Трехраздельная туманность в инфракрасном свете Infrared Trifid
13.01.2005

The Trifid Nebula, aka M20, is easy to find with a small telescope, a well known stop in the nebula rich constellation Sagittarius. But where visible light pictures show the nebula divided into three parts by dark, obscuring dust lanes, this penetrating infrared image reveals filaments of luminous gas and newborn stars.


Спиральная галактика с перемычкой NGC 1300 Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1300

Комета Мачхолц рядом с Плеядами Machholz Meets the Pleiades
11.01.2005

Sweeping northward in planet Earth's sky, comet Machholz extended its long ion tail with the Pleiades star cluster in the background on January 7th. This stunning view, recorded with a telephoto lens in skies over Oberjoch, Bavaria, Germany, emphasizes faint, complex tail structures and the scene's lovely blue and green colors.


Пылевые структуры в туманности Розетка Dust Sculptures in the Rosette Nebula
