This is my first night working on the Rosette Nebula. I hope to double or triple the exposure time over the next couple of nights, sky conditions permitting. #astronomy #astrophotography

Celestial angel Rho Ophiuchi Cloud complex from the Webb Telescope.
The James Webb Space Telescope's image of the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex provides new clarity on a brief period in the stellar lifecycle by capturing the intricate details and processes involved in star birth.

This image, taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, depicts GAL-CLUS-022058s, located in the southern hemisphere constellation of Fornax (The Furnace). GAL-CLUS-022058s is the largest and one of the most complete Einstein rings ever discovered in our Universe.

Galaxy NGC 4380 swirls with an almost magical energy, resembling a portal to a distant universe straight from a science fiction story. Yet, in the grand scheme of things, the galaxy is actually quite ordinary

my current favorite jwst images 🌌
A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright. The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view. This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner. An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.⁣

One of the most amazing James Webb Telescope images shows Star Formation in Dusty Ribbons of a star cluster NGC 346. Inspired to explore the cosmos with a telescope? Get your own telescope here 👉 amzn.to/49g9lvS #SpaceInspiration #AmazonAffiliate
The active star cluster NGC 346 is located within a nebula 200,000 light years away and is visible in this image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam). Webb shows that there are more more building blocks for planets and stars than previously thought, in the form of clouds that are dense with dust and hydrogen. Two different forms of hydrogen may be seen in the gas arcs and plumes in this photograph. The more orange gas represents dense, molecular hydrogen, which is significantly colder at around -200 °C or less (roughly -300 °F), and associated dust, whereas the pink gas represents energetic hydrogen, which is typically as hot as around 10,000 °C (nearly 18,000 °F) or higher.

Presenting the Eighth Wonder of the World: The Rainbow Nebulae, a symbol of hope and inclusivity. A celestial masterpiece formed by interstellar gases and cosmic dust, spreading vibrant hues across the universe.

Author: @venusianchron.bsky.social
A stunning cosmic landscape featuring two prominent nebulae with radiant colors—reds, oranges, yellows, and blues, contrasting against the dark expanse of space. Twinkling stars fill the background, while wispy tendrils of gas and dust form intricate, organic patterns, adding depth and texture. This artwork falls under the genre of Astronomical and Space art.

The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33) is a small dark nebula in the constellation Orion. The nebula is located just to the south of Alnitak, the easternmost star of Orion’s Belt, and is part of the much larger Orion Molecular Cloud Complex.

Leo P.
This is a star-forming dwarf galaxy, located about 5 million light years away from us (blue stars on the bottom-right side of the image).
🔭 🧪
The image from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) combines infrared light at wavelengths of 0.9 microns (represented in blue), 1.5 microns (green), and 2.77 microns (red). The stars in Leo P appear blue in comparison to the background galaxies for several reasons. Young, massive stars that are common in star-forming galaxies are predominantly blue. Leo P also is extremely lacking in elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, and the resulting “metal-poor” stars tend to be bluer than Sun-like stars. A bubble-like structure at bottom center is a region of ionized hydrogen surrounding a hot, massive O-type star.

Southern Ring Nebula captured by the James Webb Space Telescope #JamesWebb #SouthernRingNebula Inspired to explore the cosmos with a telescope? Get your own telescope here 👉 amzn.to/49g9lvS
Southern Ring Nebula: This planetary nebula, an expanding cloud of gas that surrounds a dying star, is approximately 2,000 light years away. Here, Webb’s powerful infrared eyes bring a second dying star into full view for the first time. From birth to death as a planetary nebula, Webb can explore the expelling shells of dust and gas of aging stars that may one day become a new star or planet.

The Pillars of Creation, towering columns of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, captured in stunning detail by the James Webb Space Telescope. These pillars are stellar nurseries where new stars are born, located about 6,500 light-years away.

this is a galaxy cluster whose light took 10 BILLION years to reach us.

unreal.
Hundreds of galaxies appear in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny orange dots appear throughout the scene.

my jaw genuinely dropped at how beautiful the new jwst image is.
These shimmering cosmic curtains show interstellar gas and dust that has been heated by the flashbulb explosion of a long-ago supernova. The gas then glows infrared light in what is known as a thermal light echo. As the supernova illumination travels through space at the speed of light, the echo appears to expand. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed this light echo in the vicinity of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, J.
