Interacting Galaxies Arp 299 - Interacting galaxies Arp 299 - The particular galaxy Arp 299 is located about 150 million light years away from Earth in the constellation of the Great Bear. Composed of galaxies IC 694 and NGC 3690, this interacting system presents important star formations. Astronomers also observed the appearance of several supernovae. Arp 299 is an ultra-aluminous infrared galaxy. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope on 18 March 2002. This system consists of a pair of galaxies, dubbed IC 694 and NGC 3690, which made a close pass some 700 million years ago. As a result of this interaction, the system underwent a fierce burst of star formation. In the last fifteen years or so six supernovae have popped off in the outer reaches of the galaxy, making this system a distinguished supernova factory. Arp 299 belongs to the family of ultra - luminous infrared galaxies and is located in the constellation of Ursa Major, the Great Bear, approximately 150 million light - y

Galaxy NGC 1427A in the Furnace - The irregular galaxy NGC 1427A in Fornax - The galaxy NGC 1427A is located in the Furnace cluster about 62 million years ago - light from Earth. It is an irregular galaxy populated with young clusters of blue stars and many star-forming regions. Further away, other galaxies are visible in the background. The irregular galaxy NGC 1427A is a small bluish galaxy plunging headlong into the Fornax galaxy group at 600 kilometers per second or nearly 400 miles per second. NGC 1427A, which is located some 62 million light - years away from Earth in the direction of the constellation Fornax, shows numerous hot, blue stars in this image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope. These blue stars have been formed very recently, showing that star formation is occurring extensively throughout the galaxy. NGC 1427A will not survive long as an identifiable galaxy passing through the cluster. Within the next billion years, it will be completely disrupted, spilling its st

Bok's cells in NGC 281 (Cassiopee) - Bok globules in NGC 281 - View of a detail of the nebula NGC 281 in Cassiopee center on Bok's Globules. A Bok's blood cell is a dark interstellar cloud of gases and dust that absorb light. If it condenses enough, it gives birth to new stars. Near these blood cells shine blue stars; they belong to the young cluster of stars IC 1590. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in October 2005. These opaque, dark knots of gas and dust are called “” Bok globules,””” and they are absorbing light in the center of the nearby emission nebula and star - forming region. Bok hypothesized that giant molecular clouds, on the order of hundreds of light - years in size, can become perturbed and form small pockets where the dust and gas are highly concentrated. These small pockets become gravitationally bound and accumulate dust and gas from the surrounding area. If they can capture enough mass, they have the potential of creating stars in their cores; however, no

M87 elliptical galaxy in Virgo - M87 elliptical galaxy in Virgo - The M87 galaxy (NGC 4486) is 54 million years ago - light from Earth, in the heart of the Virgin's cluster. This image is a composite obtained in X-rays, radio and visible. Gas material is ejected from the heart of the galaxy. A supermassive black hole would have caused this jet. This image is a composite of visible (or optical), radio, and X - ray data of the giant elliptical galaxy, M87. M87 lies at a distance of 54 million light years and is the largest galaxy in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. Bright jets moving at close to the speed of light are seen at all wavelengths coming from the massive black hole at the center of the galaxy. It has also been identified with the strong radio source, Virgo A, and is a powerful source of X - rays as it resides near the center of a hot, X - ray emitting cloud that extends over much of the Virgo cluster.

Earth seen by satellite - Earth seen by satellite - Mosaic of Earth images obtained by the Suomi NPP satellite in April 2015. On the right, cyclone Joalane passes over the Indian Ocean. This natural - color composite image of Earth was assembled from data acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi National Polar - orbiting Partnership (Suomi - NPP) spacecraft. It stitches together 671, 551, and 443 nanometer wavelength data from six orbits on April 9, 2015. Suomi NPP does not actually observe Earth from the perspective shown in this image. The satellite flies in a polar orbit at an altitude of 824 kilometers (512 miles), and its images have a resolution of 750 meters per pixel. In the image, the virtual camera looks down from the perspective of 8,300 kilometers (5,100 miles) above a point at 50 degrees South latitude and 40 degrees East longitude. Most of the scene is filled by the Indian Ocean (center and left), while parcels of the Atlantic (top le

Dunes near the north pole on Mars - Dunes at North Polar Cap on Mars: Image obtained on March 26, 2014 by the HIRISE camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance orbiter probe. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. Formative down-slope winds descending on Mars' North Polar ice cap likely play an important role in transporting sediment from the base of the ice cap into the dune fields that sit beyond the ice cap. The deep chasm that formed on the polar cap edge is identified as an area of strong down-slope winds and has a clear connection to Mars' largest dune field, Olympia Undae. Repeat HiRise images from this chasm that specifically targets the dunes, provides the basis to evaluate the sand fluxes which are associated with the dune and ripple movement in this area

Martian dunes in winter - March: Winter view of Dunes - Detail on dunes in a crater located in the southern hemisphere of Mars. Clearly, areas covered with gel appear on this image obtained by the HIRISE camera of the Mars Reconnaissance probe orbiter on November 25, 2006. HIRISE is a 50 cm telescope that observes visible and near infrared. Dunes within a crater on Mars are visible in this HiRise image. This crater is located in the southern hemisphere where it was winter at the time this image was taken on November 25, 2006. This observation documents new seasonal processes occurring on dunes at this latitude, as well as other interesting phenomena. The bright tones are interpreted as carbon dioxide or water frost. This is generally concentrated on the east - facing slopes of the dunes, which are in shadow and therefore cooler. Some dark spots on the dunes may be areas that have defrosted more than surrounding terrain. Landslides and dark - toned streaks are seen on many of the west -

Nebula Sh2 - 106 in the Swan - Sh2 - 106 nebula in Cygnus - Sharpless 106 (Sh2 - 106) is a star-forming region in the constellation Swan. Image obtained by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Subaru Telescope. The bipolar star - forming region, called Sharpless 2 - 106, or S106 for short, looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. The outstretched “” wings”” of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium. Twin lobes of super - hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the “” wings”” of our angel. A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an “” hourglass””” shape. This composite image combines optical and near - infrared astronomical data from the Hubble Space Telescope with mid - infrared data from the ground - based Subaru Telescope, located on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The Hubble data (H - alpha, J, and H) were taken as part of H

Ancient channels on Mars - Ancient channels on planet Mars. Ares Vallis - View of the area of Ares Vallis and Tiu Vallis obtained by the probe 2001 Mars Odyssey. This region seems to have been shaped by the passage of water. Channels scoured by ancient outbursts of flood waters are seen in this orbital view from Odyssey's Thermal Emission Imaging System.The channels are billions of years old and have likely been affected by multiple processes over time. Here, two channels, Tiu Vallis on the left and Ares Vallis on the right, flow northward from the highlands of the southern hemisphere of Mars.The stark difference between today's cold, dry Mars and the evidence of flood waters in the past tells scientists that the Martian climate has seen great changes

The bright crater in the middle of the picture down is the Kuiper crater. The large striations north and east of the crater are observed for the first time by a space probe. Recolorised image. The spectacular image shows the departing planet taken about 90 minutes after the spacecraft's closest approach to Mercury on October 6, 2008. The bright crater just south of the center of the image is Kuiper, identified on images from the Mariner 10 mission in the 1970s. For most of the terrain east of Kuiper, toward the limb (edge) of the planet, the departing images are the first spacecraft views of that portion of Mercury's surface. A striking characteristic of this newly imaged area is the large pattern of rays that extend from the northern region of Mercury to regions south of Kuiper. This extensive ray system appears to emanate from a relatively

Glaciers under Martian crateres - Buried glaciers on Mars - Computer reconstructed views of three Martian crateres in the Hellas region that house glaciers. The images show the crateres as they appear today with a layer of Martian soil covering the ice with water and, on the right, the glaciers updated according to radar measurements obtained by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter probe (MRO). These glaciers would have a thickness of 250 to 450 meters. Each image covers 20 km wide. This computer graphic image shows three craters in the eastern Hellas region of Mars containing concealed glaciers detected by radar. The images shows how the surface looks today with the ice covered with a layer of Martian soil and what the ice may look like underneath. The image was created using image data from the Context Camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft combined with results from the SHARAD radar sounder on MRO and HRSC digital elevation map from the Mars Express spacecraft.
