This infrared image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.

The first photo of the Andromeda galaxy was taken by astronomer Isaac Roberts #OTD in 1888.
The image, captured with his 20" reflector, revealed a clear spiral structure. But scientists at the time thought M31 was a nebula, a gas cloud in our galaxy. 🧪 🔭

Dennis Overbye, the longtime cosmic affairs correspondent (what a beat!) for the Times, published a farewell essay last week; so many candidates for a #sundaysentence in that piece, but I'll go with this one: "What angels are those, tapping a fandango across the darkness?"

This is my image of SH2-101 the Tulip Nebula, 6,000 light years away, imaged with Atik 383L+ and 190MN over 3 nights, 12 hours total exposure. A really colourful nebula that works well as a narrowband target #astrophotography #space #nebula

40 million light-years away lies this wonderful spiral galaxy, NGC-5643! 🔭
Here are two images I processed thanks to Hubble and JWST/NIRCam data. So many star forming regions can be seen in both wavelengths! ✨

This fantastic image features the California Nebula, an emission nebula also known as NGC 1499.
Located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way, the nebula is about 1,000 light-years away from Earth.

In this X-ray image, the giant elliptical galaxy M87 shows evidence of outbursts from the central supermassive black hole.
The loops and bubbles in the hot, X-ray emitting gas are relics of small outbursts close to the black hole

Behold the cosmic ballet of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, gracefully overlapping in a diagonal embrace to form a luminous mask in the depths of space. 💫🤍💫😲💫🤍💫

Two nights ago, I continued a longer program, collecting more and more light on the Triangulum galaxy M33 with my little #Seestar S50. Here is the current result. A nice, fluffy little galaxy. And my eye was drawn to that little red blob that is visible there on the left. 1/ 🧪🔭

Big, beautiful spiral galaxy NGC 1055 is a dominant member of a small galaxy group a mere 60 million light-years away toward the aquatically intimidating constellation Cetus. Seen edge-on, the island universe spans over 100,000 light-years, a little larger than our own Milky Way galaxy.
