Good morning BlueSky friends! It’s #Stunday and I’d thought I’d share a #MilkyWay shot from the PA Grand Canyon area. I was shooting this when a truck went through the woods. Turned into a happy accident! #EastCoastKin #Astrophotography #starstruck #FebruARTY

Hoag's object, a near perfect ring galaxy. On the outside are bright blue stars, whilst the middle contains likely older redder stars. At about 7 o'clock in the dark space in between, is another more distance ring galaxy! Image credit: #NASA, #ESA,#Hubble 🔭 #Astronomy #Space

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HERES A NEW HUBBLE IMAGE OF THE TARANTULA NEBULA!!! 🌌

Hearts for everyone! Love is in the air from the Heart Nebula! 💗 #ValentinesDay Image Credit: Adam Jensen

i don’t think we realize just how MASSIVE things in space are

The supernova remnant DEM L 190 billows like a cosmic flame, its golden core fading into cooler blue filaments. Located 160,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, this celestial marvel is the aftermath of a massive star’s death. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, S. Kulkarni, Y. Chu

Magnificent! NGC 3576: Located about 9,000 light years from Earth. Star formation and death are responsible for the intriguing & complex shapes seen within. This image is over 70 light years across! (Credit: X-ray: NASA/CXC/Penn State/L.Townsley et al, Optical: ESO/2.2m telescope)

Rare, massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars appear to explode in slow motion. "So tumultuous and hot, they are slowly disintegrating right before our telescopes" WR 124 can be seen in the centre of this image. Credit: #Hubble, #NASA, #ESA, Judy Schmidt 🔭 #Astronomy #Space

This is the North American Nebula (NGC 7000) and the Pelican Nebula (IC 5070) located in the constellation Cygnus. It is a mosaic image made from 7 photographs combined from several observing sessions. Dominate areas of hydrogen are in red and oxygen is rendered in blue #astronomy #astrophotography

🔭 🧪 #cosmology 🧵 1/ Crazy and fascinating! High-resolution images from Hubble, combined with data from the WM Keck Observatory, have allowed the identification of 9 rings in the giant galaxy LEDA 1313424, nicknamed "Bullseye". Image source➡️ esahubble.org/images/opo25... The rings were probably⤵️

“Telescopes around the world have spotted a monster radio jet streaming from a quasar dating back to the first 1 billion years of the universe. At double the width of our Milky Way galaxy, this jet of radio waves is the biggest ever detected so early in the history of the universe.” #StarSky

Clearest image of Mars ever taken. 🔭 🧪

NGC 7026 - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/h8pVvK

A clumpy galaxy, possibly merging, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS survey. It is at redshift 1.24 (lookback time 8.81 billion years) with coordinates (149.78919, 2.40610). 29 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.

I SAW URANUS TONIGHT THROUGH MY TELESCOPE!!! LOOK AT THAT PRETTY BLUE COLOR 🥹 IT CANT BE SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE SO THIS WAS EXTRA SPECIAL!!!

V838. Each color shows the passage of time. As the bright flash of light left the star, it illuminated the dust surrounding it, but because space is so big, we actually see the light travelling and illuminating the dust as it goes along. By Judy Schmidt. www.flickr.com/photos/geckz... 🔭 🧪

my jaw genuinely dropped at how beautiful the new jwst image is.

These days are not good at all for so many people around here, so I'll try to brighten the mood, even for a second, with a new Hubble image! 🔭 This is the NGC-5530 galaxy, as seen by Hubble earlier today. This galaxy is located some 40 million light years away. HD: flic.kr/p/2qEpfnz

The Twin Jet Nebula from Hubble

Hi, I'm new here, for my first introductory post, here is the picture of the Bubble Nebula from the Hubble Space Telescope.🔭

Venus and the Moon looking lovely tonight! (And fainter Saturn nearby)

A galaxy with non-smooth features, observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in the COSMOS survey. It is at redshift 0.95 (lookback time 7.74 billion years) with coordinates (150.20358, 2.58914). 26 volunteers classified this galaxy in Galaxy Zoo: Hubble.
