Barree spiral galaxy NGC 4639 in Virgo - Barred galaxy NGC 4639 in Virgo - The barree spiral galaxy NGC 4639 is located 78 million years - light in the Virgin's galaxy cluster. The blue dots visible on this image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope are young stars. Other stars, cepheides have also been observed in this galaxy, allowing us to measure their distance with precision. This Hubble Space Telescope image shows NGC 4639, a spiral galaxy located 78 million light - years away in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The blue dots in the galaxy's outlying regions indicate the presence of young stars. Among them are older, bright stars called Cepheids, which are used as reliable milepost markers to obtain accurate distances to nearby galaxies. Astronomers measure the brightness of Cepheids to calculate the distance to a galaxy. After using Cepheids to calculate the distance to NGC 4639, the team compared the results to the peak brightness measurements of SN 1990N, a type Ia supernova l

Galaxy cluster Abell 1689 - Gravitational lenses in Abell 1689 galaxy cluster - Galaxy cluster Abell 1689 is about 2.2 billion years ago - light in the constellation of the Virgin. This image shows, by a gravitational mirage effect, the deformed image of many galaxies located behind the cluster. Near infrared and visible image obtained by the Hubble space telescope. 34 hours of installation. This new Hubble image shows galaxy cluster Abell 1689. It combines both visible and infrared data from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) with a combined exposure time of over 34 hours (image on left over 13 hours, image on right over 20 hours) to reveal this patch of sky in greater and striking detail than in previous observations. This image is peppered with glowing golden clumps, bright stars, and distant, ethereal spiral galaxies. Material from some of these galaxies is being stripped away, giving the impression that the galaxy is dripping, or bleeding, into the surrounding space. Also

Remnants of Supernova Tycho in X in Cassiopee - Tycho's Supernova Remnant: Chandra's View of Tycho's Supernova Remnant This Chandra image reveals fascinating details of the turbulent debris created by a supernova explosion that was observed by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe in the year 1572. The colors show different X - ray energies, with red, green, and blue representing low, medium and high energies, respectively. The image is cut off at the bottom because the southernmost region of the remnant fell outside the field of view of the detector. A shock wave produced by the expanding debris is outlined by the strikingly sharp blue circular arcs of twenty million degree Celsius gas seen on the outer rim. The stellar debris, which has a temperature of about ten million degrees and is visible only in X - rays, shows up as mottled yellow, green and red fingers of gas. Tycho's supernova remnant presents several interesting contrasts with the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) supernova remnant. The deb

Saturn and Mimas seen by the Cassini probe on 04/09/2007 - Saturn and Mimas seen by Cassini spacecraft Sept. 4 2007 - Saturn seen by the Cassini probe on 4/09/2007 at a distance of 2.7 million km from the planet. The Mimas ice satellite is visible under Saturn's rings. The Cassini spacecraft looks beyond Saturn's limb towards the icy face of Mimas, the innermost of the planet's major moons. This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 3 degrees below the ringplane. Mimas is 396 kilometers (246 miles) across. Images taken using red, green and blue spectral filters were combined to create this natural color view. The images were acquired with the Cassini spacecraft narrow - angle camera on Sept. 4, 2007 at a distance of approximately 2.7 million kilometers (1.7 million miles) from Saturn and 2.8 million kilometers (1.8 million miles) from Mimas. Image scale is 16 kilometers (10 miles) per pixel on Saturn and 17 kilometers (11 miles) per pixel on Mimas

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 11 April 2015 has a distance of 53,000 km from the satellite. Tethys is about 1070 km in diameter. - This enhancement-color mosaic of Saturn's icy moon Tethys shows a range of features on the moon's trailing hemisphere. Tethys is tidally locked to Saturn, so the trailing hemisphere is the side of the moon that always faces opposite its direction of motion as it orbits the planet - Images taken using clear, green, infrared and ultraviolet spectral filters were combined to create the view, which highlights subtle color differences across Tethys' surface at wavelengths not visible to human eyes. The moon's surface is fairly uniform in natural color - The color of the surface changes conspicuously across the disk, from yellowish hues to nearly white. These broad color changes are affected by a number of external processes. First, S

Pluto seen by the New Horizons probe - Pluto seen by New Horizons - Pluto seen by the New Horizons probe. Composite image created from four images obtained on 13 July 2015 at a distance of 450,000 km from the dwarf planet. Four images from New Horizons' Long Range Recognition Imager (LORRI) were combined with color data from the Ralph instrument to create this global view of Pluto. (The lower right edge of Pluto in this view currently lacks high - resolution color coverage.) The images, taken when the spacecraft was 280,000 miles (450,000 kilometers) away, show features as small as 1.4 miles (2.2 kilometers), twice the resolution of the single - image view taken on July 13

Cratere Erlanger sur la Lune - Erlanger crater near Moon north pole - Erlanger cratere is located 90 km from the north pole of the Moon. The bottom of this 10 km-diameter crater rarely receives the sun's rays. In this image obtained on August 8, 2009 by the LRO probe (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter), only the edges of the crater are illuminated by the Sun. Bed view of Erlanger, crater 10 km (6 miles) across just 90 km (50 miles) from the Moon's north pole. The Sun is perpetually on the horizon as seen from the crater, and only the raised rim is ever lit. In this shot almost the entire circle of the rim can be seen, poking into the sunlight. The crater has steep walls, and the bottom almost never sees sunlight. Image taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's (LRO) instrument on august 8 2009

Galaxy IC 883 - Galaxy IC 883 - The particular galaxy IC 883 (Arp 193) is located about 300 million light years away from Earth in the constellation Hunting Dogs. Its shape presents two antennas, maree tails, suggesting that IC 883 is the fusion of two galaxies. The collision caused a burst of star formations as evidenced by the presence of star clusters in the central region. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on January 10, 2002. IC 883 displays a very disturbed, complex central region with two tidal tails of approximately the same length emerging at nearly right angles: one diagonally to the top right of the frame and the other to the bottom right. The twin tidal tails suggest that IC 883 is the remnant of the merger of two gas - rich disk galaxies. The collision appears to have triggered a burst of star formation, indicated by a number of bright star clusters in the central region. IC 883 is 300 million light - years away towards the constellation of Canes Venatici, the H

Planetary nebula NGC 6543 dans le Dragon/HST - The nebula, formally cataloged NGC 6543 was one of the first planetary nebulae to be discovered; it is one of the most complex such nebulae seen in space. A planetary nebula forms when Sun - like stars gently eject their outer gaseous layers that form bright nebulae with amazing and confounding shapes. In 1994, Hubble first revealed NGC 6543's surprisingly intricate structures, including concentric gas shells, jets of high - speed gas, and unusual shock - induced knots of gas. As if the Cat's Eye itself isn't spectacular enough, this new image taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) reveals the full beauty of a bull's eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat's Eye. Each 'ring' is actually the edge of a spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky - - that's why it appears bright along its outer edge. Observations suggest the star ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500 - year inte

Remnants of Supernova of Vails - detail - Pencil Nebula (NGC 2376) - Remnants from a star that exploded thousands of years ago created a celestial abstract portrait, as captured in this image of the Pencil Nebula. Officially known as NGC 2736, the Pencil Nebula is part of the huge Vela supernova remnant, located in the southern constellation Vela. Discovered by Sir John Herschel in the 1840s, the nebula's linear appearance triggered its popular name. The nebula's shape suggests that it is part of the supernova shock wave that recently encountered a region of dense gas. It is this interaction that causes the nebula to glow, appearing like a rippled sheet. In this snapshot, astronomers are looking along the edge of the undulating sheet of gas. This view shows large, wispy filamentary structures, smaller bright knots of gas, and patches of diffuse gas. The Hubble Heritage Team used the Advanced Camera for Surveys in October 2002 to observe the nebula. The region of the Pencil Nebula captu

Interacting Galaxies Arp 240 - Interacting galaxies Arp 240 - The galaxy Arp 240 is located about 300 million light years away from Earth in the constellation of the Virgin. Composed of spiral galaxies NGC 5257 and NGC 5258, this interacting system presents important star formations. The two galaxies contain a supermassive black hole in the centre. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on 20 December 2001. NGC 5257/8 (Arp 240) is an astonishing galaxy pair, composed of spiral galaxies of similar mass and size, NGC 5257 and NGC 5258. The galaxies are visibly interacting with each other via a bridge of dim stars connecting the two galaxies, almost like two dancers holding hands while performing a pirouette. Both galaxies harbor supermassive black holes in their centers and are actively forming new stars in their disks. Arp 240 is located in the constellation Virgo, approximately 300 million light - years away, and is the 240th galaxy in ARP's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. With the e

Interacting galaxies NGC 454 - Interacting galaxies NGC 454 - NGC 454 is located about 164 million light years away from Earth in the southern constellation of Phenix. This pair of interacting galaxies consists of a large elliptical galaxy and an irregular galaxy. The fusion process between the two galaxies is still in its early stages and no sign of star formation caused by this interaction has been detected. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on 6 March 1997. NGC 454 is galaxy pair comprising a large red elliptical galaxy and an irregular gas - rich blue galaxy. The system is in the early stages of an interaction that has severely distorted both components. The three bright blue knots of very young stars to the left of the two main components are probably part of the irregular blue galaxy. Although the dust lanes that stretch all the way to the center of the elliptical galaxy suggest that gas has penetrated that far, no signs of star formation or nuclear activity are visibl

Globular cluster M13 - Hercules cluster - The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules M13 - M13 (NGC 6205), extends for about 150 years - light and is approximately 25,000 years - light from Earth in the constellation of Hercules. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. M13 is home to over 100,000 stars and located at a distance of 25,000 light - years. These stars are packed so closely together in a ball, approximately 150 light - years across, that they will spend their entire lives whirling around in the cluster. Near the core of this cluster, the density of stars is about a hundred times greater than the density in the neighborhood of our sun. These stars are so crowded that they can, at times, slam into each other and even form a new star, called a “blue straggler.” The brightest reddish stars in the cluster are ancient red giants. These aging stars have expanded to many times their original diameters and cooled. The blue - white stars are the hottest in the cluster. Globular clu

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.
