example of what astronomers call an HII region, because of all the ionized hydrogen, or HII, within it. Ionized gases carry an electric charge.

Saint Patrick beside the old monastery window on Saint Patrick's / Church Island Skerries which some say takes the shape of the man himself.

It's also #FollowBackFriday. I'm always happy to #FollowBack accounts that follow me.

Two images of Star Trek characters Picard and Riker, telling a joke. Picard says "My grandmother was 80 percent Irish." Next image has Picard saying, "Her name was Iris."

A clump of (probably) lesser trefoil on a grassy bank. Let’s call it shamrock, just for today.

Happy Saint Urho Day

The alleged fictional saint of Finland, created and elaborated by Finnish Americans in Northern Minnesota in the 1950s, to celebrate their heritage and extend celebrations of St. Patrick's Day. His celebration day is set to March 16, the day before the March 17 feast day of St. Patrick.

[I wonder if certain system administrators are already celebrating?]

The #ConnectedAtBirth #etymology of the week is IRISH/PIÑA COLADA #wotd #StPatricksDay #StPatricksDay2023 #Irish #PiñaColada

There’s nothing more Irish than a piña colada, right? Well, probably etymologically speaking anyway. Piña colada means “strained pineapple”, colada being related to colander, and piña referring to the pineapple. Piña and pine come from Latin pinus “pine” possibly from Proto-Indo-European *peie “to be fat, swell” in reference to the pine tree’s sap. This root also leads to Proto-Indo-European *pi-wer- “fertile”, which may then lead to Old Celtic *Iveriu, Old Irish Eriu, and ultimately Irish and Ireland. That Proto-Indo-European root, by the way, also leads to English fat, so don’t have too many piña coladas, as the other main ingredient in them, coconut cream, contains a lot of fat.
