Hoag’s Object is a rare ring galaxy located over 600 million light-years from Earth.

A nearly perfect circle full of young blue stars surrounds a spheroid of mostly older red giant stars. In between is a gap that appears almost completely empty.

Delightfully distinctive.

The Geminids are one of the best and most visible annual meteor showers, when at least 120 meteors can usually be seen per hour. But 2024 will be different, thanks to the year's final full moon.

The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission nebula called NGC 6357, located about 8,000 light-years from Earth. The cluster is seen here above a small portion of the nebula.
