The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a spectacular and unprecedented view of a star-forming region known as the Tarantula Nebula. . The superb new detail in the image means Doradus 30, initially nicknamed Tarantula for its spider-like appearance, can now be seen to also resemble a burrowing tarantula's lair, lined with silk. . The Tarantula Nebula is located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud and is the brightest star-forming region in the galaxies nearest to our Milky Way, collectively known as the Local Group. . In this mosaic image stretching 340 light-years across, Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) displays the Tarantula Nebula star-forming region in a new light, including tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were previously shrouded in cosmic dust. .

Mountains of Dust in the Carina Nebula🌌😍 It's stars versus dust in the Carina Nebula and the stars are winning. More precisely, the energetic light and winds from massive newly formed stars are evaporating and dispersing the dusty stellar nurseries in which they formed. Located in the Carina Nebula and known informally as Mystic Mountain, these pillar's appearance is dominated by the dark dust even though it is composed mostly of clear hydrogen gas. Dust pillars such as these are actually much thinner than air and only appear as mountains due to relatively small amounts of opaque interstellar dust. About 7,500 light-years distant, the featured image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope and highlights an interior region of Carina which spans about three light years. Within a few million years, the stars will likely win out completely and the entire dust mountain will evaporate Credits: NASA . . #spacepics #spacetravel #galactic #discovery #constellation #cosmos #universe #science #constellation #universe #spacetime #astronomer #outerspace #space #nightsky #galaxy #deepsky #cosmology #blackholes #interstellar #hubbletelescope #astronaut #spaceart #universeexploration #magical #nebula #astronomy #astronomylover #astronomyphotography #astro #astrography #dailyastronomy

This image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the heart of M74, otherwise known as the Phantom Galaxy. Webb’s sharp vision has revealed delicate filaments of gas and dust in the grandiose spiral arms which wind outwards from the centre of this image. A lack of gas in the nuclear region also provides an unobscured view of the nuclear star cluster at the galaxy's centre. M74 is a particular class of spiral galaxy known as a ‘grand design spiral’, meaning that its spiral arms are prominent and well-defined, unlike the patchy and ragged structure seen in some spiral galaxies. The Phantom Galaxy is around 32 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Pisces, and lies almost face-on to Earth. This, coupled with its well-defined spiral arms, makes it a favourite target for astronomers studying the origin and structure of galactic spirals. Webb gazed into M74 with its Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) in order to learn more about the earliest phases of star formation in the local Universe. These observations are part of a larger effort to chart 19 nearby star-forming galaxies in the infrared by the international PHANGS collaboration. Those galaxies have already been observed using the Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories. The addition of crystal-clear Webb observations at longer wavelengths will allow astronomers to pinpoint star-forming regions in the galaxies, accurately measure the masses and ages of star clusters, and gain insights into the nature of the small grains of dust drifting in interstellar space.

The James Webb Space Telescope specializes in infrared light and can't see blue . Conversely , the Hubble Space Telescope has a smaller mirror than Webb but can image not only blue light , but even ultraviolet . Therefore , Webb and Hubble data can be combined to create images across a wider variety of colors . This impressive image of four galaxies from Stephan's Quintet shows Webb images as red and also includes images taken by Japan's ground - based Subaru telescope in Hawaii . . . @nasahubble @spacejameswebb . #eso #espaço #cosmos #buraconegro #ton618 #sistemasolar #estrelas #stars #estaçãoespacialinternacional #aglomerado #universo #nasa #hubble #hubbletelescope #andromeda #vialactea #colisão #marte #mars #esa #supernova #grandenuvemdemagalhães #magalhaes #andromeda #moon #saopaulo #estadosunidos #lua #jameswebb

WR 134 is a variable Wolf-Rayet star located around 6,000 light years away from Earth in the constellation of Cygnus, surrounded by a faint bubble nebula blown by the intense radiation and fast wind from the star. It is five times the radius of the sun, but due to a temperature over 63,000 K it is 400,000 times as luminous as the Sun. WR 134 was one of three stars in Cygnus observed in 1867 to have unusual spectra consisting of intense emission lines rather than the more normal continuum and absorption lines. These were the first members of the class of stars that came to be called Wolf-Rayet stars (WR stars) after Charles Wolf and Georges Rayet who discovered their unusual appearance Photo: @dainjason Integration time: 27 hrs Hydrogen, Oxygen and RGB stars (narrowband gain 200, broadband gain 120) Telescope: Skywatcher Esprit 120 ED APO Imaging Camera: ZWO ASI 294MM Pro Guiding: Starfield 50mm guide scope with ZWO ASI290MM guide camera Filter: Optolong Ha, Oiii (7/6.5nm) and RGB filters Mount: Skywatcher EQ6R-Pro Calibration: Flats and flat darks Hardware Control: ASIAIR Pro, Pegasus Power Box, ZWO EAF and EFW Processing: The selected images were pre-processed and processed using Pixinsight. #space #nebula #astro #astrophotography #astrophoto #astrophotographer #spacephotography #cosmos #stars #nightsky #nightphotography #deepsky #deepskyphotography #telescope #narrowband #telescopephotography #spacephotography #spacephotos #nightskyphotography

Dumbbell Nebula First deep sky object with the 8 f/4 newt. I had to do 10 min instead of 20 min subs due to the wind picking up.

The Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 32nd birthday with a stunning look at an unusual close-knit collection of five galaxies, called the Hickson Compact Group 40. This snapshot reflects a special moment in their lifetimes as they fall together before they merge.

The Orion Bar is a diagonal, ridge-like feature of gas and dust in the lower left quadrant of this HUBBLE image of the Orion Nebula. Sculpted by the intense radiation from nearby hot, young stars, the Orion Bar at first glance appears to be shaped like a bar. It is probably prototypical of a photodissociation region, or PDR. 📸: Hubble Space Telescope APOTD_119 #astronomy #space #nasa #astrophotography #universe #science #cosmos #moon #stars #galaxy #astrophysics #physics #photography #nightsky #spacex #milkyway #cosmology #astro #telescope #earth #astronomia #sky #nature #astronaut #solarsystem #nightphotography #planets #astrophoto #mars #nebula

This is a pseudo three-dimensional trip into a giant “mountain” of cool hydrogen and dust in the Carina Nebula, but personally I see a knight on a horse – The Carina nebula is a vast star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy. The nebula is too far away for Hubble Space Telescope to see in true three dimensions. But this visualisation creates foreground and background elements based on an approximation of how the region might be distributed in a 3D volume. A virtual camera flies through this synthesised space to create a 3D effect. 📸:: Hubble Space Telescope Read More:[https://esahubble.org/videos/heic1007d/](https://esahubble.org/videos/heic1007d/)   #astronomer #astronomy #space #science #universe #movie #cosmos #astrophysics #galaxy #cosmology #stars #scene #hubble #moon #wormhole #astronaut #astronomyphotography #deepspace #spacex #telescope #blackhole #nebula #constellation #deepsky #spacetime #astronomia #spacetravel #interstellar #stars #interstellar

G299 is the remnant of a Type Ia supernova explosion that happened thousands of years ago. Located somewhat close by, only about 16,000 light-years from Earth, this expanding debris field is more than 60 light-years across.
