The Two-faced Whirlpool Galaxy - From Goddard Space Flight Center - https://flic.kr/p/9a2i63

NASA image release January 13, 2011

These images by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope show off two dramatically different face-on views of the spiral galaxy M51, dubbed the Whirlpool Galaxy.

The image above, taken in visible light, highlights the attributes of a typical spiral galaxy, including graceful, curving arms, pink star-forming regions, and brilliant blue strands of star clusters.

In the image here, most of the starlight has been removed, revealing the Whirlpool's skeletal dust structure, as seen in near-infrared light. This new image is the sharpest view of the dense dust in M51. The narrow lanes of dust revealed by Hubble reflect the galaxy's moniker, the Whirlpool Galaxy, as if they were swirling toward the galaxy's core.

To map the galaxy's dust structure, researchers collected the galaxy's starlight by combining images taken in visible and near-infrared light. The visible-light image captured only some of the light; the rest was obscured by dust. The near-infrared view, however, revealed more starlight because near-infrared light penetrates dust. The researchers then subtracted the total amount of starlight from both images to see the galaxy's dust structure.

The red color in the near-infrared image traces the dust, which is punctuated by hundreds of tiny clumps of stars, each about 65 light-years wide. These stars have never been seen before. The star clusters cannot be seen in visible light because dense dust enshrouds them. The image reveals details as sma...

This image shows two supernova remnants: SNR G179.0+02.6 (upper left) and the Spaghetti Nebula (lower right). Both are thousands of light-years away, about 40,000–50,000 years old, and similar in size.

These days are not good at all for so many people around here, so I'll try to brighten the mood, even for a second, with a new Hubble image! 🔭

This is the NGC-5530 galaxy, as seen by Hubble earlier today. This galaxy is located some 40 million light years away.

HD: flic.kr/p/2qEpfnz

A spiral galaxy seen in visible light. The spiral arms appear red/brown, with the centre appearing really bright. Some star clusters can be seen in the arms, appearing blue. Some Milky Way stars are photobombing the image, as well as background galaxies.

A spiral galaxy. It has a bright core with light spilling out. Its disk holds thick clumps of dark reddish dust, which swirls around the galaxy following its rotation. Brighter and hotter stars, shown in blue, speckle parts of the disk. A halo of faint gas wraps around the galaxy, extending beyond the edges of the image.

$A small grouping of large stars shines brightly with diffraction spikes, against a background full of smaller stars, glowing reddish and blue gas, and dark dust.$ $A bright star with four diffraction spikes shines at the center of the image, surrounded by a dark blue ring of gas and dust. Other stars fill the image, all against black space.$ Intricate clouds of gas and dust fill the image. Dark brown dust is concentrated on the left side of the image, along with the lower portions of the rest of the view. Glowing green and blue gas fills the rest of the image, with pink stars visible throughout.
