Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth. It is also a Seyfert II galaxy, which means that due to x-rays and unusual emission lines detected, it is suspected that part of the galaxy is falling into a supermassive black hole in the center.

Cassiopeia, Milky Ways Youngest Supernova Guitar Pick
tagged with: star galaxies, outer space picture, supernova explosion, supernovae remnant, milky way youngest supernova, neutron star, deep space astronomy, cassiopeia, cosmic ray, hrbstslr cassasn, space photography, supernovae blasts
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series: This extraordinarily deep Chandra image shows Cassiopeia A (Cas A, for short), the youngest supernova remnant in the Milky Way. New analysis shows that this supernova remnant acts like a relativistic pinball machine by accelerating electrons to enormous energies. The blue, wispy arcs in the image show where the acceleration is taking place in an expanding shock wave generated by the explosion. The red and green regions show material from the destroyed star that has been heated to millions of degrees by the explosion.

Desiderata quote - Crab Pulsar, Neutron Star Poster
tagged with: stars, galaxies, outer space, gallery poster prints, crab pulsar, time lapse astronomy, neutron star, matter and antimatter, crbplsr wallart, desiderata quote, near light speed, hrbstslr crbplsr wallart
A quote from Desiderata by Max Ehrmann: And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should... to go with this amazing image from deep space. Multiple observations made over several months with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope captured the spectacle of matter and antimatter propelled to near the speed of light by the Crab pulsar, a rapidly rotating neutron star the size of Manhattan.
