Light and shadow in the Carina Nebula.

NASA/ESA, The Hubble Heritage Team (AURA/STScI).
Previously unseen details of a mysterious, complex structure within the Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) are revealed by this image of the 'Keyhole Nebula, ' obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. The picture is a montage assembled from four different April 1999 telescope pointings with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2, which used six different colour filters. The picture is dominated by a large, approximately circular feature, which is part of the Keyhole Nebula, named in the 19th century by Sir John Herschel. This region, about 8000 light-years from Earth, is located adjacent to the famous explosive variable star Eta Carinae, which lies just outside the field of view toward the upper right. The Carina Nebula also contains several other stars that are among the hottest and most massive known, each about 10 times as hot, and 100 times as massive, as our Sun.

Hey George, some real data, but it is in written from, not a meme, I hope you can understand the data!

Good morning BlueSky friends! It’s #Stunday and I’d thought I’d share a #MilkyWay shot from the PA Grand Canyon area. I was shooting this when a truck went through the woods. Turned into a happy accident!

Butterfly emerges from stellar demise in planetary nebula NGC 6302.
(Hubble)
🔭 🧪
A wide-field Hubble image of the Butterfly Nebula (NGC 6302), a planetary nebula with a bright central region and two distinct lobes extending outwards, resembling butterfly wings. The lobes display a complex structure with swirling patterns and vibrant colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, and blue, transitioning from the hot core to the cooler outer edges. Numerous stars are scattered across the black background.

Arp 321.
a compact group of five galaxies located in the constellation Hydra. It's a fascinating object for astronomers because these galaxies are in close proximity and interacting with each other.

This Hubble image captures Arp 321, a compact group of interacting galaxies. The galaxies display distorted structures and bright star formation regions, evidence of their gravitational dance. The dominant galaxies show prominent spiral arms and bright cores.

i can’t fix anything that’s going on right now, but i can show you some beauty that’s out there… 🌌✨
Many stars crowd the image, shining in shades of white, blue, and orange, and more closely concentrated at the center. Bright blue stars are in a cluster at the center of the image. They are surrounded by a shell of brownish and burnt orange dust and gas. The shell has ridges that reach towards the stars like teeth. Stars within the dust and gas are hidden from Hubble but visible to Webb in the infrared. A number of more distant galaxies also appear in the background. Ferocious stellar winds, likely from the bright blue star at the top of the image, are blowing through a curtain of dust. The fine dust scatters the starlight at blue wavelengths. Farther down, another bright, super-hot star shines through filaments of obscuring dust, looking like the Sun shining through scattered clouds. A diagonal string of fainter accompanying stars looks reddish because dust is filtering starlight, allowing more of the red light to get through. The bottom of the picture presents a keyhole peek deep into the dark nebula. Hubble captures the reddish glow of ionized hydrogen. It looks like a fireworks finale, with several overlapping events. Fluffy tan-colored nebula clouds, with rust-colored highlights, surround a black central area. Within that area, the focal point of the image is one large yellow star with eight long thin points. To the right of this star is a bright star cluster in an oval shape. The stars within the cluster look like tiny pale blue sparkles. The cluster is more densely packed at its core and scatters outward. Towards the bottom of the image, multiple arms appear to spiral out of a cloudy tan knob. Taken together, the structures resemble a spider or a squid. Other blue and yellow eight-pointed stars, as well as distant galaxies, are dotted throughout the image.

Astro Pro-Am: Professional and Amateur Astronomers Join Forces - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - https://flic.kr/p/nhBUCh
Collaboration with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Center This image is the result of a collaboration between NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Center and amateur astrophotographer Rolf Wahl Olsen. It is part of a series of professional-amateur collaboration images and was combined by Science Imager Joseph DePasquale from Chandra X-ray Observatory Center, using both X-ray, optical and infrared data. The image is composed of the following data: My deep 120 hour optical image Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field taken over 43 nights in 2013. 230 hours of Chandra X-ray data gathered over the past 15 years. Infrared data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The combined exposure time is in excess of an astonishing 350 hours, or two weeks; more than the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Below are links to the official press releases including the other spectacular images in the series (M101, M81 and M51) with optical data by German astrophotographer Detlef Hartmann: Chandra Press Release Spitzer Press Release Individual images for download For full details on the Centaurus A Extreme Deep Field project please visit my Centaurus A gallery If you are an amateur astrophotographer, or even just an 'armchair astronomer', and would like to get involved with astronomical research then the International Astronomical Union has an excellent page with information on how to get involved in citizen science projects or Pro-Am collaborations.

Just after NASA/ESA/CSA James #Webb Space Telescope began science operations, astronomers noticed something unexpected in the data: small red objects in the distant, young Universe. They became known as 'little red dots' (LRDs)... 🔭

More on these mysterious objects👇
🔗 esawebb.org/images/littl...
Six Webb images of little red dots are combined in a two-row mosaic. Each little red dot is centred within a square frame and lies against the black background of space. Each dot has a yellow-white circular core surrounded by a red, fuzzy ring.

📷 This NASA/ESA #Hubble Space Telescope image shows a supernova-hosting galaxy, taken roughly two months after a supernova SN 2022aajn was discovered in this galaxy (visible as a blue dot at the centre of the image, brightening the hazy body of the galaxy) 🔭

🔗 esahubble.org/images/potw2...
In the exact centre a supernova is seen as a small but bright blue dot. It lies atop the outer disc of a hazy-looking galaxy, which has a somewhat warped shape. Around this are a number of much more minor galaxies visible as glowing discs, and some points of light that are stars near to us, on a black background. X-shaped spikes around each star are optical artefacts from the telescope.

Spiral Galaxy Spans Space - From NASA Marshall Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/2ofvCEC
This Jan. 10, 2013, composite image of the giant barred spiral galaxy NGC 6872 combines visible light images from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope with far-ultraviolet data from NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) and infrared data acquired by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. NGC 6872 is 522,000 light-years across, making it more than five times the size of the Milky Way galaxy. In 2013, astronomers from the United States, Chile, and Brazil found it to be the largest-known spiral galaxy, based on archival data from GALEX.

My latest for @newscientist.bsky.social is a response to a reader question about how we know that dark matter isn't just dust! It's a nice thing to take a break with, given everything else happening in our corner of the universe.

Why we should talk about invisible matter, not dark matter
The word "dark" is misleading when it comes to dark matter, because it suggests there is some kind of absorption of light happening, says Chanda Prescod-Weinstein

This image showcases three cosmic wonders: the Rosette Nebula, with its distinctive floral pattern; the Christmas Tree Nebula, and the Cone Nebula. The frame highlights the beauty and diversity of these hydrogen-rich regions where stars are being born.

The blue, six-pointed features are stars in the Milky Way.
