Barred Ring Galaxy NGC1291
Located 33 million light years away in the constellation Eridanus.
If you look carefully, there are at least 9 small fuzzy background galaxies in this photo. :)
6hrs and 15min of data, 127mm refractor, CDS 1100D.

NEW: Hubble has provided a dramatic and colorful close-up of one of the most rambunctious stars in our galaxy, weaving a huge spiral pattern among the stars. R Aquarii undergoes violent eruptions that blast out huge filaments of glowing gas: bit.ly/3Uazoyd 🔭 🧪
A bright binary star surrounded by a colorful nebula on the black background of space. The star in the center is a large white spot surrounded by a circular glow. It has a large, X-shaped set of diffraction spikes around it. The nebula extends far above, below, left and right of the star in long, arcing shapes made of thin, multicolored filaments — mostly red and greenish colors, but lit in a bright cyan near the star where its light illuminates the gas.

SPT2146-55 field.
Everything in this image is at least several billion light years away.

The image you provided is a NIRCam image of SPT2146-55. It shows a massive galaxy cluster with hundreds of galaxies, including a large number of lensed galaxies. The cluster is located about 12 billion light-years away from Earth. The image was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.

The twenty galaxies arrayed in these panels are part of an ambitious astronomical survey of tidal stellar streams. Each panel presents a composite view; a deep, inverted image taken from publicly available imaging surveys of a field that surrounds a nearby massive galaxy image. The inverted images reveal faint cosmic structures, star streams hundreds of thousands of light-years across, that result from the gravitational disruption and eventual merger of satellite galaxies in the local universe. Such surveys of mergers and gravitational tidal interactions between massive galaxies and their dwarf satellites are crucial guides for current models of galaxy formation and cosmology. Of course, the detection of stellar streams in the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy and our own Milky Way also offers spectacular evidence for ongoing satellite galaxy disruption within our more local galaxy group.

Arp 107: NIRCam only.
🔭 🧪
The near-infrared data, shown in white, shows older stars, which shine brightly in both galaxies, as well as the tenuous bridge of gas and stars that runs between them. The vibrant background galaxies are also brightly illuminated in this wavelength.

The Sharp TRP801 (1960)
A portable television, in a very 'space age' case: the top is ivory but the sides and frontispiece are cherry red. Twin antenna sprout from the back, a silver tilted carry handle sprouts from the top, and a huge silver grille allows both airflow and speaker. There are a bare minimum of controls on the top of the device itself: an on/off push toggle, a silver tuning dial, a rotary display behind a glass window for current station, and recessed plastic wheels for h-hold, v-hold, brightness, and volume.

You may have seen a video or two cross your timeline already… our team is putting the final touches on this feature as we finish up testing!

Video is almost ready for you 🤞

The Monorail
An all-in-one computer from 1996. It stands on its edge, somewhat like a clamshell computer, but using standard keyboard and mouse. It looks like a precursor for the POS machines of today.

NGC 2336 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Camelopardalis ✨🔭
"A detailed image of NGC 2336, a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Camelopardalis, located about 100 million light-years from Earth. The galaxy, with its bright core and graceful spiral arms, spans approximately 200,000 light-years. The surrounding field is dotted with stars, with another smaller galaxy visible above NGC 2336 (IC 467), adding to the sense of depth. Discovered by Wilhelm Tempel in 1876, this galaxy stands out for its beautiful structure and scale." #space #astrophotography

Just reprocessed my old data of the Tadpole Nebula! 🌌It’s amazing what a fresh look can reveal. Always worth revisiting old captures with new techniques. #Astrophotography #TadpoleNebula #Space

Messier 81 ✨🔭
"A magnificent image of Messier 81, a grand design spiral galaxy located approximately 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy’s bright, golden core is surrounded by tightly wound spiral arms, which are subtly highlighted by pink regions indicating star-forming areas. The surrounding space is filled with countless stars, each adding to the depth and scale of this cosmic scene. The delicate structure of the galaxy’s arms and the contrast between the warm central glow and the cooler outer regions make Bode's Galaxy a captivating sight in the vastness of space." #space #astrophotography
