Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD)

Галактика Большое Магелланово Облако APOD: 2024 October 2 Б The Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy
1.10.2024

It is the largest satellite galaxy of our home Milky Way Galaxy. If you live in the south, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is quite noticeable, spanning about 10 degrees across the night sky, which is 20 times larger than the full moon towards the southern constellation of the dolphinfish (Dorado).


Порфирион: самый длинный джет от черной дыры APOD: 2024 October 1 Б Porphyrion: The Longest Known Black Hole Jets
30.09.2024

How far can black hole jets extend? A new record was found just recently with the discovery of a 23-million light-year long jet pair from a black hole active billions of years ago. Dubbed...


Комета Цзыцзиньшань-ATLAS над Мексикой APOD: 2024 September 30 Б Comet Tsuchinshan ATLAS over Mexico
29.09.2024

The new comet has passed its closest to the Sun and is now moving closer to the Earth. C/2023 A3 (TsuchinshanБATLAS) is currently moving out from inside the orbit of Venus and on track to pass its nearest to the Earth in about two weeks.


Семь Сестер в пыли APOD: 2024 September 29 Б Seven Dusty Sisters
28.09.2024

Is this really the famous Pleiades star cluster? Known for its iconic blue stars, the Pleiades is shown here in infrared light where the surrounding dust outshines the stars. Here, three infrared colors have been mapped into visual colors (R=24, G=12, B=4.6 microns).


Затмение ракетой на закате Rocket Eclipse at Sunset
27.09.2024

Shockwaves ripple across the glare as a launch eclipses the setting Sun in this exciting close-up. Captured on September 17, the roaring Falcon 9 rocket carried European Galileo L13 navigation satellites to medium Earth orbit after a lift-off from Cape Canaveral on Florida's space coast.


Звездные потоки в местной Вселенной Stellar Streams in the Local Universe
26.09.2024

The twenty galaxies arrayed in these panels are part of an ambitious astronomical survey of tidal stellar streams. Each panel presents a composite view; a deep, inverted image taken from publicly available imaging surveys of a field that surrounds a nearby massive galaxy image.


Огромное шаровое скопление в Геркулесе The Great Globular Cluster in Hercules
25.09.2024

In 1716, English astronomer Edmond Halley noted, "This is but a little Patch, but it shows itself to the naked Eye, when the Sky is serene and the Moon absent." Of course...


Комета A3 над Австралией на рассвете APOD: 2024 September 25 Б Comet A3 Through an Australian Sunrise
24.09.2024

Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS is now visible in the early morning sky. Diving into the inner Solar System at an odd angle, this large dirty iceberg will pass its closest to the Sun -- between the orbits of Mercury and Venus -- in just two days.


NGC 6727: туманность Буйный Павиан APOD: 2024 September 24 Б NGC 6727: The Rampaging Baboon Nebula
23.09.2024

This dusty region is forming stars. Part of a sprawling molecular cloud complex that resembles, to some, a rampaging baboon, the region is a relatively close by 500 light-years away toward the constellation Corona Australis. That's about one third the distance of the more famous stellar nursery known as the Orion Nebula.


Комета Цзыцзиньшань-ATLAS приближается APOD: 2024 September 23 Б Comet Tsuchinshan ATLAS Approaches
22.09.2024

What will happen as this already bright comet approaches? Optimistic predictions have Comet C/2023 A3 (TsuchinshanБATLAS) briefly becoming easily visible to the unaided eye -- although the future brightness of comets are notoriously hard to predict, and this comet may even break up in warming sunlight.
