24 (NIRCam image)This sparkling scene of star birth was captured by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and radiation of nearby, massive, infant stars. Called Pismis 24, this young star cluster resides in the core of the nearby Lobster Nebula, approximately 5,500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Scorpius. Home to a vibrant stellar nursery and one of the closest sites of massive star birth, Pismis 24 provides rare insight into large and massive stars. This region is one of the best places to explore the properties of hot young stars and how they evolve. [Image description: In what appears as a celestial dreamscape, a blue and black sky filled with brilliant stars covers about two thirds of the image. The stars are different sizes and shades of white, beige, yellow, and light orange. Across the bottom third of the scene is a craggy, mountain-like vista with spire-like peaks and deep, seemingly misty valleys. These so-called mountains appear in varying shades of orange, yellow, and brown. Above their soaring spires is a wispy, ethereal white cloud that stretched horizontally across the scene. Steam appears to rise from the mountaintops and join with this cloud. At the top, right corner of the image, a swath of orange and brown structure cuts diagonally across the sky.]2025-11-29T02:58:28+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/08/the-new-glenn-launch-to-mars-scheduled-for-tomorrow/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/escapade.pngEscapadehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/screenshot-2025-11-08-11.24.37-pm-1.pngScreenshot 2025-11-08 11.24.37 PMhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/screenshot-2025-11-08-11.24.37-pm.pngScreenshot 2025-11-08 11.24.37 PM2025-11-29T02:58:05+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/28/space-quote-british-satellite-to-study-impact-of-stars-on-exoplanets/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/blueskiesspace.pngBlueSkiesSpace2025-11-29T02:48:34+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/26/happy-thanksgiving/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/iss-thanksgiving2025.pngISS-Thanksgiving20252025-11-27T04:37:11+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/25/television-star-treks-starfleet-academy-is-almost-here/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/starfleetacademy-promo.jpgStar Trek: Starfleet AcademyStar Trek: Starfleet Academy2025-11-26T03:27:55+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/24/space-stories-telescope-moving-from-us-to-spain-starliner-will-be-cargo-only-and-moss-in-space/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/tmt.jpgTMT2025-11-25T05:09:38+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/23/video-reasons-to-settle-mars/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/reasons-to-go-to-mars.pngREASONS-TO-GO-TO-MARS2025-11-24T03:03:02+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/22/movie-the-astronaut/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/theastronaut-2025.pngTheAstronaut-20252025-11-23T04:34:50+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/21/professor-loeb-is-not-convinced-by-nasa-statements-about-3i-atlas/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/image-1.pngimagehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/mro-hirise-clean-final.jpegMRO HiRISE-CLEAN FINAL2025-11-22T02:39:06+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/13/pic-of-the-week-the-new-glenn-rocket-booster-returns/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/bo-booster.pngBO-Boosterhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/screenshot-2025-11-13-11.18.55-pm.pngScreenshot 2025-11-13 11.18.55 PM2025-11-21T03:17:50+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/11/20/pic-of-the-week-wolf-rayet-apep/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/wolf-rayet-apep.jpgWolf-Rayet Apep (MIRI Image)This NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s mid-infrared image shows four coiled shells of dust around a pair of Wolf-Rayet stars known as Apep for the first time. Previous observations by other telescopes showed only one. Webb’s data, combined with observations from the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, confirmed that the two Wolf-Rayet stars sail past one another approximately every 190 years. Over each orbit, they make a close pass for 25 years, producing and spewing amorphous carbon dust. Webb’s new data also confirmed that there are three stars gravitationally bound to one another in this system. Holes are “sliced” into these shells by the third star, a massive supergiant.

The galaxy in question is NGC 2775, which lies 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer (The Crab). NGC 2775 sports a smooth, featureless centre that is devoid of gas, resembling an elliptical galaxy. It also has a dusty ring with patchy star clusters, like a spiral galaxy. Which is it, then: spiral or elliptical — or neither? Because we can only view NGC 2775 from one angle, it’s difficult to say for sure. Some researchers have classified NGC 2775 as a spiral galaxy because of its feathery ring of stars and dust, while others have classified it as a lenticular galaxy. Lenticular galaxies have features common to both spiral and elliptical galaxies. It’s not yet known exactly how lenticular galaxies come to be, and they might form in a variety of ways. Lenticular galaxies might be spiral galaxies that have merged with other galaxies, or that have mostly run out of star-forming gas and lost their prominent spiral arms. They also might have started out more similar to elliptical galaxies, then collected gas into a disk around them. Some evidence suggests that NGC 2775 has merged with other galaxies in the past. Invisible in this Hubble image, NGC 2775 has a tail of hydrogen gas that stretches almost 100 000 light-years around the galaxy. This faint tail could be the remnant of one or more galaxies that wandered too close to NGC 2775 before being stretched apart and absorbed. If NGC 2775 merged with other galaxies in the past, it could explain the galaxy’s strange appearance today. A Hubble image of NGC 2775 was previously released in 2020. The new version adds observations of a specific wavelength of red light that is emitted by clouds of hydrogen gas surrounding massive young stars.

wisps round a dusty discFor this new Picture of the Month feature, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has provided a fantastic new view of IRAS 04302+2247, a planet-forming disc located about 525 light-years away in a dark cloud within the Taurus star-forming region. With Webb, researchers can study the properties and growth of dust grains within protoplanetary discs like this one, shedding light on the earliest stages of planet formation. In stellar nurseries across the galaxy, baby stars are forming in giant clouds of cold gas. As young stars grow, the gas surrounding them collects in narrow, dusty protoplanetary discs. This sets the scene for the formation of planets, and observations of distant protoplanetary discs can help researchers understand what took place roughly 4.5 billion years ago in our own Solar System, when the Sun, Earth, and the other planets formed. IRAS 04302+2247, or IRAS 04302 for short, is a beautiful example of a protostar — a young star that is still gathering mass from its environment — surrounded by a protoplanetary disc in which baby planets might be forming. Webb is able to measure the disc at 65 billion kilometres across — several times the diameter of our Solar System. From Webb’s vantage point, IRAS 04302’s disc is oriented edge-on, so we see it as a narrow, dark line of dusty gas that blocks the light from the budding protostar at its centre. This dusty gas is fuel for planet formation, providing an environment within which young planets can bulk up and pack on mass. When seen face-on, protoplanetary discs can have a variety of structures like rings, gaps and spirals. These structures can be signs of baby planets that are burrowing through the dusty disc, or they can point to phenomena unrelated to planets, like gravitational instabilities or regions where dust grains are trapped. The edge-on view of IRAS 04302’s disc shows instead the vertical structure, including how thick the dusty disk is. Dust grains migrate to the midplane

is a Hubble Space telescope image of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. Hubble photographed the comet on 21 July 21 2025, when the comet was 365 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble shows that the comet has a teardrop-shaped cocoon of dust coming off its solid, icy nucleus. Because Hubble was tracking the comet moving along a hyperbolic trajectory, the stationary background stars are streaked in the exposure. [Image description: At the center of the image is a comet that appears as a teardrop-shaped bluish cocoon of dust coming off the comet’s solid, icy nucleus and seen against a black background.

glimpse of the distant pastThe eye is first drawn, in this new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month, to the central mega-monster that is galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This behemoth collection of galaxies, lying 4.5 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Grus (the Crane), dominates the scene. Looking more closely, this dense collection of heavy galaxies is surrounded by glowing streaks of light, and these warped arcs are the true object of scientists’ interest: faint galaxies from the Universe’s distant past. Abell S1063 was previously observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s Frontier Fields programme. It is a strong gravitational lens: the galaxy cluster is so massive that the light of distant galaxies aligned behind it is bent around it, creating the warped arcs that we see here. Like a glass lens, it focuses the light from these faraway galaxies. The resulting images, albeit distorted, are both bright and magnified — enough to be observed and studied. This was the aim of Hubble’s observations, using the galaxy cluster as a magnifying glass to investigate the early Universe. The new imagery from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) takes this quest even further back in time. This image showcases an incredible forest of lensing arcs around Abell S1063, which reveal distorted background galaxies at a range of cosmic distances, along with a multitude of faint galaxies and previously unseen features. This image is what’s known as a deep field — a long exposure of a single area of the sky, collecting as much light as possible to draw out the most faint and distant galaxies that don’t appear in ordinary images. With 9 separate snapshots of different near-infrared wavelengths of light, totalling around 120 hours of observing time and aided by the magnifying effect of gravitational lensing, this is Webb’s deepest gaze on a single target to date. Focusing such observing power on a massive gravitational lens, like Abell S1063, therefore h2025-05-30T02:06:31+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/28/space-stories-strange-flashing-object-new-dwarf-planet-in-our-solar-system-and-a-short-lived-galaxy/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/askap.pngASKAP2025-05-29T05:04:19+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/27/the-ninth-starship-test-launch-had-a-few-problems/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/starship-bluemoon.webpstarship-bluemoon2025-05-28T02:46:17+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/25/a-day-in-astronomy-president-kennedys-call-to-put-a-man-on-the-moon/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/fullmoon.webpFullMoon2025-05-26T02:48:46+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/24/space-quote-oops-sorry-about-all-that-excitement-about-k2-18b/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/k2-18billustration.jpgK2-18bIllustration2025-05-25T02:59:53+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/22/pic-of-the-week-flower-moon-from-the-iss/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flowrermoon.jpegFlowrerMoon2025-05-23T02:09:12+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/21/podcast-terra-forming-mars/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/image-3.pngimagehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/image-2.pngimage2025-05-22T04:41:22+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/20/space-stories-new-bacterial-species-at-nasa-geologic-life-on-venus-and-water-found-in-distant-solar-system/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/venus-mariner-10-pia23791-1920x640-1.webpvenus-mariner-10-pia23791-1920x640-12025-05-21T02:32:31+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/12/space-stories-stranded-mars-samples-cancelled-lunar-rover-and-new-plans-for-martian-travel/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mav-launch-1.pngMAV Launchhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/mav-launch.pngMAV Launch2025-05-21T02:13:51+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/19/ed-helms-and-lunar-nukes/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edhellmsbook.jpgEdHellmsBook2025-05-20T02:37:54+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/18/nasa-advisory-groups-share-concerns-about-budget-cuts/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/vexag.pngVEXAGhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/screenshot-2025-05-19-12.25.55-am.pngScreenshot 2025-05-19 12.25.55 AM2025-05-19T04:36:30+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/17/one-more-nation-signs-the-artemis-accords/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/artemis-accords-norway-55-051525.webpartemis-accords-norway-55-0515252025-05-18T03:51:40+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/16/follow-diu-rather-than-doge-at-nasa/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/diuseal.pngDIUSealhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/diupage.pngDIUPagehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/gears-9555419_1280.pnggears-9555419_12802025-05-17T02:29:49+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/15/pic-of-the-week-barred-spiral-galaxy-ngc-5335/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/heic2505i.jpgBarred Spiral Galaxy NGC 5335The Hubble Space Telescope captured in exquisite detail a face-on view of a remarkable-looking galaxy. NGC 5335 is categorized as a flocculent spiral galaxy with patchy streamers of star formation across its disk. There is a striking lack of well-defined spiral arms that are commonly found among galaxies, including our Milky Way. A notable bar structure slices across the center of the galaxy. The bar channels gas inwards toward the galactic center, fueling star formation. Such bars are dynamic in galaxies and may come and go over two-billion-year intervals. They appear in about 30 percent of observed galaxies, including our Milky Way. [Image description: Barred spiral galaxy NGC 5335 observed by the Hubble Space Telescope takes up the majority of the view. At its center is a milky yellow, flattened oval that extends bottom left to top. Within the oval is a bright central region that looks circular, with the very center the brightest. In the bright central region is what looks like a bar, extending from top left to bottom right. Around this is a thick swath of blue stars speckled with white regions. Multiple arms wrap up and around in a counterclockwise direction, becoming fainter the farther out they are. Both the white core and the spiral arms are intertwined with dark streaks of dust. The background of space is black. Thousands of distant galaxies in an array of colors are speckled throughout.]2025-05-16T02:29:17+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/14/space-quote-lunar-sample-sharing/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/6785425.jpg67854252025-05-15T04:55:32+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/09/space-quote-soviet-era-space-probe-may-come-down-tonight/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/venera8.jpgvenera82025-05-15T04:35:26+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/13/help-nasa-classify-new-galaxies/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/galaxyzoo.pngGalaxyZoo2025-05-14T04:09:35+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/11/aeon-article-extraterrestrial-tongues/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/alien-1015651_1280.jpgalien-1015651_12802025-05-12T02:56:00+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/10/video-andor-versus-star-trek/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/screenshot-2025-05-10-11.02.38-pm.pngScreenshot 2025-05-10 11.02.38 PM2025-05-11T03:13:35+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2025/05/08/pic-of-the-week-the-eagle-nebula/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/heic2507a.jpgEagle NebulaThis towering structure of billowing gas and dark, obscuring dust might only be a small portion of the Eagle Nebula, but it is no less majestic in appearance for it. 9.5 light-years tall and 7000 light-years distant from Earth, this dusty sculpture is refreshed with the use of new processing techniques. The new Hubble image is part of ESA/Hubble’s 35th anniversary celebrations. The cosmic cloud shown here is made of cold hydrogen gas, like the rest of the Eagle Nebula. In such regions of space new stars are born among the collapsing clouds. Hot, energetic and formed in great numbers, the stars unleash an onslaught of ultraviolet light and stellar winds that sculpt the gas clouds around them. This produces fantastical shapes like the narrow pillar with blossoming head that we see here. The material in the pillar is thick and opaque to light; it is highlighted at its edges by the glow of more distant gas behind it. The blue colours of the background are dominated by emission from ionised oxygen; the red colours lower down, glowing hydrogen. Orange colours indicate starlight that has managed to break through the dust: bluer wavelengths are blocked more easily by dust, leaving the redder light to pass through. The stars responsible for carving this particular structure out of the stellar raw material lie just out of view, at the Eagle Nebula’s centre. As the pressure of their intense radiation batters and compresses the gas in this tower of clouds, it’s possible that further star formation is being ignited within. While the starry pillar has withstood these forces well so far, cutting an impressive shape against the background, eventually it will be totally eroded by the multitude of new stars that form in the Eagle Nebula.

song for stars and camerasThe swirling, paint-like clouds in the darkness of space in this stunning image seem surreal, like a portal to another world opening up before us. In fact, the subject of this ESA/Hubble Picture of the Week is very real. We are seeing vast clouds of ionised atoms and molecules, thrown into space by a dying star. This is a planetary nebula named Kohoutek 4-55, a member of the Milky Way galaxy situated just 4600 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus (the Swan). Planetary nebulae are the spectacular final display at the end of a giant star’s life. Once a red giant star has exhausted its available fuel and shed its last layers of gas, its compact core will contract further, enabling a final burst of nuclear fusion. The exposed core reaches extremely hot temperatures, radiating very energetic ultraviolet light that energises the enormous clouds of cast-off gas. Molecules in the gas are ionised and glow brightly; here, red and orange indicate nitrogen molecules, green is hydrogen and blue shows oxygen in the nebula. Kohoutek 4-55 has an uncommon, multi-layered form: a bright inner ring is surrounded by a fainter layer of gas, all wrapped in a broad halo of ionised nitrogen. The spectacle is bittersweet, as the brief phase of fusion in the core will end after mere tens of thousands of years, leaving a white dwarf that will never illuminate the clouds around it again. This image itself is also a swan song, the final work of one of Hubble’s instruments: the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2). Installed in 1993 to replace the original Wide Field and Planetary Camera, WFPC2 was responsible for some of Hubble’s most enduring images and fascinating discoveries. It in turn was replaced by the Wide Field Camera 3 in 2009, during Hubble’s final servicing mission. The data for this image were taken a mere ten days before the instrument was removed from the telescope, as a fitting send-off for WFPC2 after 16 years’ work.

602 (Webb image)Near the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy roughly 200 000 light-years from Earth, lies the young star cluster NGC 602, which is featured in this new image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope. This image includes data from Webb’s NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) and MIRI (Mid-InfraRed Instrument). The local environment of this cluster is a close analogue of what existed in the early Universe, with very low abundances of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium. The existence of dark clouds of dense dust and the fact that the cluster is rich in ionised gas also suggest the presence of ongoing star formation processes. This cluster provides a valuable opportunity to examine star formation scenarios under dramatically different conditions from those in the solar neighbourhood. [Image description: A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.]2024-12-27T04:00:04+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/23/nasa-accomplishments-in-2024/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/nasa2024.pngNASA20242024-12-24T03:14:57+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/22/books-for-nasa-foodies/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/astronautscookbook.pngAstronautsCookbookhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/spacebites.pngSpaceBiteshttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/img_0012.jpegIMG_0012https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/img_0010.jpegIMG_00102024-12-23T04:04:38+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/21/pretty-confusing-security-issues-with-musk/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/secret-3037639_1280.jpgsecret-3037639_12802024-12-22T04:42:49+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/17/space-quote-drone-flights-over-military-locations-said-to-be-common/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/lrc-2023-h1-p-high-densityvertiplex-00451.webplrc-2023-h1-p-high-densityvertiplex-004512024-12-22T04:04:24+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/20/ufo-panic-someone-needs-a-stargazing-class/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/orionsbelt.jpgOrionsBelt2024-12-20T15:00:51+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/19/pic-of-the-week-quasar-rx-j1131-1231/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/77076244007-gravitationallylensedquasarlikejewelsonaring-53837515539-o.webp77076244007-gravitationallylensedquasarlikejewelsonaring-53837515539-o2024-12-20T05:11:21+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/16/a-day-in-astronomy-the-birth-of-philip-k-dick/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/maninhighcastle.jpgManinHighCastlehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/maninhighcastle.pngManinHighCastle2024-12-17T18:48:40+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/15/more-gift-ideas-from-the-mars-society/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/418r-rcq1cl._sx398_bo1_204_203_200.jpg418R-rCQ1CL._SX398_BO1_204_203_200https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_20231008_112133_faire-1.webpScreenshot_20231008_112133_Fairehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/screenshot_20231008_112133_faire.webpScreenshot_20231008_112133_Faire2024-12-16T03:34:42+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/13/ufos-in-new-jersey/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/ai-generated-8375589_1280.pngai-generated-8375589_12802024-12-14T04:45:05+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/12/12/pic-of-the-week-grand-design-spiral-galaxy-ngc-5643/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/potw2450a.jpgHubble revisits a grand spiralToday’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features the glorious spiral galaxy NGC 5643, which is located roughly 40 million light-years away in the constellation Lupus. NGC 5643 is what’s known as a grand design spiral, referring to how the galaxy’s two large, winding spiral arms are clear to see. The spiral arms are defined by bright blue stars, lacy reddish-brown dust clouds and pink star-forming regions. As fascinating as the galaxy appears at visible wavelengths, some of NGC 5643’s most interesting features are invisible to the human eye. Ultraviolet and X-ray images and spectra of NGC 5643 show that the galaxy hosts an active galactic nucleus: an especially bright galactic core powered by a feasting supermassive black hole. When a supermassive black hole ensnares gas from its surroundings, the gas collects in a disc that heats up to hundreds of thousands of degrees. The superheated gas shines brightly across the electromagnetic spectrum, but especially at X-ray wavelengths. NGC 5643’s active galactic nucleus isn’t the brightest source of X-rays in the galaxy, though. Researchers using ESA’s XMM-Newton discovered an even brighter X-ray-emitting object, called NGC 5643 X-1, on the galaxy’s outskirts. What could be a more powerful source of X-rays than a supermassive black hole? Surprisingly, the answer appears to be a much smaller black hole! While the exact identity of NGC 5643 X-1 is not yet known, evidence points to a black hole that is about 30 times more massive than the Sun. Locked in an orbital dance with a companion star, the black hole ensnares gas from its stellar companion, creating a superheated disc that outshines the galactic centre. NGC 5643 was also the subject of a previous Picture of the Week. The new image incorporates additional wavelengths of light, including the red color that is characteristic of gas heated by massive young stars.  [Image Description: A close-up of a spiral galaxy, seen face-on.

of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot (December 2023 to March 2Using Hubble Space Telescope data spanning approximately 90 days (between December 2023 and March 2024) when the giant planet Jupiter was approximately 630 million to 820 million kilometres from the Sun, astronomers measured the Great Red Spot’s size, shape, brightness, colour, and vorticity over one full oscillation cycle. The data reveal that the Great Red Spot is not as stable as it might look. It was observed going through an oscillation in its elliptical shape, jiggling like a bowl of gelatin.

The nebula is in the Perseus molecular cloud, and located approximately 960 light-years away. Webb’s superb sensitivity allows astronomers to investigate young objects with extremely low masses. Some of the faintest ‘stars’ in the picture are in fact newly born free-floating brown dwarfs with masses comparable to those of giant planets. The same cluster was featured as the 33rd anniversary image of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope in April of 2023. Hubble’s image just scratched the surface of this region, because clouds of dust obscure much of the star formation process. Observing with a larger aperture and in the infrared part of the spectrum, Webb is capable of peering through the dusty veil to reveal newborn stars, brown dwarfs and planetary mass objects.  The centre of the image presents a deep peek into the heart of the NGC 1333 cloud. Across the image we see large patches of orange, which represent gas glowing in the infrared. These so-called Herbig-Haro objects form when ionised material ejected from young stars collides with the surrounding cloud. They are hallmarks of a very active site of star formation. Many of the young stars in this image are surrounded by discs of gas and dust, which may eventually produce planetary systems. On the right hand side of the image, we can glimpse the shadow of one of these discs oriented edge-on — two dark cones emanating from opposite sides, seen against a bright background. Similarly to the young stars in this mosaic, our own Sun and planets formed inside a dusty molecular cloud, 4.6 billion years ago. Our Sun didn’t form in isolation but as part of a cluster, which was perhaps even more massive than NGC 1333. The cluster in the mosaic, only 1–3 million years old, presents us with an opportunity to study stars like our Sun, as well as brown dwarfs and free-floating pla2024-09-27T04:16:27+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/08/happy-star-trek-day/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/alien-1292972_1280.pngalien-1292972_12802024-09-26T01:49:12+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/24/space-stories-mars-maven-hits-10-years-martian-algorithm-helps-earth-and-more-on-lunar-waters/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/maven_mars_arrival_1240.jpg__1240x510_q85_crop_subject_location-779218_subsampling-2.jpgmaven_mars_arrival_1240.jpg__1240x510_q85_crop_subject_location-779,218_subsampling-22024-09-26T01:48:24+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/23/iss-crew-safely-back-from-iss-via-russian-spacecraft/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/53925200278_0832688728_o.webp53925200278_0832688728_o2024-09-24T02:11:34+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/21/video-an-argument-against-grabby-aliens/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/gaplot2.webpgaplot22024-09-22T03:33:43+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/19/pic-of-the-week-galactic-emoji/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/webb-stsci-01j7493cj4zg05r3txkm6be0s6-2k.webpwebb-stsci-01j7493cj4zg05r3txkm6be0s6-2k2024-09-20T02:32:19+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/17/space-stories-axiom-space-struggling-financially-intuitive-machines-gets-4-8-billion-nasa-contract-and-water-and-hydroxyl-widespread-on-moon/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/axiom-c.jpgaxiom-c2024-09-18T03:19:37+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/10/space-stories-polaris-dawn-mission-starts-report-blasts-nasa-and-galaxies-are-larger-than-we-thought/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/polaris-dawn-1536x851-1.webppolaris-dawn-1536x8512024-09-18T03:05:56+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/16/study-finding-gravitational-instability-in-a-planet-forming-disk/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/cosmos-7868658_1280.jpgcosmos-7868658_12802024-09-17T03:57:26+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/15/space-quote-nasas-space-expertise-at-risk-of-eroding/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/nasavab.pngNASAVAB2024-09-16T02:24:16+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/13/while-we-were-watching-polaris-dawn-just-another-day-for-the-iss/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/expd-72-soyuz-launch.webpexpd-72-soyuz-launch2024-09-14T02:42:36+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/12/pic-of-the-week-the-first-commercial-spacewalk/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/commercialspacewalk.pngCommercialSpaceWalk2024-09-13T02:39:44+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/08/31/space-quote-elon-musks-spat-jeopardizes-starlink-operations-in-brazil/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/brazil.webpbrazil2024-09-12T17:29:11+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/11/so-did-nasa-make-the-right-call-with-starliner/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/starlinercapsulegrounded.jpegStarlinerCapsuleGrounded2024-09-12T02:56:49+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/09/building-data-centers-in-space/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/lumenorbit.pngLumenOrbit2024-09-10T03:08:22+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/07/space-quote-exciting-days-ahead-for-the-us-space-program/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/gpn-2001-000014.webpgpn-2001-0000142024-09-08T02:46:40+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/09/05/pic-of-the-week-picture-perfect-spiral-galaxy/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/potw2436a.jpgPower across the spectrumThe Hubble Space Telescope has a lot to show in this week’s Picture of the Week. Its view here is studded with stars, many of which appear particularly large and bright thanks to their nearby locations in our own galaxy, and which feature the characteristic diffraction patterns caused by Hubble’s optics. Much further away — around 240 million light-years distant in fact, in the southern constellation Telescopium — is the spiral galaxy IC 4709. Its swirling disc filled with stars and dust bands is beautifully captured, as is the faint halo surrounding it. The compact region at its core might be the most remarkable sight, however: this is an active galactic nucleus (AGN). If IC 4709’s core were just filled with stars, it would not be nearly so bright. Instead it hosts a gargantuan black hole, 65 million times the mass of our Sun. A disc of gas spirals around and eventually into this black hole, with the gas crashing together and heating up as it spins. It reaches such high temperatures that it emits vast quantities of electromagnetic radiation, from infrared to visible to ultraviolet light and beyond — in this case including X-rays. The AGN in IC 4709 is obscured by a lane of dark dust, just visible at the centre of the galaxy in this image, which blocks any optical emission from the nucleus itself. Hubble’s spectacular resolution, however, gives astronomers a detailed view of the interaction between the quite small AGN and its host galaxy. This is essential to understanding supermassive black holes in galaxies much more distant than IC 4709, where resolving such fine details is not possible. This image incorporates data from two Hubble surveys of nearby AGNs that were identified by the Swift X-ray/UV telescope, as does the image from last week. Swift will collect new data on these galaxies — with an X-ray telescope, it’s possible to directly see the X-rays from IC 4709’s AGN breaking through the obscuring dust.

celebrate the 25th anniversary of its launch, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is releasing 25 never-before-seen views of a wide range of cosmic objects.These images were released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Chandra. They represent the wide range of objects that the telescope has observed over its quarter century of observations. X-rays are an especially penetrating type of light that reveals extremely hot objects and very energetic physical processes. The images range from supernova remnants, like Cassiopeia A, to star-formation regions like the Orion Nebula, to the region at the center of the Milky Way. This montage also contains objects beyond our own Galaxy including other galaxies and galaxy clusters.https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/25th_crab.jpgTo celebrate the 25th anniversary of its launch, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is releasing 25 never-before-seen views of a wide range of cosmic objects.These images were released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Chandra.

These stars provide compelling new evidence for the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole. Omega Centauri is visible from Earth with the naked eye and is one of the favourite celestial objects for stargazers in the southern hemisphere. Although the cluster is 17 000 light-years away, lying just above the plane of the Milky Way, it appears almost as large as the full Moon when seen from a dark rural area. The exact classification of Omega Centauri has evolved through time, as our ability to study it has improved. It was first listed in Ptolemy's catalogue nearly two thousand years ago as a single star. Edmond Halley reported it as a nebula in 1677, and in the 1830s the English astronomer John Herschel was the first to recognise it as a globular cluster. Omega Centauri consists of roughly 10 million stars that are gravitationally bound. [Image Description: A globular cluster, appearing as a highly dense and numerous collection of shining stars. Some appear a bit larger and brighter than others, with the majority of stars appearing blue and orange. They are scattered mostly uniformly, but in the centre they crowd together more and more densely, and merge into a stronger glow at the cluster’s core.]2024-07-12T02:33:20+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/03/television-new-star-wars-series-acolyte/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/andorsplash.jpgandorsplashhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/disneyacolyte.jpegdisneyacolyte2024-07-10T04:11:12+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/09/europe-is-back-in-the-space-race/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ariane_pillars.pngAriane_pillarshttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/ariane6-esa.pngAriane6-ESA2024-07-10T04:06:37+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/08/space-stories-fewer-eyes-on-asteroids-volunteer-martians-released-and-russians-plans-for-a-new-space-station/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/screenshot-2024-07-08-11.50.45-pm.pngScreenshot 2024-07-08 11.50.45 PM2024-07-09T04:01:14+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/07/podcast-alan-alda-interviews-astronaut-cady-coleman/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/clearandvivid.pngClearAndVivid2024-07-08T02:58:31+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/06/study-findings-which-caves-on-mars-are-safe-to-live-in/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/psp_008641_2105.jpgPSP_008641_21052024-07-07T01:55:03+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/05/more-on-the-recent-asteroid-flybys/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/e1__pia26384_2011ul21.jun27_all.width-1320.jpgE1__PIA26384_2011ul21.jun27_ALL.width-1320https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1_2024mk.2024jun30_crop.width-1320.png1_2024mk.2024Jun30_CROP.width-13202024-07-06T03:38:04+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/04/pic-of-the-week-happy-fourth-of-july/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/nasa-fourth.jpgNASA-Fourth2024-07-05T03:36:11+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/03/space-quote-turning-the-iss-into-very-expensive-space-junk/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/iss_emblem.pngISS_emblem2024-07-04T03:52:08+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/02/space-stories-moss-for-mars-martian-space-rocks-and-a-red-planet-practice-habitat/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/esa-mars.webpESA-Mars2024-07-03T03:49:06+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/07/01/podcast-getting-to-mars-and-staying-alive/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/redpllanetradio.pngRedPllanetRadiohttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/mars-3d-book.pngMars-3D-Book2024-07-02T04:23:13+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/28/where-is-this-june-28-2024-quiz/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/june-28-2024-quiz.pngJune-28-2024-Quiz2024-07-01T02:53:39+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/30/a-day-in-astronomy-the-tunguska-event/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/tunguska-1-russia-cia-wfb-map-tunguska-wikipedia.webptunguska-1-russia-cia-wfb-map-tunguska-wikipedia2024-07-01T01:02:11+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/29/just-in-time-for-asteroid-day/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/asteroid_day_poster.jpgASTEROID_DAY_poster2024-06-29T20:27:16+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/27/pic-of-the-week-the-dark-doodad-nebula/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/doodadimage.jpgDoodadImage2024-06-28T02:28:54+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/26/space-stories-launch-of-goes-u-satellite-jupiters-surprising-atmosphere-and-the-role-of-black-holes-in-dark-matter/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/goesulaunch.webpGoesULaunch2024-06-27T04:21:07+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/25/china-successfully-retrieves-moon-rocks/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/china-lunarsample.jpeg(EyesOnSci)CHINA-INNER MONGOLIA-CHANG'E-6-RETURNER (CN)(240625) -- SIZIWANG BANNER, June 25, 2024 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on June 25, 2024 shows the retrieval site of the return capsule of the Chang'e-6 probe in Siziwang Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Named RCW 7, the nebula is located just over 5300 light-years from Earth in the constellation Puppis. Nebulae are areas of space that are rich in the raw material needed to form new stars. Under the influence of gravity, parts of these molecular clouds collapse until they coalesce into protostars, surrounded by spinning discs of leftover gas and dust. In the case of RCW 7, the protostars forming here are particularly massive, giving off strongly ionising radiation and fierce stellar winds that have transformed it into what is known as a H II region. H II regions are filled with hydrogen ions — where H I refers to a normal hydrogen atom, H II is hydrogen that has lost its electron. The ultraviolet radiation from the massive protostars excites the hydrogen, causing it to emit light and giving this nebula its soft pinkish glow. Here Hubble is studying a particular massive protostellar binary named IRAS 07299-1651, still in its glowing cocoon of gas in the curling clouds towards the top of the nebula. To expose this star and its siblings, this image was captured using the Wide Field Camera 3 in near-infrared light. The massive protostars here are brightest in ultraviolet light, but they emit plenty of infrared light which can pass through much of the gas and dust around them and be seen by Hubble. Many of the other, larger-looking stars in this image are not part of the nebula, but sit between it and our Solar System. The creation of an H II region marks the beginning of the end for a molecular cloud. Over only a few million years, the radiation and winds from the massive stars gradually disperse the gas — even more so as the most massive stars come to the end of their lives in supernova explosions. Only a fraction of the gas will be incorporated into new stars in this nebula, with the rest being spread throughout the galaxy to eventually form new mole2024-06-21T03:38:19+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/19/space-stories-astronomical-damage-in-ukraine-an-awakened-black-hole-and-understanding-jupiters-giant-red-spot/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/20240613_nf_ukrainetelescope3_1400px.jpg20240613_nf_ukrainetelescope3_1400px2024-06-20T03:57:22+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/18/recent-book-the-wrong-stuff/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-wrong-stuff-how-the-soviet-space-program-crashed-and-burned-hardcover-9781541703346_f8721a61-46e9-4f7f-8530-3a9dfd4797c9.956f33e6947be093e998a60c2b6f75aa-1.webpthe-wrong-stuff-how-the-soviet-space-program-crashed-and-burned-hardcover-9781541703346_f8721a61-46e9-4f7f-8530-3a9dfd4797c9.956f33e6947be093e998a60c2b6f75aa-1https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-wrong-stuff-how-the-soviet-space-program-crashed-and-burned-hardcover-9781541703346_f8721a61-46e9-4f7f-8530-3a9dfd4797c9.956f33e6947be093e998a60c2b6f75aa.webpthe-wrong-stuff-how-the-soviet-space-program-crashed-and-burned-hardcover-9781541703346_f8721a61-46e9-4f7f-8530-3a9dfd4797c9.956f33e6947be093e998a60c2b6f75aa2024-06-19T03:14:25+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/17/when-will-the-boeing-astronauts-return/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/starlineriss.jpgstarlineriss2024-06-18T02:51:03+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/16/voyager-1-is-communicating-again/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/1-voyager-artists-concept-16.jpg1-voyager-artists-concept-162024-06-17T03:03:45+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/15/podcast-a-mixed-week-for-musk/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/wjbk_tesla-v-semi_031121.webpwjbk_tesla-v-semi_0311212024-06-16T03:46:08+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/14/congressional-support-for-chandra/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/savechandra.pngsavechandra2024-06-15T02:43:25+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/13/pic-of-the-week-frost-on-olympus-mons/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/mars_express_view_of_frost_on_olympus_mons_pillars.pngmars_express_view_of_frost_on_olympus_mons_pillars2024-06-14T02:35:02+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/12/space-stories-truncated-artemis-iii-mission-origins-of-a-local-galaxy-and-chandra-x-ray-observatory-exoplanet-efforts/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/starshiplaunch.pngstarshiplaunchhttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/screenshot-2024-06-12-10.48.29-pm.pngscreenshot-2024-06-12-10.48.29-pm2024-06-13T02:51:04+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/11/space-quote-starliner-a-money-pit-for-boeing/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/starliner-approach.jpgstarliner-approach2024-06-12T02:38:58+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/10/nasa-exploring-mars-sample-return-options/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/marssample.pngmarssample2024-06-11T04:07:30+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/09/video-cool-worlds-labs-emphasizes-the-need-for-greater-nasa-funding/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/chandraexplained.webpchandraexplained2024-06-10T02:37:26+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/08/rip-bill-anders-apollo-8-astronaut/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/6972225large.jpg6972225largehttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/apollo_8_earthrise_1968_as08-14-2383.webpapollo_8_earthrise_1968_as08-14-23832024-06-10T01:54:21+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/07/not-everyone-needs-to-be-part-of-the-space-age/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/flag_of_north_korea.svg_.pngflag_of_north_korea.svg_2024-06-08T02:12:03+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/06/pic-of-the-week-forth-starship-test-is-a-success/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/video-starship4.pngvideo-starship4https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/starship4.pngstarship42024-06-08T01:53:20+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2024/06/05/pic-of-the-week-launch-of-the-cst-100-starliner/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/nasa_commercial_crew_program_logo_cropped.svg_.pngnasa_commercial_crew_program_logo_cropped.svg_https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cft-liftoff-1.jpgNASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test LaunchA United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Florida.

irregular galaxy UGC 8091For the end of the year and the holiday season Hubble has captured the festive bundle of lights known as UGC 8091. UGC 8091, also known as GR 8, lies around seven million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. It is a dwarf irregular galaxy: a comparatively small, low-mass galaxy without a distinct or uniform shape. The filters used in this image date from 2006 up to 2021, and were taken by two of Hubble’s most advanced instruments: the Wide Field Camera 3 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys. An astonishing twelve filters combine to produce this image, with light from the mid-ultraviolet right through to the red end of the visible spectrum contributing. The blossoming patches of red represent light emitted by excited hydrogen molecules in hot, energetic stars that have formed in recent starbursts. The other glittering lights on show are a mix of older stars. [Image description: A collection of stars and galaxies fill the scene against a dark background. The image is dominated by a dense collection of stars that make up the irregular galaxy UGC 8091. The stars span a variety of colours, including blue and orange, with patches of blue occupying the central part of the galaxy.

cluster MACS0416 (Hubble and Webb composite image)This panchromatic view of galaxy cluster MACS0416 was created by combining infrared observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope with visible-light data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. To make the image, in general the shortest wavelengths of light were colour-coded blue, the longest wavelengths red, and intermediate wavelengths green. The resulting wavelength coverage, from 0.4 to 5 microns, reveals a vivid landscape of galaxies that could be described as one of the most colourful views of the universe ever created. MACS0416 is a galaxy cluster located about 4.3 billion light-years from Earth, meaning that the light from it that we see now left the cluster shortly after the formation of our Solar System. This cluster magnifies the light from more distant background galaxies through gravitational lensing. As a result, the research team has been able to identify magnified supernovae and even very highly magnified individual stars. Those colours give clues to galaxy distances: the bluest galaxies are relatively nearby and often show intense star formation, as best detected by Hubble, while the redder galaxies tend to be more distant, or else contain copious amounts of dust, as best detected by Webb. The image reveals a wealth of details that it is only possible to capture by combining the power of both space telescopes. In this image, blue represents data at wavelengths of 0.435, 0.606, 0.814, and 1.05 microns (Hubble filters F435W, F606W, F814W, and F105W). Green combines data at 0.90, 1.15, 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, and 2.77 microns (Hubble filter F160W and Webb filters F090W, F115W, F150W, F200W, and F277W). Red represents data at 3.56, 4.1, and 4.44 microns (Webb filters F356W, F410M and F444W). [Image description: A field of galaxies on the black background of space.

captures detailed beauty of Ring Nebula (NIRCam image)The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed the well-known Ring Nebula with unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the Ring Nebula is an archetypal planetary nebula. Also known as M57 and NGC 6720, it is both relatively close to Earth at roughly 2,500 light-years away. This new image provides unprecedented spatial resolution and spectral sensitivity. For example, the intricate details of the filament structure of the inner ring are particularly visible in this dataset. There are some 20,000 dense globules in the nebula, which are rich in molecular hydrogen. In contrast, the inner region shows very hot gas. The main shell contains a thin ring of enhanced emission fromcarbon-based molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Roughly ten concentric arcs are located just beyond the outer edge of the main ring. The arcs are thought to originate from the interaction of the central star with a low-mass companion orbiting at a distance comparable to that between the Earth and the dwarf planet Pluto. In this way, nebulae like the Ring Nebula reveal a kind of astronomical archaeology, as astronomers study the nebula to learn about the star that created it. [Image description: This image of the Ring Nebula appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements.]https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/jwst-remains.pngjwst-remains2023-10-15T03:14:59+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/13/the-psyche-mission-begins/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/nasa-psyche-mission-badge-300x296-1.jpgnasa-psyche-mission-badge-300x296-12023-10-14T01:03:16+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/11/nasa-gets-ready-for-a-thursday-launch-to-asteroid-psyche/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/pia24471.width-1024.jpgpia24471.width-1024https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/psychelaunch.webppsychelaunch2023-10-13T03:45:16+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/09/space-stories-fancy-space-suits-giant-blinding-satellites-and-more-russian-space-station-leaks/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/prada-axiom-space-nasa-lunarspacesuit_dezeen_2364_col_2-852x1065-1.jpgprada-axiom-space-nasa-lunarspacesuit_dezeen_2364_col_2-852x1065-12023-10-10T02:25:40+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/08/movie-a-million-miles-away/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/jose-astronaut.jpegjose-astronauthttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/amma-poster-1.jpgamma-poster-1https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/amma-poster.jpgamma-poster2023-10-09T02:43:56+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/07/amazons-project-kuiper-is-underway/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/kuiperlaunch.pngkuiperlaunch2023-10-08T02:55:13+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/06/space-quote-scientists-have-a-new-term-jumbos/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/08tb-jupiter-hubble-superjumbo.webp08tb-jupiter-hubble-superjumbo2023-10-07T12:32:49+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/05/pic-of-the-week-dusty-spiral-arms-of-ngc-1087/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/ngc1087-1-flat-crop-final.webpngc1087-1-flat-crop-final2023-10-05T22:23:52+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/03/satellite-news-otter-pup-to-the-rescue/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/otter_on-orbit.webpotter_on-orbithttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/otterpup.pngotterpup2023-10-04T03:25:12+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/02/space-stories-psyche-ready-to-go-interesting-exoplanets-and-protecting-astronaut-health/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/pia21499medium-1024x760-1.jpgpia21499medium-1024x760-12023-10-03T03:52:54+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/10/01/television-60-minutes-goes-to-mars/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/coschoolmines_icon_nasahabitatchallenge_perspective_image_courtesy_of_logan_architecture_pllc.webpcoschoolmines_icon_nasahabitatchallenge_perspective_image_courtesy_of_logan_architecture_pllchttps://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/screenshot-2023-10-01-10.12.31-pm.pngscreenshot-2023-10-01-10.12.31-pm2023-10-02T02:31:18+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/09/30/television-space-tourism/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/spacetourismcbs.jpgspacetourismcbs2023-10-01T02:35:20+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/09/29/space-quote-new-horizons-for-new-horizons/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/newhorizonsplutocharonextendedcover.webpnewhorizonsplutocharonextendedcover2023-09-30T02:21:13+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/09/28/pic-of-the-week-herbig-haro-211/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/sep-14-23-stsci-j-p23141a-m-2k.webpsep-14-23-stsci-j-p23141a-m-2k2023-09-29T03:01:17+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/02/10/chatgpt-the-roaming-roadster/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/roadster.webproadster2023-09-28T01:49:22+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/02/12/space-quote-googles-expensive-mistake-regarding-the-jwst/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/webb_takes_its_first_exoplanet_image_pillars.jpgWebb Takes Its First Exoplanet ImageFor the first time, astronomers have used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to take a direct image of an exoplanet. The exoplanet is a gas giant, meaning it has no rocky surface and could not be habitable. The image, as seen through four different light filters, shows how Webb’s powerful infrared gaze can easily capture worlds beyond our solar system, pointing the way to future observations that will reveal more information than ever before about exoplanets. The exoplanet in Webb’s image, called HIP 65426 b, is about 6 to 8 times the mass of Jupiter. It is young as planets go — about 15 to 20 million years old, compared to our 4.5-billion-year-old Earth. Astronomers discovered the planet in 2017 using the SPHERE instrument on the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile and took images of it using short infrared wavelengths of light. The Webb image, taken in mid-infrared light, reveals new details that ground-based telescopes would not be able to detect because of the intrinsic infrared glow of Earth’s atmosphere. Researchers have been analyzing the data from these observations and are preparing a paper they will submit to journals for peer review. But Webb's first capture of an exoplanet already hints at future possibilities for studying distant worlds. Since HIP 65426 b is about 100 times farther from its host star than Earth is from the Sun, it is sufficiently distant from the star that Webb can easily separate the planet from the star in the image. Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) are both equipped with coronagraphs, which are sets of tiny masks that block out starlight, enabling Webb to take direct images of certain exoplanets like this one.  Taking direct images of exoplanets is challenging because stars are so much brighter than planets. The HIP 65426 b planet is more than 10,000 times fainter than its host star in the near-infrared, and a few thousand times fainter in the

SmokescreenA portion of the open cluster NGC 6530 appears as a roiling wall of smoke studded with stars in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 6530 is a collection of several thousand stars lying around 4350 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The cluster is set within the larger Lagoon Nebula, a gigantic interstellar cloud of gas and dust. It is the nebula that gives this image its distinctly smokey appearance; clouds of interstellar gas and dust stretch from one side of this image to the other.Astronomers investigated NGC 6530 using Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. They scoured the region in the hope of finding new examples of proplyds, a particular class of illuminated protoplanetary discs surrounding newborn stars. The vast majority of proplyds have been found in only one region, the nearby Orion Nebula. This makes understanding their origin and lifetimes in other astronomical environments challenging.Hubble’s ability to observe at infrared wavelengths — particularly with Wide Field Camera 3— have made it an indispensable tool for understanding starbirth and the origin of exoplanetary systems. In particular, Hubble was crucial to investigations of the proplyds around newly born stars in the Orion Nebula. The new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope’s unprecedented observational capabilities at infrared wavelengths will complement Hubble observations by allowing astronomers to peer through the dusty envelopes around newly born stars and investigate the faintest, earliest stages of starbirth.[Image description: Clouds of gas cover the entire view, in a variety of bold colours. In the centre the gas is brighter and very textured, resembling dense smoke. Around the edges it is more sparse and faint. Several small, bright blue stars are scattered over the nebula.]2023-09-08T03:27:48+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/09/06/rip-marilyn-lovell-wife-of-apollo-13-commander/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/mrs.lovell.pngmrs.lovell2023-09-06T18:43:10+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.com/2023/09/05/planetary-societys-day-of-action/https://awesome-universe.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/dayofaction2023.pngdayofaction20232023-09-06T03:15:38+00:00monthlyhttps://awesome-universe.comdaily1.02026-04-03T02:36:24+00:00
