Остаток сверхновой Симеиз 147 APOD: 2024 February 27 Б Supernova Remnant Simeis 147
26.02.2024

It's easy to get lost following the intricate, looping, and twisting filaments of supernova remnant Simeis 147. Also cataloged as Sharpless 2-240, the filamentary nebula goes by the popular nickname the Spaghetti Nebula.


Спутник Марса затмевает спутник Марса APOD: 2024 February 26 Б Martian Moon Eclipses Martian Moon
25.02.2024

What if there were two moons in the sky -- and they eclipsed each other? This happens on Mars. The featured video shows a version of this unusual eclipse from space. Pictured are the two moons of Mars: the larger Phobos, which orbits closer to the red planet, and the smaller Deimos, which orbits further out.


Северное сияние – "феникс" над Исландией APOD: 2024 February 25 Б A Phoenix Aurora over Iceland
24.02.2024

All of the other aurora watchers had gone home. By 3:30 am in Iceland, on a quiet September night, much of that night's auroras had died down. Suddenly, unexpectedly, a new burst of particles streamed down from space, lighting up the Earth's atmosphere once again.


На Луну To the Moon
23.02.2024

Intuitive Machines' robotic lander Odysseus has accomplished the first U.S. landing on the Moon since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. Launched on a SpaceX rocket on February 15, the phone booth sized lander reached lunar orbit on the 21st and touched down on the lunar surface at 6:23 pm ET on February 22nd.


Ударная волна от сверхновой в туманности Карандаш The Pencil Nebula Supernova Shock Wave
22.02.2024

This supernova shock wave plows through interstellar space at over 500,000 kilometers per hour. Centered and moving upward in the sharply detailed color composite its thin, bright, braided filaments are actually long ripples in a cosmic sheet of glowing gas seen almost edge-on.


Вид на M106 A View Toward M106
21.02.2024

Big, bright, beautiful spiral, Messier 106 dominates this cosmic vista. The nearly two degree wide telescopic field of view looks toward the well-trained constellation Canes Venatici, near the handle of the Big Dipper. Also...


Туманность Чайка над скалой Пиннаклс APOD: 2024 February 21 Б Seagull Nebula over Pinnacles Peak
20.02.2024

The bird is bigger than the peak. Nicknamed for its avian shape, the Seagull Nebula is an emission nebula on the night sky that is vast, spanning an angle over five times the diameter of the full moon and over 200 light years.


AM1054: формирование звезд при столкновении галактик APOD: 2024 February 20 Б AM1054: Stars Form as Galaxies Collide
19.02.2024

When galaxies collide, how many stars are born? For AM1054-325, featured here in a recently released image by the Hubble Space Telescope, the answer is millions. Instead of stars being destroyed as galaxy AM1054-325 and a nearby galaxy circle each other, their gravity and motion has ignited stellar creation.


Смотря в сторону с солнечного зонда "Паркер" APOD: 2024 February 19 Б Looking Sideways from the Parker Solar Probe
18.02.2024

What's happening near the Sun? To help find out, NASA launched the robotic Parker Solar Probe (PSP) to investigate regions closer to the Sun than ever before. The PSP's looping orbit brings it nearer to the Sun each time around -- every few months.


Объект Хоага: почти идеальная кольцеобразная галактика APOD: 2024 February 18 Б Hoags Object: A Nearly Perfect Ring Galaxy
17.02.2024

Is this one galaxy or two? This question came to light in 1950 when astronomer Arthur Hoag chanced upon this unusual extragalactic object. On the outside is a ring dominated by bright blue stars, while near the center lies a ball of much redder stars that are likely much older.
