Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD)

Арп 142: взаимодействующие галактики от телескопа "Джеймс Вебб" APOD: 2024 July 30 Б Arp 142: Interacting Galaxies from Webb
29.07.2024

To some, it looks like a penguin. But to people who study the universe, it is an interesting example of two big galaxies interacting. Just a few hundred million years ago, the upper NGC 2936 was likely a normal spiral galaxy: spinning, creating stars, and minding its own business.


Млечный Путь над Улуру APOD: 2024 July 29 Б Milky Way over Uluru
28.07.2024

What's happening above Uluru? A United Nations World Heritage Site, Uluru is an extraordinary 350-meter high mountain in central Australia that rises sharply from nearly flat surroundings. Composed of sandstone, Uluru has slowly formed over the past 300 million years as softer rock eroded away.


Солнечный танец APOD: 2024 July 28 Б Sun Dance
27.07.2024

Sometimes, the surface of our Sun seems to dance. In the middle of 2012, for example, NASA's Sun-orbiting Solar Dynamic Observatory spacecraft imaged an impressive prominence that seemed to perform a running dive roll like an acrobatic dancer.


Сатурн у края Луны Saturn at the Moon s Edge
26.07.2024

Saturn now rises before midnight in planet Earth's sky. On July 24, the naked-eye planet was in close conjunction, close on the sky, to a waning gibbous Moon. But from some locations...


Лицом к NGC 6946 Facing NGC 6946
25.07.2024

From our vantage point in the Milky Way Galaxy, we see NGC 6946 face-on. The big, beautiful spiral galaxy is located just 20 million light-years away, behind a veil of foreground dust and stars in the high and far-off constellation Cepheus.


NGC 7023: туманность Ирис NGC 7023: The Iris Nebula
24.07.2024

These cosmic clouds have blossomed 1,300 light-years away in the fertile starfields of the constellation Cepheus. Called the Iris Nebula, NGC 7023 is not the only nebula to evoke the imagery of flowers.


Преувеличенная Луна APOD: 2024 July 24 Б Exaggerated Moon
23.07.2024

Our Moon doesn't really have craters this big. Earth's Moon, Luna, also doesn't naturally show this spikey texture, and its colors are more subtle. But this digital creation is based on reality.


Крабовидная туманность от видимого света до рентгеновских лучей APOD: 2024 July 23 Б The Crab Nebula from Visible to X Ray
22.07.2024

What powers the Crab Nebula? A city-sized magnetized neutron star spinning around 30 times a second. Known as the Crab Pulsar, it is the bright spot in the center of the gaseous swirl at the nebula's core.


Темные туманности в Хамелеоне APOD: 2024 July 22 Б Chamaeleon Dark Nebulas
21.07.2024

Sometimes the dark dust of interstellar space has an angular elegance. Such is the case toward the far-south constellation of Chamaeleon. Normally too faint to see, dark dust is best known for blocking visible light from stars and galaxies behind it.


Скалистый навес "Король крыльев" под Млечным Путем APOD: 2024 July 21 Б King of Wings Hoodoo under the Milky Way
20.07.2024

This rock structure is not only surreal -- it's real. Perhaps the reason it's not more famous is that it is smaller than one might guess: the capstone rock overhangs only a few meters.
