- 🧵 This colour image, combining #Hubble observations with further info by Robert Gendler & Jay GaBany, shows an incredible view of Messier 106 (M106 or NGC 4258), an intermediate spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici. ➡️ esahubble.org/news/heic1302/ 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #science #astronomy #space
- I have just been awarded a NuSTAR large program!!!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 #extragalactic
- 🧵 This intriguing image shows two distant interacting galaxies, collectively called Arp 142, resembling a penguin guarding an egg. The image combines data from NASA's Spitzer (infrared light) and Hubble (visible light) telescopes. ➡️ www.spitzer.caltech.edu/image/ssc201... 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic
- 🧵 This ethereal beauty image, taken by JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), showcases NGC 346, a young open star cluster with the associated nebula located some 200,000 ly away in the nearby Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ➡️ esa.int/ESA_Multimed... 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #stellarastro #Webb #JWST
- This splendid, new image of the young star cluster NGC 346 is part of the celebrations for the 35th anniversary of Hubble. Credits: ESA/Hubble & NASA, A. Nota, P. Massey, E. Sabbi, C. Murray, M. Zamani (ESA/Hubble) science.nasa.gov/missions/hub... 🔭 🧪 #stellarastro #cosmology #HST #extragalactic
- 🧵 1/6 This fantastic composite, depicting the double star cluster NGC 1850, is one of the images released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Chandra X-Ray Observatory. ➡️ chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/2... NGC 1850 is rather unusual as no other objects 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #stellarastro
- Interestingly, the star, which is marked by four long diffraction spikes, is located in our Milky Way just 7,109 ly from Earth. This highlights how images of the cosmos can include objects at very different distances, creating a sort of perspective illusion. 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #HST #stellarastro
- 🧵 JWST's instruments, NIRCam and MIRI, reveal spectacular details of the spiral galaxy NGC 2283, in this image created by combining six shots with different filters in the near and mid-infrared. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, A. Leroy ➡️ esawebb.org/images/potm2... 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #stellarastro
- 🧵 Hubble has captured a detailed image of the spiral galaxy UGC 5460, which is not only an object of cosmic beauty, but also a natural laboratory for studying extreme stellar phenomena such as supernovae. Reference➡️ science.nasa.gov/missions/hub... 🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #stellarastro #HST #Hubble
