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.


Панорама места посадки Аполлона-11 Apollo 11 Landing Panorama
19.07.2024

Have you seen a panorama from another world lately? Assembled from high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility.


Противосумеречные лучи и фестиваль планет Anticrepuscular Rays at the Planet Festival
18.07.2024

For some, these subtle bands of light and shadow stretched across the sky as the Sun set on July 11. Known as anticrepuscular rays, the bands are formed as a large cloud bank near the western horizon cast long shadows through the atmosphere at sunset.


Мессье 24: звездное облако в Стрельце Messier 24: Sagittarius Star Cloud
17.07.2024

Unlike most entries in Charles Messier's famous catalog of deep sky objects, M24 is not a bright galaxy, star cluster, or nebula. It's a gap in nearby, obscuring interstellar dust clouds that allows a view of the distant stars in the Sagittarius spiral arm of our Milky Way galaxy.


Вулкан Вильяррика на фоне неба APOD: 2024 July 17 Б Villarrica Volcano Against the Sky
16.07.2024

When Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, swings his blacksmith's hammer, the sky is lit on fire. A recent eruption of Chile's Villarrica volcano shows the delicate interplay between this fire -- actually...


Кометарные глобулы APOD: 2024 July 16 Б Cometary Globules
15.07.2024

What are these unusual interstellar structures? Bright-rimmed, flowing shapes gather near the center of this rich starfield toward the borders of the nautical southern constellations Pupis and Vela. Composed of interstellar gas and dust, the grouping of light-year sized cometary globules is about 1300 light-years distant.


Галактика Головастик от телескопа им.Хаббла APOD: 2024 July 15 Б The Tadpole Galaxy from Hubble
14.07.2024

Why does this galaxy have such a long tail? In this stunning vista, based on image data from the Hubble Legacy Archive, distant galaxies form a dramatic backdrop for disrupted spiral galaxy Arp 188, the Tadpole Galaxy. The cosmic tadpole is a mere 420 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Dragon (Draco).


Метеор не попадает в галактику APOD: 2024 July 14 Б Meteor Misses Galaxy
13.07.2024

The galaxy was never in danger. For one thing, the Triangulum galaxy (M33), pictured, is much bigger than the tiny grain of rock at the head of the meteor. For another, the galaxy is much farther away -- in this instance 3 million light years as opposed to only about 0.0003 light seconds.


Семейный портрет Солнечной системы Solar System Family Portrait
12.07.2024

In 1990, cruising four billion miles from the Sun, the Voyager 1 spacecraft looked back to make this first ever Solar System family portrait. The complete portrait is a 60 frame mosaic made from a vantage point 32 degrees above the ecliptic plane.
