the hubble space telescope's view of the cone nebula in monoceros has given us a colorful, detailed closeup of this dark column of gas as a "nest" of new stars
this is the most beautiful shot of 1995's comet hale-bopp, a huge naked-eye comet that displayed a "bifurcal" tail. the blue tail was the ion tail, glowing gases which always pointed away from the sun, as it was produced by the solar wind, and the pinkish dust tail, from solid particles stripped off the nucleus, which always points into the orbital track of the comet.
perhaps the most colorful region of the sky, this area around the giant star antares was unavailable the past few years. blue nebulae are "reflection" nebulae, and are usually starlight scattered off thin dust clouds. the other colors are "emission" nebulae, which glow under their own light from starlight energies exciting various gas clouds, like a flourescent light.
like many other objects, hubble has resolved the enigmatic antenna galaxy, which looked to earthbound 'scopes like a fuzzy insect, into reality: the antennae are a pair of interacting galaxies, caught in each other's gravitational pull, and tearing each other apart.
one of the most popular targets of astronomers, the trifid nebula in sagittarius is one of the most colorful nebulae in the sky.
there are lots of posters of the "seven sisters", or pleiades cluster, but this one has the best color, detail, and quality. blue nebulae are "reflection" nebulae, and are usually starlight scattered off thin dust clouds.
the famous horsehead nebula, a dark column of dust extending into a red nebula, is in the constellation of orion, a stellar nursery of colorful nebulae.
the nearest galaxy, also known as m-31 ,is a twin to our milky way. it can be seen as a fuzzy patch in the northern sky. it is 100,000 light-years across, and 3 million light years away.
this is the famous hubble shot of the star-forming towers in the eagle nebula (m16). each pillar is over a hundred light years high.
a beautiful hubble photograph of the interior of the lagoon nebula in the sagittarius star field looking towards the center of the galaxy.
photographed by astrophotographer extrordinaire david malin, using his technique for bringing out color and contrast. these are the "stars" seen in the sword of orion, about 1500 light years distant.
a new hubble image, the tarantula nebula is a huge nebula in another galaxy, the large magellanic cloud, an irregular galaxy which is a satellite to our own milky way. notice the preponderance of older red stars in the outer region.
scientists aimed hubble at a dark void in the sky, and this is what they saw! it's teeming with hundreds of colorful galaxies of all types and sizes.
for years, astronomers wondered what was at the heart of the huge eta carina nebula, one of the brightest objects in the southern sky. at the center of the nebula lies the homunculus, which astronomers attributed to a pulsating, variable star. hubble reveals reveals the true homunculus, a bi-lobed explosion of such a huge scale, our solar system would be a speck on one of the balloons of expanding material.
the two completely different regions of the red planet. the top shows the canyonlands and volcanoes of tharsis, the other the heavily cratered highlands and syrtis major.
this most widely seen view of the full moon was produced by norm sperling, an editor of sky and telescope magazine in the 1980's. it is actually a composite of two half (quarter) moons assembled photographically side by side. the word "moon" is shown in several different languages at the top.
here's another one from the series with bill nye hosting.
µ-ziq is got some sick idm style beats from back in the day to today and on to tomorrow. this is a wicked agro dnb track.
so many shiny things.
