Messier 20: A Deep Look at The Trifid Nebula and Surrounds - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/2ky4FU3
This deep image shows the famous Trifid nebula in Sagittarius, also known as Messier 20 or NGC 6514: www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebula... The complex cloud displays an unusual combination of both red emission and blue reflection areas as well as numerous intricate dark patterns. The nebula is located 9000 light years away in the direction towards the galactic centre. The entire area is sprinkled with thousands of stars and fainter dusty and nebulous areas throughout. A separate prominent dark cloud appears dramatically silhouetted against the starry background to the right. A curious example of gas evaporation can bee seen near the core of the Trifid itself. Here a dense stalk, 8 light years from the centre, is emerging from the edge of the bubble surrounding the central cluster, and in the other direction a powerful stellar jet from a young star, HH 399 embedded in the gas, is shooting out in an upwards direction. The bright young stars in the central cluster emit strong radiation which eats away the surrounding gas and dust. The stalk only appears because a denser region lies at its very tip and protects a thin strip of the cloud from this interstellar erosion. The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged this fascinating area in high resolution. Also, the proper motion of the irradiated plasma in this jet has been measured and a paper has been published detailing these findings. Also, throughout the nebula lies countless young T Tauri stars just h...

The whirlpool galaxy. I took this in the North York Moors, an International Darksky reserve. The whirlpool galaxy is actually two galaxy's that are slowly entwining themselves. Oh, & they're 31 million lightyears away...

The Wolf's Cave Nebula (VdB152) is around 1,400 light years away in the constellation of Cepheus.
This is 6.25 hours of data from 2023 re-processed in HaRGB.

Into the Depths of the Trifid Nebula - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/cpST6C
This image shows the famous Trifid nebula in Sagittarius, also known as Messier 20 or NGC 6514. This particular nebula is a classic favourite among both visual and photographic observers due to its bright and colourful appearance. The complex cloud displays an unusual combination of both red emission and blue reflection areas as well as numerous intricate dark patterns. The nebula is located 9000 light years away in the direction of the Milky Way centre. The entire area is sprinkled with thousands of stars and fainter dusty and nebulous areas throughout. Another dark cloud shows up silhouetted against the starry background to the left of the Trifid. Near the top of the Trifid itself a curious example of gas evaporation can be seen. A dense stalk, 8 light years from the central cluster, is emerging from the edge of the bubble surrounding the central cluster, and in the other direction a powerful stellar jet from a young star, HH 399 embedded in the gas, is shooting out in a direction towards the bottom right. The bright young stars in the central cluster emit strong radiation which eats away the surrounding gas and dust. The stalk only appears because a denser region lies at its very tip and protects a thin strip of the cloud from this interstellar erosion. The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged this fascinating area in high resolution. Also, the proper motion of the irradiated plasma in this jet has been measured and an interesting paper has been published detailing these ...

Hubble Sees a Young Star Take Center Stage - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/rssNC7
With its helical appearance resembling a snail’s shell, this reflection nebula seems to spiral out from a luminous central star in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The star in the center, known as V1331 Cyg and located in the dark cloud LDN 981 — or, more commonly, Lynds 981 — had previously been defined as a T Tauri star. A T Tauri is a young star — or Young Stellar Object — that is starting to contract to become a main sequence star similar to the sun. What makes V1331Cyg special is the fact that we look almost exactly at one of its poles. Usually, the view of a young star is obscured by the dust from the circumstellar disc and the envelope that surround it. However, with V1331Cyg we are actually looking in the exact direction of a jet driven by the star that is clearing the dust and giving us this magnificent view. This view provides an almost undisturbed view of the star and its immediate surroundings allowing astronomers to study it in greater detail and look for features that might suggest the formation of a very low-mass object in the outer circumstellar disk.

NASA's Hubble Celebrates 21st Anniversary with "Rose" of Galaxies - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/9Acdiq
NASA image release April 20, 2011 To see a video of this image go here: www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/5637796622 To celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's deployment into space, astronomers at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., pointed Hubble's eye at an especially photogenic pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 273. The larger of the spiral galaxies, known as UGC 1810, has a disk that is distorted into a rose-like shape by the gravitational tidal pull of the companion galaxy below it, known as UGC 1813. This image is a composite of Hubble Wide Field Camera 3 data taken on December 17, 2010, with three separate filters that allow a broad range of wavelengths covering the ultraviolet, blue, and red portions of the spectrum. Hubble was launched April 24, 1990, aboard Discovery's STS-31 mission. Hubble discoveries revolutionized nearly all areas of current astronomical research from planetary science to cosmology.

Magnetic Journey - From Jason Major (jpmajor.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/8dAfW1
A lineup of erupting magnetic activity on the sun's surface creates a trail of flares and coronal loops over 600,000 miles long. This is a portion of an image acquired today, June 26, 2010 by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) 171, a sensor attuned to extreme ultraviolet radiation. I rotated the image about 80º clockwise and cropped it as shown, and adjusted the image levels and sharpness to enhance details. Read more about the SDO mission at sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/.

At the center of the frame is Cha 1107-7626 (not visible here), a rogue planet that is "devouring" gas and dust from its surroundings at a record rate of 6 billion tonnes per second.

This visible-light image, part of the Digitized Sky Survey 2, shows the position in the sky of the rogue planet Cha 1107-7626. The planet (not visible here) is located exactly at the centre of the frame. It is located in the Chamaeleon constellation, within the Milky Way galaxy.
