¿Puede una antigua masía catalana convertirse en escenario de fenómenos imposibles de explicar? En este nuevo episodio de Nébula viajamos hasta Valldoreix, en Sant Cugat del Vallès, a los pies de Collserola, para adentrarnos en uno de los lugares más inquietantes y comentados por investigadores, curiosos y amantes del misterio: Can Monmany. Detrás de su imponente arquitectura y de sus más de cuatro siglos de historia se esconden relatos de presencias extrañas, apariciones, sensaciones inexplicables, sombras observadas por testigos y experiencias que han alimentado durante años la leyenda de una posible casa encantada en pleno corazón de Cataluña. Pero antes de hablar de fantasmas, debemos conocer la historia. Documentada desde el siglo XVII como el antiguo Mas Brunet, la finca pasó a manos de la familia Monmany en 1640 y llegó a convertirse en una de las explotaciones agrícolas más importantes de la zona. Durante generaciones fue centro de actividad económica, agrícola y social de Valldoreix, transformándose posteriormente en una gran residencia señorial rodeada de edificios auxiliares, viñedos y bosques. Con el paso del tiempo, guerras, cambios de propietarios, largos periodos de abandono y el deterioro de algunas de sus construcciones contribuyeron a crear una atmósfera única. Un entorno donde la historia y la sugestión parecen caminar de la mano. ¿Qué ocurre realmente entre los muros de Can Monmany? ¿Existen explicaciones racionales para todos los testimonios? ¿Estamos ante simples leyendas urbanas o frente a uno de los enclaves paranormales más fascinantes de Cataluña? Esta noche analizaremos documentos históricos, testimonios, experiencias de testigos e investigaciones realizadas en el lugar para intentar separar la realidad de la leyenda. Apagad las luces. Poneos los auriculares. Y acompañadnos en esta nueva investigación de Nébula. Porque algunas historias no permanecen enterradas. Y algunas casas... parecen negarse a guardar silencio. ¿Quieres anunciarte en este podcast? Hazlo con advoices.com/podcast/ivoox/248

Owen Cotter is a radio host and on-camera presenter. He has appeared on major media such as ESPN, VH1, SiriusXM, Real Scene TV, and William Shatner's My Outer Space TV. He is also the owner of SciFiction.com, the Hugo- and Nebula-award-winning SciFi literary project formerly owned by the SyFy Channel. ScyFiction.com showcases geek-chic news, reviews, interviews, events, and articles, and publishes the works of relevant artists and authors, becoming the go-to place for up-to-date news for the SciFi and Fantasy community.

In this special episode, HexAI producer Brent Phillips steps behind the microphone to speak with Sean McGunigal, Epic Software's Software Development Lead for AI Research and Development. Drawing from his own daily experience navigating healthcare information management systems at a hospital, Brent guides a technical conversation on the immense role that enterprise software architectures like Epic play in orchestrating, optimizing, and embedding artificial intelligence directly into clinical workflows across global health systems.Bridging the gap between frontier software engineering and clinical realities, Sean and Brent discuss Epic's AI development pipeline while anchoring the conversation around Epic's technical vision where utility, explainability, and trust are paramount. Sean details how Epic's proprietary ambient AI framework, Chart with Art, seamlessly ingests and parses acoustic conversational data to generate structured documentation, effectively alleviating cognitive burden and clinical friction so medical professionals can prioritize hands-on patient care. Sean emphasizes that to achieve user adoption, Epic's generative summaries are rigidly tied to programmatic data lineage and granular citations, forcing black-box models to prove their clinical outputs.Aligning with the mission of the University of Pittsburgh's Health and Explainable AI Research Laboratory and Pitt's Computational Pathology and AI Center of Excellence (CPACE), the episode highlights Epic's commitment to helping advance and democratize ethical and responsible AI engineering through open-source frameworks and massive data initiatives. Sean points to Nebula, Epic's cloud-native platform deployed in Microsoft Azure, which provides a high-throughput, horizontally scalable infrastructure allowing health networks to securely deploy LLMs. Furthermore, he underscores Epic's breakthroughs with Cosmos, their multi-institution de-identified dataset, and Curiosity, Epic's custom-trained Medical Language Model designed to predict patient clinical events using autoregressive, next-token intelligence. By exploring the orchestration of complex agentic AI workflows, runtime evaluation harnesses, and cross-platform communication protocols, Sean closes the episode with a call to action for researchers to get involved and work more closely around safely advancing the frontiers of computational medicine.

People and animals have lived together in lots of ways for thousands upon thousands of years -- and humans, as we know, will attempt to pack-bond with anything. But what does the domestication of animals mean in worlds that might have fantastical creatures or critters who can talk? Guest John Wiswell joins us to discuss the friend-shaped beings that inhabit our fantasy worlds. When did your culture domesticate animals, and which ones, and why? What distinguishes a merely domesticated animal from a true companion? Which creatures might be normal pets, and which ones are more off-beat or even taboo? What does it mean if you can tame a dragon, or if your kitty familiar can talk to you? And then, of course, writers also need to consider what role these animals play in the story: Do they serve a narrative purpose? Or are they just there to fill out the world and acknowledge that, yes, humans generally love animals and want them around? [Transcript for Episode 185 TK] Our Guest: John Wiswell is a Nebula-winning and Locus-winning author who lives in the middle of the woods. His debut novel, SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN, was released from DAW Books in the U.S. and Arcadia Books in the U.K. in April 2024. John's work has appeared in Uncanny Magazine, Tor.com, LeVar Burton Reads, Nature Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Weird Tales, the No Sleep podcast, Nightmare Magazine, Cast of Wonders, Podcastle, Escape Pod, Pseudopod, and other fine venues. He has been a finalist for the Hugo, World Fantasy, and British Fantasy Awards. His fiction has been translated into ten languages. He graduated Bennington College in 2005, and attended the Viable Paradise 17 workshop in 2013. He has multiple disabilities including a neuromuscular syndrome, and thinks healthy people's capacity to complain is very funny. He finds a lot of things very funny and would like to keep it that way. He is frequently available for interview and for talks at conferences. He has done panels at places such as Worldcon, the Nebula Awards Conference, and the World Fantasy Convention.

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome back Michael Damian Thomas, to talk about Uncanny Magazine Year 13: The Space Unicorn Believes in YOU! About Uncanny Magazine Year 13: The Space Unicorn Believes in YOU!: We have something special planned this year, Space Unicorns. Along with it being Year 13, this year will feature our DIAMOND Issue 75! In celebration of this milestone, all of the solicited fiction contributors and two of the solicited essayists for Issue 75 have previously won an award for their Uncanny story or essay. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!? Welcome back, Space Unicorns! Editor-in-Chief/Publisher Michael Damian Thomas and Team Uncanny Magazine have run successful Kickstarters for the eight-time Hugo Award-winning, World Fantasy Award-winning, and Locus Award-winning Uncanny Magazine Years One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Eleven, and Twelve. We promised to bring you stunning cover art, passionate science fiction and fantasy fiction and poetry, gorgeous prose, and provocative essays by writers from every conceivable background–not to mention a fantastic award-winning podcast featuring exclusive content. Through the hard work of our exceptional staff and contributors, Uncanny Magazine delivered on that promise every single year. Stories from Uncanny Magazine have been finalists for or winners of Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Sturgeon, Ignyte, and World Fantasy Awards! The Space Unicorn Ranger Corps, our name for the Uncanny Magazine community, made it possible for our remarkable staff and contributors to create this wonderful art for all of our readers via the web or as eBooks. THANK YOU, SPACE UNICORNS FOR YOUR SUPPORT! If you've been looking for an opportunity to join or re-up with the Space Unicorn Ranger Corps, now's your chance! We need your help to continue this mission for another year. This is your magazine, Space Unicorns! Let's make Year 13 happen! Though Uncanny continues to have multiple ways to support us, we still need the help of the Space Unicorn Kickstarter community to keep bringing you this amazing content. Unfortunately, there is a less-than-celebratory side to this Kickstarter. Recently, a very large online eBook retailor changed its terms again, and we lost all of our subscription earnings. YOUR support, specifically, makes it possible for us to make our magazine freely available on our website and to pay our contributors and staff. We need your help more than ever, Space Unicorns!

En este capítulo nos sentamos a conversar, sin guion y entre amigos, con Alfonso Trinidad, en el incomparable ambiente del Congreso OVNI de Oviedo. A lo largo de la charla, nos adentramos en el inquietante y enigmático caso Jomel, analizando sus claves, sus zonas oscuras y las preguntas que aún siguen sin respuesta. Alfonso aporta su visión, experiencia y conocimiento, enriqueciendo un diálogo que fluye de manera natural, como tantas conversaciones que nacen cuando la pasión por el misterio es compartida. Pero no solo hablamos de un caso concreto. El fenómeno OVNI en su conjunto también ocupa un lugar central, abordándolo desde distintas perspectivas: la investigación, la experiencia personal y el contexto actual, donde el interés por estos temas vive un nuevo impulso. Todo ello enmarcado en la energía única del congreso, rodeados de investigadores, divulgadores y asistentes que convierten este tipo de encuentros en algo más que un evento: una auténtica comunidad. Una charla cercana, profunda y llena de matices, donde el misterio no se explica… se comparte. Mail: nebulaelpodcast2024@gmail.com Whatsapp: (+34) 613.30.86.97. ¿Quieres anunciarte en este podcast?

You can find Alix E. Harrow at www.alixeharrow.wixsite.com or on IG at @alix.e.harrow   Carrie and I are still reading and resting on our summer hiatus but we are continuing our summer replay series of award winners!   This week we are going way back in the archives to the fall of 2019, the first season of our podcast.  We took a roadtrip from Louisville to Berea, KY to meet up with Alix E. Harrow, a Hugo and British Fantasy award winner and a finalist for the Nebula, Locus, and Goodreads Choice Awards.  And she is a New York Times best-selling author.  At the time of our interview, her debut novel The Ten Thousand Doors of January had been released and one of her short stories had just won the Hugo.  Currently her most recent novel The Everlasting is a finalist for the Hugo Award for Best Novel. The Hugo is science fiction and fantasy's most prestigious annual award.   Because this interview was recorded in a library with tall ceilings, not in a studio, and because we were definitely newbies at podcasting with a different format, this episode will sound a lot different than those today. But we hope you'll enjoy hearing Alix talk about her influences and her view of sci-fi fantasy early on in her writing career.   We will be back July 22 with an all new episode.  Happy Reading!

Bestselling fantasy authors Holly Black and Samantha Shannon on building believable magic systems, researching and constructing immersive worlds, and why the right book often only emerges once you've written the wrong one.   You'll learn Why the most convincing magic on the page often starts with something you once half-believed was real. How writing the wrong version of a book can be the only route to the right one. What the texture of a world quietly promises a reader before the plot even begins. Why putting a character through the worst is often the best thing you can do for a story. When the certainty that your draft is a disaster is just a normal part of the process. What early hype can do to a writer, and why other writers are the antidote. Where to draw the line between research that serves the book and a rabbit hole that doesn't. A method for plotting a long series when you know the destination but not the route. What happens when a character starts refusing what you try to make it do.

A talking raccoon and a sentient tree?! When Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hit theatres in 2014, it faced doubts from all angles, from Kree and Xandarians alike. However, James Gunn's injection of humour, colour and the right amount of irreverence quickly made the film an instant fan-favourite. 12 years later, it's made it to Number 7 on our MCU 12 list. Some are saying that's really the most important part of its legacy.

¿Qué ocurre cuando uno de los regímenes más oscuros de la historia decide buscar algo que, según la ciencia… no debería existir? En este episodio de Nébula, nos adentramos en uno de los misterios más inquietantes del siglo XX: la supuesta conexión entre los nazis, las sociedades ocultistas y Agartha, el legendario mundo subterráneo. Exploramos las creencias esotéricas que rodeaban a las SS, el papel de figuras como Karl Maria Wiligut y la obsesión de Heinrich Himmler por encontrar los orígenes de una civilización aria perdida. Desde expediciones reales al Tíbet hasta documentos desaparecidos y teorías sobre la Tierra Hueca, este episodio te llevará a cuestionar los límites entre historia, mito y conspiración. ¿Fue solo propaganda? ¿O realmente creían que bajo nuestros pies existe un reino oculto?

This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome Sam J. Miller, author of Red Star Hustle. About Red Star Hustle: Aran, a happy-go-lucky high-class escort, is on the run after he's framed for the assassination of his famous filmmaker client. The last thing he needs is to fall for the studly and noble clone of a murderous puppet monarch while he's trying to stay one step ahead of an ace bounty hunter, who is trying to keep a fatal secret from her toxic boss/mom, which means she can't stop to worry about a little thing like whether her target might actually be innocent. Set within a universe of epic mech battles, and billions of human-made wormholes that make traveling to a distant star as easy as walking through a door or scheduling car service. About Sam J. Miller: Sam J. Miller‘s books have been called “must reads” and “bests of the year” by USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, NPR, and O: The Oprah Magazine, among others, and have been translated into nine languages.

AGARTHA: el reino oculto que los nazis intentaron encontrar ¿Qué ocurre cuando uno de los regímenes más oscuros de la historia decide buscar algo que, según la ciencia… no debería existir?

Exploramos las creencias esotéricas que rodeaban a las SS, el papel de figuras como Karl Maria Wiligut y la obsesión de Heinrich Himmler por encontrar los orígenes de una civilización aria perdida. Desde expediciones reales al Tíbet hasta documentos desaparecidos y teorías sobre la Tierra Hueca, este episodio te llevará a cuestionar los límites entre historia, mito y conspiración. ¿Fue solo propaganda? ¿O realmente creían que bajo nuestros pies existe un reino oculto?

It's Marvel Monday and the Avengers face their ultimate challenge! ABOUT AVENGERS: ENDGAME After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War (2018), the universe is in ruins. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers assemble once more in order to reverse Thanos' actions and restore balance to the universe. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME 2019 | Theatrical Release CAST & CREW OF AVENGERS: ENDGAME Directors: Anthony Russo, Joe Russo Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely, Stan Lee Cast: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk Chris Hemsworth as Thor Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow Jeremy Renner as Clint Barton/Hawkeye Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine Paul Rudd as Scott Lang/Ant-Man Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa/Black Panther Brie Larson as Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Karen Gillan as Nebula Zoe Saldaña as Gamora Evangeline Lilly as Hope Van Dyne/The Wasp Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off by showing us what Hawkeye was doing during Infinity War: teaching his daughter to shoot bow and arrows. Suddenly, his wife and kids turn to dust and he has no idea why. 23 days later, Tony Stark & Nebula are stuck in space together. She's helping him heal. They're about to run out of oxygen when Captain Marvel shows up to save them. She brings them back to Earth where they're reunited with Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Rhodey & Rocket. The happy reunion doesn't last long. Tony does one of his famous freak outs, saying things he will most certainly regret. Captain Marvel gets the rundown & decides she's going to go kill Thanos herself. Everyone is like this witch shows up out of nowhere and now wants to be the hero, but Thor likes her and says we should go. So they track Thanos down. He's like oh hi. I destroyed the stones. My bad. So Thor cuts his head off. Fast forward 5 years and Scott randomly pops out of the quantum realm machine, very confused. So he goes to talk to the Avengers about his experience. He tells Cap & Natasha about how for him, the 5 years was only 5 minutes. Maybe there's some way to use the quantum realm to go back in time and stop Thanos. Only one guy is smart enough to help - Tony. But now Tony has a daughter & he's not interested in helping. But Tony can't forget about it. He pokes around and figures out how it could work. Scott, Cap, and Natasha turn to the next smartest guy they know - Bruce. He agrees to help and they do some experiments but nothing overly helpful. Tony shows up with a time traveling device and says it's time to get the band back together. They do some testing and find out they can go to the past and bring something back without changing anything. So they have a plan - team up and go get the stones and bring them to the present which would prevent Thanos from being able to do his thing. Banner, Lang, Rogers, and Stark travel back to New York during Loki's 2012 invasion. At the Sanctum Sanctorum, Banner persuades the Ancient One to hand over the Time Stone by promising that all of the Infinity Stones will eventually be returned to their rightful places in time. Plus, Doctor Strange gave it up willingly in his time which is good enough for the Ancient One. Meanwhile, at Stark Tower, Rogers successfully recovers the Mind Stone from Hydra agents posing as S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives. However, Stark and Lang's plan to steal the Space Stone goes wrong, allowing Loki to escape with it. To recover from the setback, Rogers and Stark travel further back to 1970, where Stark obtains an earlier version of the Space Stone and unexpectedly gets the chance to speak with his father. Rogers steals additional Pym Particles needed for their return trip and catches a glimpse of his lost love, Peggy Carter. Meanwhile, Thor and Rocket journey to Asgard in 2013. Rocket extracts the Reality Stone from Jane Foster, while Thor reunites with his mother, Frigga, who snaps him out of his funk and gets his swag and his hammer back. In 2014, Nebula and Rhodey travel to Morag and secure the Power Stone before Peter Quill can retrieve it. Hawkeye and Black Widow head to Vormir, where Red Skull explains that the Soul Stone can only be obtained through the sacrifice of someone you love. Romanoff gives her life so Barton can claim the Stone. As Rhodes and Nebula prepare to return to the present, Nebula's cybernetic implants connect with those of her past self. This allows the 2014 version of Thanos to learn about his future defeat and the Avengers' plan to reverse it. Thanos captures Nebula and sends her 2014 counterpart into the future to infiltrate the Avengers and pave the way for his arrival. So they all return back in the present with the stones, sans Natasha. They put the stones on an iron glove and Bruce agrees that he's probably the best dude for the job. He snaps and immediately collapses. Hawkeye immediately gets a phone call from his wife. It worked!!! But the happiness doesn't last long because 2014 Gamora used the Time Machine to get 2014 Thanos to show up and shoot the Avengers compound up big time. He's like thanks for getting all of the stones together for me. It's giant fight time, folks. And it's not looking great for the Avengers despite the fact that Thor's hammer saw Cap as worthy enough to use it. But just when it's looking bleak, Doctor Strange returns by opening portals for the rest of the Avengers to show up and join the battle. Avengers assemble and IT'S AWESOME! It's a tough battle and Scott is busy getting his van Time Machine up and running since Thanos destroyed the other one so that they can return the stones. Captain Marvel shows up last minute and it's looking like they might do it but Thanos makes the van explode. Thanos gets the gauntlet back but Captain Marvel stops him from snapping his fingers. He's able to free himself. It's looking like a lost cause but Tony looks over at Strange who holds up 1 finger, showing Tony that this is the 1 in 14 million chances they win. Tony is able to get the stones and snap his fingers and make Thanos and his baddies disappear. But unfortunately the blast was too much for Tony and he dies. At Tony's funeral, all the Avengers show up to show their respects. They create a new Time Machine and Captain America goes to return all of the stones to their proper time. But he doesn't return to present day. Well, he does but he's old. He decided to stay in 1970 and grow old with Peggy Carter. Steve gives Sam his shield. We have a new Captain America now.

In this episode Mark interviews Premee Mohamed, a Nebula, World Fantasy, Ignyte, Locus, and Aurora award-winning Indo-Caribbean scientist and speculative fiction author based in Edmonton, Alberta. Prior to the interview, Mark shares comments from recent episodes, a personal update, and a word from this episode's sponsor.

In this weekly show, Suzy brings you writing techniques, best practices, motivation, inspirational stories from real live authors out there making it in the world, and actionable advice that can help you turn that book you're writing into the bestseller you know deep down that it can be. In their interview, Mark and Premee talk about: How Premee introduces herself as a writer in different contexts The snobbery that can exist in the CanLit spaces in relation to sci-fi/fantasy/horror The generous umbrella of the term "speculative fiction" Being drawn to write in the speculative genres because that's what she liked to read The first completely partially illustrated story Premee remembers finishing when she was eight years old The Stephen King anthology (authorized stories set in the world of The Stand) was the most Premee had been offered for a short story ever The agent Premee found for selling her first book and having worked with them for almost nine years The common response of a multi- or cross-genre book confusing publishers who liked it because they didn't know "where to put it" on the shelves How the awards Premee has won so far haven't really moved the needle at all in terms of increasing book sales Premee's forthcoming books that are coming from the big five publishers Loving the writing anyway, and how Premme would write even if she wasn't publishing Premee's experience as a Writer in Residence at the Edmonton Public Library Advice Premee would offer to writers looking for a publisher to sell their writing to How she used to be a pantser but is now a completely converted outliner How Premee's only self-publishing experience being a painful experience because it was work she did not enjoy, but how it led to her selling enough units of the ebook that it helped cover a trip to Dublin for a World Con The powerful impact of Canada's PLR program for writers And more...

We are breaking down the entire short-list and ranking, review, and digging into the 2026 Nebula Novel nominees from worst to best. We dive deep into the writing styles, the structure, the highs, the frustratingly bad endings, and reveal exactly who took home the final trophy. Are these books actually masterclasses in modern sci-fi and fantasy, or did the hype train leave the tracks?  Here is our definitive 2026 Nebula breakdown:  7. Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor  You should read it if: You love deep-dives into African culture, Ibo and Yoruba roots, and tech concepts like futuristic exoskeleton legs. You shouldn't read it if: You require a persistent central conflict, cohesive subplots, or a "story-within-a-story" that actually goes somewhere. 6. Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell You should read it if: You want a cozy Hercules retelling where Hera calls Zeus a "dipshit" and Heracles tries to befriend mythological monsters instead of fighting them. You shouldn't read it if: You get annoyed by overly preachy or cloying endings, repetitive quest structures, or confusing second-person POV shifts. 5. Katabasis by R. F. Kuang  You should read it if: You are obsessed with dark academia themes, the dangers of academic flow states, and complex, highly allusional world-building. You shouldn't read it if: You need to deeply connect with your protagonists or get easily annoyed by writing that feels a little too self involved. 4. When We Were Real by Daryl Gregory You should read it if: You love quick, humorous POV switches, AGI, simulation theory, and brain emulation concepts. You shouldn't read it if: You are looking for a groundbreaking, deeply unique masterpiece—this one is cute, but a bit unspecial. 3. Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou You should read it if: You like heavy foreshadowing, experimental voice-switching (shifting to 2nd person), and intense meta-narratives. You shouldn't read it if: You hate a massive buildup that doesn't actually come together or stick the landing at the end. 1. (TIED) The Incandescent by Emily Tesh You should read it if: You want adult-oriented cozy fantasy in a magic boarding school featuring a workaholic, middle-aged bisexual teacher and casual, biscuit-eating printer demons. You shouldn't read it if: A rushed, abrupt ending with a thin villain motivation is going to completely sour your overall enjoyment of a great setup. 1. (TIED & WINNER) The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones You should read it if: You want a beautifully written, highly literary Native American Blackfoot vampire revenge story set in the brutal landscape of the American West. You shouldn't read it if: You get bored by a monotonous middle section where the central premise loses steam and repeats itself. No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

Like a cosmic butterfly, a cluster of young stars is just emerging from its cocoon – a cloud of gas and dust. The cocoon `spans about 45 light-years. But some of the beautiful butterfly is already in view. Parts of the gas cloud are lit up by the brightest of the infant stars taking shape there. That creates a glowing patch of red and blue. The whole complex is known as the Cocoon Nebula. It’s about 4,000 light-years away, in Cygnus. Hundreds of stars are being born inside it. The most impressive of those stars is about 14 times as massive as the Sun, and tens of thousands of times brighter. It’s especially bright in the ultraviolet – wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye. The U-V zaps atoms of hydrogen in the nebula, splitting them apart. When the atoms re-combine, they emit red light – the main color of the nebula. The hot star also illuminates dust grains in the nebula. It doesn’t set them aglow; instead, the light simply reflects off the grains. That colors the blue parts of the nebula. Less-massive stars – stars like the Sun or even smaller – are still coming together. They won’t shine as fully formed stars for millions of years. The Cocoon Nebula is low in the northeast at nightfall. It’s to the lower left of the bright star Deneb, which marks the tail of the swan. The nebula is too faint to see with the eye alone. Script by Damond Benningfield

Bad boy Thanos gets an infinity stone, the Power Stone. His play is to get all six Infinity Stones and wipe out half of all life in the universe.  His first stop is the ship carrying the surviving people of Asgard. Thanos easily overwhelms the remaining Asgardians, beats up Hulk, and steals the Space Stone from Loki's Tesseract. He then kills Loki. Thanos then destroys the ship and continues his hunt. Edris Elba helps make sure that Hulk returns to earth, where he crashes through the New York Sanctum. Back as Bruce, He warns Doctor Stephen Strange and Wong that Thanos is coming.  Tony Stark joins the conversation. Before he can call Steve Rogers to get the band back together, they attack the city to claim the Time Stone from Strange. Spider-Man is pulled into the chaos, and after they captures Strange aboard his spaceship, Stark and Peter Parker secretly hitch a ride into space to rescue him while Wong remains behind to defend the Sanctum. Meanwhile, the Guardians of the Galaxy answer a distress signal and save Thor floating in space. They agree they need to work together to stop Thanos. But they're too late. Thanos already possesses the Reality Stone and uses its power to manipulate everything around them. He captures Gamora after learning she knows the location of the Soul Stone. Desperate to save her adopted sister Nebula from torture, Gamora tells him where the stone is .  When they get there, the keeper of the Soul Stone, one Red Skull, reveals the price required to obtain it: the sacrifice of someone truly loved. In one of the film's most tragic moments, Thanos throws Gamora to her death, earning the Soul Stone. Vision and Wanda are ambushed in Scotland by Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive, who attempt to rip the Mind Stone from Vision's forehead. Captain America, Black Widow, and Falcon arrive just in time to save them, bringing the wounded Vision back to the Avengers Compound. Vision urges Wanda to destroy the Mind Stone and kill him if necessary to stop Thanos, but she cannot bring herself to do it. Instead, the team heads to Wakanda, believing Shuri may be able to safely remove the stone without sacrificing Vision's life. Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Doctor Strange end up on Titan and come face to face with Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis and they realize they're in the same team.  Using the Time Stone, Strange studies millions of possible futures and discovers only one path where they succeed. Together they execute an elaborate plan to restrain Thanos and remove the Infinity Gauntlet. For a moment, it almost works—until Nebula reveals that Gamora is dead. Overcome with grief and rage, Star-Lord attacks Thanos, ruining the team's hold on him. Thanos breaks free, defeats everyone, and nearly kills Iron Man. To save Tony's life, Doctor Strange willingly surrenders the Time Stone, despite knowing how dangerous it is. In Wakanda, the Avengers prepare for an all-out invasion from Thanos's army. Bruce Banner, unable to transform into Hulk, enters battle wearing the Hulkbuster armor. The tide finally turns when Thor arrives in spectacular fashion alongside Rocket and Groot, tearing through Thanos's army with his fresh new hammer/ax combo, Stormbreaker. Despite their efforts, Thanos himself eventually reaches Vision. Wanda heartbreakingly destroys the Mind Stone—and Vision with it—just before Thanos can claim it. But using the Time Stone, Thanos reverses time, restores Vision briefly to life, and violently tears the stone from his forehead, killing him again. With all six Infinity Stones finally united, the Infinity Gauntlet is complete. Thor attacks and buries Stormbreaker deep into Thanos's chest, but Thanos coldly tells him he “should have gone for the head.” He snaps his fingers and vanishes. Across the universe, half of all life immediately turns to dust. Bucky Barnes, Black Panther, Groot, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Drax, and Mantis all fade away. On Earth, Nick Fury manages to send a desperate signal from a mysterious pager moments before he too disappears. The survivors are left shattered and defeated. Tony Stark and Nebula are stranded on Titan. The remaining Avengers stand in stunned silence in Wakanda. And somewhere far away, Thanos sits alone on a quiet planet, watching the sunrise over a universe he believes he has finally “saved.” Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?
