Shoot for the stars ✨ While aboard the @Space_Station earlier this year, @Astro_Jeanette captured the perfect shot: a long-exposure photo showcasing streaks of city lights across Western Australia, with swirls of stars glittering above Earth’s golden-red atmosphere

Auroras are one of the most beautiful and dramatic spectacles we can see on Earth—and you may have the chance to spot them after the recent solar flares.

Astronomers using Hubble have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 (left) seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory (right)

When the James Webb Space Telescope observed the Horsehead Nebula in infrared light earlier this year, it took this sharp image of the top of the horse’s “mane,” a distinctive dust and gas structure. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA.

These stars have a lot of energy to let loose! The two stars at the center of this James Webb Space Telescope image appear as an orange-white splotch. They are ingesting and ejecting gas and dust … over and over. Millions of years from now, they’ll clear the scene. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA.

Two features of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A show the power of the James Webb Space Telescope’s resolving power. The colorful inner shell shows tiny knots of gas and the smoky outer layer is where ejected matter rammed into the surrounding material.

RCW 49, located in the Milky Way, is a bustling star-forming region 13,700 light-years away in the constellation Centaurus.

The new year is even more important than we thought:

Do you think you're sitting still right now? - You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s - That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s - That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s. Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

The Universe doesn't care

Hubble peered through the far southwestern edge of open cluster Messier 44 with its Advanced Camera for Surveys instrument to view this teeming collection of stars and background galaxies.

NGC 6166 is an elliptical galaxy in the Abell 2199 cluster. It lies 490 million light years away in the constellation Hercules.
