The Rose Galaxies, Arp 273 Postcard
tagged with: star forming activity, awesome astronomy images, new born stars, hot young stars, star nursery, interacting spiral galaxies, breathtaking hubble space photos, rose galaxy, arp 273, hrbstslr trgarp
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An amazing outer space picture featuring two interacting galaxies that together form the shape of a rose. The larger of the spiral galaxies, UGC 1810, has a disk that is twisted by the gravitational pull of its companion galaxy, UGC 1813.
Knots of young, hot blue stars bejewel the spirals arms in glistening starlight while below, its smaller, nearly edge-on companion is going through intense star formation at its centre, perhaps triggered by their encounter.

The Cats Eye Nebula Round Wall Clock
tagged with: nebulae, amazing astronomy images, hubble chandra images, cats eye nebula, stellar evolution, dying star, red giant evolution, outer space pictures, hrbstslr tcenebnch, star galaxies, nasa
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous design featuring a composite image of the Cat's Eye nebula from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope.
This famous nebula represents a phase of stellar evolution after a star like our Sun runs out of fuel. In this phase, a star becomes an expanding red giant and sheds some of its outer layers, eventually leaving behind a hot core that collapses to form a dense white dwarf star. A fast wind emanating from the hot core rams into the ejected atmosphere, pushes it outward, and creates the graceful filamentary structures.

Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A gorgeous picture from the deep universe featuring the bubbling, seething mass of gas and dust that is the Orion Nebula, 1500 light years away and the closest star-forming region to us. The nebula is a star nursery in which there are birthing, new-born, young and adult stars. Look carefully in the brightest central region and you'll see the Trapezium, four of the most massive stars in Orion.

Lagoon Nebula - Our Breathtaking Universe Skate Board
tagged with: hrsktbrd, star nurseries, star clusters, galaxies, starfields, european southern observatory, awesome astronomy images, lagoon nebula, hrbstslr lgnnbl, cosmological, outer space pictures, eso, vista
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series A fantastic outer space picture showing the third image of ESO’s GigaGalaxy Zoom project. It's an amazing vista of the Lagoon Nebula taken with the 67-million-pixel Wide Field Imager attached to the MPG/ESO 2.2-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile.
The image covers more than one and a half square degrees - an area eight times larger than that of the Full Moon. It's based on images acquired using three different broadband filters (B, V, R) and one narrow-band filter (H-alpha).
It's a mind-expanding, wonderful image that reveals a little of the wonder that is our universe.
