Holiday Collection: Cosmic Holiday Greetings From NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory

Four new winter-themed images that contain X-rays from Chandra and data from other telescopes have been released. 🔭🧪

chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2025/h...
Four colorful composite images, each evoking an aspect of winter and the holiday season. The first image, at upper left, features a pair of colliding galaxies that resembles a snowman in optical light from Hubble when oriented vertically. The two galaxies, NGC 4782 and NGC 4783, appear as hazy white balls with solid white cores. Linking the two galaxies is a bridge of hot gas in X-ray light from Chandra depicted here as a string of fuzzy neon purple balls. The string of gas loosely zigzags back and forth between the two galaxies, like a cozy scarf worn by a snowman. The second image, at upper right, strongly resembles a golden Christmas tree bedecked with twinkling lights. The tree is actually NGC 2264, a relatively young nebula where new stars are forming. The tree's branches, which sweep back and forth in a roughly conical shape, are golden clouds of dust and gas, all from optical light captured by an astrophotographer. Tucked into these branches are colorful lights and glowing baubles in X-rays from Chandra and XMM-Newton; baby stars growing inside the nebula. At lower left is a winter scene fit for a holiday greeting card. Above what appears to be a fantastical snowy mountainscape, is a brilliant blue sky packed with colorful lights. The golden mountainscape is in fact part of the nebula NGC 6357, as captured by JWST. The green, red, and golden lights in the blue sky above are bursts of high-energy X-rays from active stars, detected by Chandra. The last image at lower right is a nebula which calls to mind the first gift in the Christmas carol 'The Twelve Days of Christmas'. Here, the wispy burnt orange nebula, M78, forms a tree, with a vertical trunk near the center of the image in infrared and optical light from Euclid. The tree's bushy branches reach toward our upper left, and its tail of roots drifts toward our lower right.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and magical Winter Solstice. I wrote this article a couple of years ago. ‘On Time for Eco’ has been published now and is available on Amazon. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

The northern solstice on 21/22 December is our chance to celebrate the start of our annual journey back from the darkness into the light

Happy Winter Solstice! Some long exposure pics from a luminary walk at a Solstice festival last night, a path of total darkness lit only by candles guiding us to the light at the end. iO loved it of course bc it was like a haunted house.

May the dark of night signal brighter times ahead for us all.
Tea lights in bags on the ground mark the pathway through an otherwise pitch black forest. The light in the sky is created by the camera's long exposure, to the naked eye it was much darker. My wife and son embarking on the beginning of the luminary walk. Our 3 year old son looking down at one of the lights on the path. Abstract art created by attempting to take a long exposure photo while a 3 year old grabs you and shouts "AAAA IT'S A GHOST IT'S A GHOST" repeatedly because he wants the solemn reflective night walk to be a haunted house.

First page of Tom Truszkowski's 'The Secret of the Haunted Art Museum'. A ghost stands next to the title and says 'Boo.'. Then we see the ghost looking at a painting of trees, the tag reading 'Art by Artist'. The ghost looks at a piece of ceramic, then at a strange piece of art that towers over it. The ghost pauses and asks 'Okay, I don't get it... What is the secret?' The art on the walls morphs to say 'The museum isn't relly haunted! The art is'.

"Chariot of the Sun" painted on the ceiling of the Camera del Sole e della Luna in 1526, by Giulio Romano, at the Palazzo Te, Mantua, Italy
A painting on a ceiling, showing what you'd see if you were looking up at the sun god driving his chariot across the sky. Turns out Apollo doesn't wear underwear!

9 new butterflies discovered in old museum archives
When you think of butterflies, chances are you imagine unmistakable insects with bright, bold wings. But it turns out that individual butterfly species are sometimes shockingly difficult to tell apart....

Today is the winter solstice, the traditional start of Christmas (Joulu) in Finland. These gingerbread biscuits illustrate the development of a plant seed
#ArtAdventCalendar #SciArt 🌱
Six round-ish gingerbread biscuits with schematic plant seed development drawn with white, green, light brown, and black icing. On the right there's a biscuit in the shape of a young seedling with two cotyledons (embryonic leaves), hypocotyl (stem), and roots. The ovule (part of the flower containing female reproductive cells) contains a fertilized egg. Initial cell divisions establish embryo polarity, i.e. where the shoot and root will be. Later the cotyledons (embryonic leaves) become visible. The embryo grows, supported by nutrients in the surrounding endosperm tissue. The development of the embryo is arrested inside the seed until external conditions enable germination and growth of a new plant.
