Galaxy has 13 billion years - light in cluster CL1358+62 - Galaxy 13 billion light - years away - Image obtained by the Hubble space telescope of the galaxy cluster CL1358+62. This cluster reveals to us, by a gravitational mirage effect, the deformed image of a galaxy, located behind the cluster at a distance of 13 billion years - light (the red crescent at the bottom right of the image). At the top right, a close-up of this arc reveals brighter points, indicating a strong star-forming activity within this galaxy. At the bottom right, a modeling of this arc. A NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy cluster CL1358+62 has uncovered a gravitationally - lensed image of a more distant galaxy located far beyond the cluster. The gravitationally - lensed image appears as a red crescent to the lower right of center. The galaxy's image is brightened, magnified, and smeared into an arc - shape by the gravitational influence of the intervening galaxy cluster, which acts like a gigantic le

Jet from the elliptical galaxy M87 by Hubble - Jet in the elliptical galaxy M87 - The galaxy M87 (NGC 4486) is located about 60 million years ago - light from Earth, in the heart of the Virgin's cluster. This image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in February 1998 shows a gigantic jet of gas material ejected from the heart of the galaxy. A supermassive black hole would have caused this jet. M87 is the brightest radio source of the constellation, it is also called Virgo A. M87 (also known as NGC 4486) is a giant elliptical galaxy; one of many ellipticals in the nearby Virgo cluster of galaxies. In the 1950s when the field of radio was blossoming, one of the brightest radio sources in the sky, Virgo A, was discovered to be associated with M87 and its jet. <BR>After decades of study, prompted by these discoveries, the source of this incredible amount of energy powering the jet has become clear. Lying at the center of M87 is a supermassive black hole, which has swallowed up a mass eq

M87 elliptical galaxy in Virgo - M87 elliptical galaxy in Virgo - The M87 galaxy (NGC 4486) is 54 million years ago - light from Earth, in the heart of the Virgin's cluster. This composite image obtained by the Hubble space telescope in 2003 and 2006 shows a gigantic jet of gas material ejected from the heart of the galaxy. A supermassive black hole would have caused this jet. The monstrous elliptical galaxy M87 is the home of several trillion stars, a supermassive black hole, and a family of 13,000 globular star clusters. M87 is the dominant galaxy at the center of the neighboring Virgo cluster of galaxies, which contains some 2,000 galaxies. Amid the smooth, yellow population of older stars, the two features that stand out most in this Hubble Space Telescope image of M87 are its soft blue jet and the myriad of starlike globular clusters scattered throughout the image. The jet is a black - hole - powered stream of material that is being ejected from the core of the galaxy. As gaseous

Galaxy of the Wheel of the Charette in the Sculptor - The Cartwheel Galaxy - The ring galaxy of the Wheel of the Charette is about 500 million years away - light from Earth. It is surrounded by a ring of 150,000 years - light of diameter composed of young and very bright stars (detail at the top left). This particular form is the result of a collision, probably with one of the two galaxies on the right. Bottom left, close-up on the nucleus of the galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in October 1994. A rare and spectacular head - on collision between two galaxies appears in this NASA Hubble Space Telescope true - color image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, located 500 million light - years away in the constellation Sculptor. The details of star birth resolved by Hubble provide an opportunity to study how extremely massive stars are born in large fragmented gas clouds.

Mirror of the Herschel satellite - Herschel spacecraft's mirror - Inspection of the mirror of the European Herschel satellite. The Herschel Space Observatory, scheduled to launch in 2009, will study in the infrared the formation of galaxies, stars and planetary systems. This satellite measures nearly 7 metres high by 4.3 metres wide and weighs 3.25 tonnes. Its telescope has a 3.5-meter mirror, making it the largest mirror ever made for a scientific space mission. Herschel will orbit around Lagrange 2, approximately 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space - based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft. Herschel's telescope, which will carry the largest mirror ever flown in space, has been delivered to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre, ESTEC, where engineers and scientists are busy with the final steps that will prepare the infrared observatory for launch in 2009.

Remains of the Supernova of Vails - Nearly 12,000 years ago, a massive star exploded in the constellation of Vails. The star reaches the end of life and expels its material to become a small star only a few kilometres in diameter. This stellar corpse is a neutron star, the pulsar of the Voiles, barely visible towards the center of the image. The gas shell that surrounds it, extends today for more than 100 years - light; The field of this image is gigantic; it covers part of the sky equal to 19 times the apparent diameter of the full moon. Mosaic of images obtained from Siding Spring's 1.2m Schmidt UK Telescope

Detail of the Tarantula nebula (NGC 2070) in the Dorado - Detail of the Tarentula nebula in Dorado - Image of a detail of the Tarantula nebula obtained in December 2001 with the WFI instrument of the ESO/MPG 2.2 telescope - m at the La Silla Observatory. The Tarantula Nebula (or 30 Dorada) is the largest star-forming region of the Great Magellan Cloud, a galaxy adjacent to ours. It is located 170,000 light years ago in the constellation Dorado (southern hemisphere). This image shows the turbulent region around the ring - shaped nebula DEM L 299 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way system. It was produced by combining three monochromatic images obtained in December 2001 with the Wide - Field - Imager (WFI) at the ESO/MPG 2.2 - m telescope at the La Silla Observatory. North is up and East is left. The coloured rings seen near some of the brighter stars in the field result from light reflections in the telescope optics. The Tarantula Nebula is one of the most

Horsehead nebula and Orion nebula - Orion nebula and horsehead nebula - On the left, the dark nebula of the horse's head (IC434 - B33). On the right, the large Orion nebula (M42) is a vast region of star formation. These nebulae are located 1500 years of light from Earth. Mosaic of four images obtained with a FSQ 106 bezel, a 50 cm telescope and CCD STL11000 camera, with an H alpha filter. Total installation of 50 hours. This large complex of nebulosity is located about 1,500 light years away in Orion. The Orion complex is a gigantic stellar nursery where stars are forming out of the dust and gas in the region. The brightest star in the photo at left is Alnilam, the middle star of the three distinctive stars in the belt of Orion. Bottom left is the Flame nebula, NGC 2024, and to its right is dark nebula B33, the Horsehead Nebula. Above at right is a patch of blue reflection nebulosity NGC 1973 - 4 - 5 and the beautiful Orion Nebula, M 42

Jupiter's Fusion Spots seen by the Hubble Space Telescope - Sequence of images of Jupiter's atmosphere obtained on May 15, June 28 and July 8, 2008 by the Hubble Space Telescope. The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a gigantic permanent tempete measuring nearly 25,000 km in diameter. It's been observed for over 400 years. A second red spot half smaller, appeared in 2006; visible at the bottom of the image, we see it passing on this series below the Great red spot without being disturbed by the huge cyclone. A third red spot, visible at the extreme left on the first image appeared at the beginning of 2008. We see her heading towards the Great red spot to appear on the last clash deformed and almost colorless. It seems his destiny is to be totally swallowed by the Great Red Spot. The time series shows the passage of the “” Red Spot Jr.”” in a band of clouds below (south) of the Great Red Spot (GRS). “” Red Spot Jr.”” first appeared on Jupiter in early 2006 when a previously white storm turne

Tethys, Saturn satellite, seen by the Cassini probe - Saturn's moon Tethys seen by Cassini spacecraft - The Tethys satellite photographed by the Cassini probe on August 30, 2007 at a distance of 97,000 km. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. At the top left of the picture is the gigantic impact crater Odysseus, which measures 450 km in diameter. The vast expanse of the crater Odysseus spreads out below Cassini in this mosaic view of Saturn's moon Tethys. The crater (450 kilometers or 280 miles across) is a remarkably well - preserved example of an ancient multi - ringed impact basin: the outer ring is defined by steep, cliff - like walls that descend to generally broad internal terraces. The inner ring is formed by a prominent, crown - shaped, 140 - kilometer (88 - mile) diameter circular band of icy mountains. Multi - ring basins are seen on rocky bodies as well as icy ones. The complex internal structure and multi - ringed nature of these very large basins are believed to arise from
