Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD)

NGC 6995: туманность Летучая Мышь APOD: 2024 September 4 Б NGC 6995: The Bat Nebula
3.09.2024

Can you see the bat? It haunts this cosmic close-up of the eastern Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant, the expanding debris cloud from the death explosion of a massive star.


Луна в последней четверти и звезды-сестры APOD: 2024 September 3 Б Quarter Moon and Sister Stars
2.09.2024

Nine days ago, two quite different sky icons were imaged rising together. Specifically, Earth's Moon shared the eastern sky with the sister stars of the Pleiades cluster, as viewed from Alberta, Canada. Astronomical...


Треугольный протуберанец над Солнцем APOD: 2024 September 2 Б A Triangular Prominence Hovers Over the Sun
1.09.2024

Why is there a triangle hovering over the Sun? Although the shape is unusual, the type of structure is not: it is part of an evolving solar prominence. Looping magnetic fields on the Sun channel the flow of energetic particles, sometimes holding glowing gaseous structures aloft for months.


Луна, похожая на Сатурн APOD: 2024 September 1 Б The Moon Dressed Like Saturn
31.08.2024

Why does Saturn appear so big? It doesn't -- what is pictured are foreground clouds on Earth crossing in front of the Moon. The Moon shows a slight crescent phase with most of its surface visible by reflected Earthlight, known as Da Vinci glow.


Туманности на высокой галактической широте и группа NGC 7771 IFN and the NGC 7771 Group
30.08.2024

Galaxies of the NGC 7771 Group are featured in this intriguing skyscape. Some 200 million light-years distant toward the constellation Pegasus, NGC 7771 is the large, edge-on spiral near center, about 75,000 light-years across, with two smaller galaxies below it. Large spiral NGC 7769 is seen face-on to the right.


Южный лунный пейзаж Southern Moonscape
29.08.2024

The Moon's south pole is toward the top left of this detailed telescopic moonscape. Captured on August 23, it looks across the rugged southern lunar highlands. The view's foreshortened perspective heightens the impression of a dense field of craters and makes the craters themselves appear more oval shaped close to the lunar limb.


Звездная фабрика Мессье 17 Star Factory Messier 17
28.08.2024

A nearby star factory known as Messier 17 lies some 5,500 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation Sagittarius. At that distance, this 1.5 degree wide field-of-view would span about 150 light-years.


Туманность Тюльпан и черная дыра Лебедь X-1 APOD: 2024 August 28 Б Tulip Nebula and Black Hole Cygnus X 1
27.08.2024

When can you see a black hole, a tulip, and a swan all at once? At night -- if the timing is right, and if your telescope is pointed in the right direction. The complex and beautiful Tulip Nebula blossoms about 8,000 light-years away toward the constellation of Cygnus the Swan.


Луна затмевает Сатурн APOD: 2024 August 27 Б Moon Eclipses Saturn
26.08.2024

What if Saturn disappeared? Sometimes, it does. It doesn't really go away, though, it just disappears from view when our Moon moves in front. Such a Saturnian eclipse, more formally called an occultation, was visible along a long swath of Earth -- from Peru, across the Atlantic Ocean, to Italy -- only a few days ago.


Персеиды над Внутренней Монголией APOD: 2024 August 26 Б Perseid Meteors Over Inner Mongolia
25.08.2024

Did you see it? One of the more common questions during a meteor shower occurs because the time it takes for a meteor to flash is similar to the time it takes for a head to turn.
