In a related study, the ALMA observatory finds hints of planets being born around stars in our galaxy's "central molecular zone." This region is dense and turbulent, with a supermassive black hole at the center -- yet planets seem to be forming there anyway. 🧪🔭

Even though Stephan’s Quintet is called a quintet, only four of the galaxies here are close together (about 290 million light-years away from Earth). The fifth and leftmost galaxy, NGC 7320, is only about 40 million light-years away: bit.ly/42MkBik 🔭 🧪
A group of five galaxies that appear close to each other in the sky: two in the middle, one toward the top, one to the upper left, and one toward the bottom. Four of the five appear to be touching. One is somewhat separated. The galaxies are large relative to the hundreds of much smaller (more distant) galaxies in the background. All five galaxies have bright white cores. Each has a slightly different size, shape, structure, and coloring. Scattered in front of the galaxies are number of foreground stars with bright white diffraction spikes radiating from the center.

⭕ A stunning cosmic lens!

A distant background spiral galaxy appears to be wrapped around a closer foreground elliptical galaxy, forming an Einstein ring.

Captured by the NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope. Read more 👉 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

🔭 🧪 ☄️
In the centre is an elliptical galaxy, seen as an oval-shaped glow around a small bright core. Around this is wrapped a broad band of light, appearing like a spiral galaxy stretched and warped into a ring, with bright blue lines drawn through it where the spiral arms have been stretched into circles. A few distant objects are visible around the ring on a black background.

CRAZY new image from #JWST of a distant spiral wrapped around a foreground elliptical through gravitational lensing - perfectly aligned, forming a perfect Einstein ring. A serendipitous discovery led by G. Mahler of @universitedeliege.bsky.social 🇧🇪 🔭

#NASAWebb was built to see the early universe. Earendel, the most distant star Webb has seen, is thought to exist about 1 billion years after the big bang. The most distant galaxy Webb has seen is even farther, around 300 million years after the big bang: bit.ly/40ZyR4L 🔭 🧪
The image is split in half vertically. On the left, a black background is scattered with hundreds of small galaxies of different shapes, ranging in color from white to yellow to red. Some galaxies, mostly the redder galaxies, are distorted, appearing to be stretched out or mirror imaged. Just a little bit above the center, there is a bright source of light, a star, with 8 bright diffraction spikes extending out from it. A portion of the larger image is zoomed-in on the right, showing a particularly long, red, thin line that stretches from 1 o’clock to 7 o’clock. There are several bright dots, some thicker than others, along this line, with one labeled as Earendel.

This is the actual supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy (Saggitrarius A*), observed by JWST (NIRCam) for over 9 hours.
The flickers you see are solar flares on a mind-boggling scale, bright enough to shine across 26,000 light-years of space.

Phoenix Galaxy Cluster by Webb (IR), Chandra (X-ray), Hubble (Visible), and VLA (radio).
🔭 🧪
A galaxy cluster. The center of the cluster is bright white with short red jets that point toward the top right and bottom left, and several blue filaments that spread throughout the center. Outside the bright center is purple gas that is bright toward the center and dimmer further from the center. Yellow galaxies of various shapes and sizes are spread throughout the image.

Released from Hubble a few days ago - the image shows a giant among galaxies LEDA 1313424 or, the Bullseye.

A smaller blue dwarf galaxy went through the centre leaving 9 star filled rings.

Like dropping a pebble into a pond!

🔭 🧪
This Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) image shows the Bullet Cluster, a powerful astronomical event resulting from the collision of two galaxy clusters. The image features a bright, central core with a distinct pinkish hue, representing the hot gas. Surrounding this core are countless individual galaxies, seen as bright white and yellowish dots, scattered across the dark background of space. Extending outwards from the center are faint, blue streaks, indicative of the superheated gas that was pulled away during the collision. The overall scene conveys a sense of immense energy and cosmic dynamism.

Bullseye! Researchers using Hubble found a massive galaxy rippling with nine star-filled rings after an “arrow,” the blue dwarf galaxy to its center-left, plunged through its core 50 million years ago. A thin trail of gas still links the pair: bit.ly/4hcX52n 🔭 🧪
A large galaxy is at center, and a significantly smaller galaxy is to its left. The large galaxy, nicknamed the Bullseye, is mostly face-on, but the top appears slightly tilted away. It has several rings. Its circular core is bright white at the very center, but light yellow overall. Going outward, there are gaps between the rings. The core is surrounded by two slightly lighter yellow rings, which also appear to be overlapping. The next ring is slightly more transparent and yellow. The two or three rings that are farther out are bluer, sometimes with blue clumps. The widest ring is also blue, but also the most transparent. At 9 o’clock is a small dwarf galaxy. It is about the same size as the yellow core of the Bullseye. The dwarf galaxy is blue, with many dots. It looks like the edge of the Bullseye might touch the dwarf galaxy. Both galaxies are set on the black background of space, which is dotted with a range of galaxies in different shapes, colors, and sizes.
