Туманность Чайка The Seagull Nebula
19.01.2023

A broad expanse of glowing gas and dust presents a bird-like visage to astronomers from planet Earth, suggesting its popular moniker - The Seagull Nebula. Using narrowband image data, this 3-panel mosaic of the cosmic...


MACS0647: гравитационное линзирование в ранней Вселенной от телескопа "Джеймс Вебб" APOD: 2023 January 18 Б MACS0647: Gravitational Lensing of the Early Universe by Webb
18.01.2023

Gravitational lensing by the galaxy cluster MACS0647 -- in which the massive foreground cluster distorts and lenses the light emitted by distant background galaxies along the line of sight Б is on vivid display here in this recent multi-color infrared image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).


Неожиданные облака в направлении на галактику Андромеды APOD: 2023 January 17 Б Unexpected Clouds Toward the Andromeda Galaxy
17.01.2023

Why are there oxygen-emitting arcs near the direction of the Andromeda galaxy? No one is sure. The gas arcs, shown in blue, were discovered and first confirmed by amateur astronomers just last year.


Цветная Луна APOD: 2023 January 16 Б Moon Enhanced
16.01.2023

Our Moon doesn't really look like this. Earth's Moon, Luna, doesn't naturally show this rich texture, and its colors are more subtle. But this digital creation is based on reality. The featured image is a composite of multiple images and enhanced to bring up real surface features.


M1: Крабовидная туманность от телескопа им.Хаббла APOD: 2023 January 15 Б M1: The Crab Nebula from Hubble
15.01.2023

This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments. The filaments are not only tremendously...


Перигелий 2023 года и Солнце Perihelion Sun 2023
14.01.2023

Perihelion for 2023, Earth's closest approach to the Sun, was on January 4 at 16:17 UTC. That was less than 24 hours after this sharp image of the Sun's disk was recorded with telescope and H-alpha filter from Sidney, Australia, planet Earth.


Молодое звездное скопление NGC 346 Young Star Cluster NGC 346
13.01.2023

The most massive young star cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud is NGC 346, embedded in our small satellite galaxy's largest star forming region some 210,000 light-years distant. Of course the massive stars of NGC 346 are short lived, but very energetic.


Звездная пыль в Персее Stardust in Perseus
12.01.2023

This cosmic expanse of dust, gas, and stars covers some 6 degrees on the sky in the heroic constellation Perseus. At upper left in the gorgeous skyscape is the intriguing young star cluster IC 348 and neighboring Flying Ghost Nebula with clouds of obscuring interstellar dust cataloged as Barnard 3 and 4.


Спиральное северное сияние над Исландией APOD: 2023 January 11 Б Spiral Aurora over Iceland
11.01.2023

The scene may look like a fantasy, but it's really Iceland. The rock arch is named Gatklettur and located on the island's northwest coast. Some of the larger rocks in the foreground span a meter across. The fog over the rocks is really moving waves averaged over long exposures.


NGC 2264: туманность Конус APOD: 2023 January 10 Б NGC 2264: The Cone Nebula
10.01.2023

Stars are forming in the gigantic dust pillar called the Cone Nebula. Cones, pillars, and majestic flowing shapes abound in stellar nurseries where clouds of gas and dust are sculpted by energetic winds from newborn stars. The Cone Nebula, a well-known example, lies within the bright galactic star-forming region NGC 2264.
