Le télescope HUBBLE a pris une photo incroyable de NGC 1511, une galaxie spirale dans laquelle se déroule un feu d’artifice stellaire : chaque point lumineux correspond à une zone où naissent de nouvelles étoiles à une cadence d’essuie-glaces. C’est en somme une usine à atomes.

New Technology Telescope image of Arp 271, also known as NGC 5426 and NGC 5427.

The mutual gravitational interaction of this pair of spiral galaxies distorts their shapes and creates a bridge of gas, dust and young stars that connect the galaxies.

Two similar-looking spiral galaxies take up most of the frame. They both have bright, yellow-white central cores and well-defined spiral arms dotted with blue star clusters and dark dust lanes. NGC 5427 is a nearly face-on spiral galaxy at lower left. NGC 5426 is a more oblique galaxy at upper right. The two spiral arms on the upper side of NGC 5426 appear as a bridge that connects with NGC 5427. The black background of space is dotted with stars and small background galaxies.

NGC 3923 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/fZAiKT
Are you getting tired of elliptical shell galaxies yet? The shells NGC 3923 are more difficult to distinguish. They are also interestingly symmetrical while other shell galaxies are seemingly much more random. It is possible to process them more aggressively to make them more apparent but I think that would do a disservice to just how tenuously demarcated they are. A curious knot of dust is present in the foreground. I'm unsure if it is associated with the distant galaxy or if it is a local feature. Full disclosure: Data was once again cloned to cover the distracting chip gap. I will happily supply a version without cloned data if anyone asks.

Perseus Double Cluster Caldwell 14 (NGC 869 & 884) is a young pair of open star clusters with many hot blue-white stars. This years photo was taken with my SV555 Petzval astrograph which has better color correction than the scope I had used previously for this target.

And the nice thing about this event is that it was *not only* tracked by professional astronomers, the amateur astronomy community quickly turned their telescopes towards NGC 3621 to catch the supernova as well.

I watched and imaged it evolving over months from my backyard!

A cool celestial firework (a supernova!) went off in NGC 3621, - a galaxy ~22 million light-years away - in April of this year, and lots of folks from around the world turned their telescopes to catch it.

It was very bright, even through small apertures.

I tracked it for months!

Two tile image features two vertical tiles. The first on the left is a wide angle shot of a spiral galaxy. It is small and resides within a dense star field. On the right is the zoomed in version, looking closer at Galaxy. An annotated arrow points to a white star which is the supernova. Five vertical narrow tiles, each showing a zoomed in section of an astrophotograph of a spiral galaxy’s edge. There is an arrow annotated to one of the bright stars in the galaxy which is the supernova on each of these images.

Na snímku vidíme zvláštní spirální galaxii NGC 1511, která se nachází asi 50 milionů světelných let daleko ve směru souhvězdí Malého vodního hada.

Galaxie je doprovázena dvěma zřetelnými souputníky, trpasličími galaxiemi z nichž s jednou se v minulosti střetla, což vysvětluje její podivný vzhled.

A spiral galaxy, tilted away so that it is seen mostly from the edge. The disc of the galaxy glows blue from its centre, due to younger stars in the spiral arms. There are large and small patches of gas, glowing in red and pink colours, where new stars are forming. Webs of dark dust are spread over the disc. The glow of the disc fades into a dark background, with a couple of stars.

The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) in Cassiopeia constellation is a striking shell of gas about 7,100 light-years away, formed by the fierce stellar wind and radiation of a hot, massive O-type star (BD+60°2522) at its center. #spacephoto

This was purely an experiment. I've never managed to do much with the tiny, faint cluster NGC 7006. I tried a 4X barlow, even though I knew it would introduce new problems. Not a great image, but worth trying. #Astronomy #astrophotography
