Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD)

Чикагохендж: равноденствие в упорядоченном городе APOD: 2024 September 22 Б Chicagohenge: Equinox in an Aligned City
21.09.2024

Chicago, in a way, is like a modern Stonehenge. The way is east to west, and the time is today. Today, and every equinox, the Sun will set exactly to the west, everywhere on Earth.


Тени от восходящего Солнца на небе Sunrise Shadows in the Sky
20.09.2024

The defining astronomical moment of this September's equinox is at 12:44 UTC on September 22, when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving south in its yearly journey through planet Earth's sky.


Урожайная Луна в тумане A Hazy Harvest Moon
19.09.2024

For northern hemisphere dwellers, September's Full Moon was the Harvest Moon. On September 17/18 the sunlit lunar nearside passed into shadow, just grazing Earth's umbra, the planet's dark, central shadow cone, in a partial lunar eclipse.


Темный Морской конек в Цефее The Dark Seahorse of Cepheus
18.09.2024

Spanning light-years, this suggestive shape known as the Seahorse Nebula floats in silhouette against a rich, luminous background of stars. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, dark nebula is part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant.


Остаток сверхновой туманность Русалка APOD: 2024 September 18 Б The Mermaid Nebula Supernova Remnant
17.09.2024

New stars are born from the remnants of dead stars. The gaseous remnant of the gravitational collapse and subsequent death of a very massive star in our Milky Way created the G296.5+10.0 supernova remnant, of which the featured Mermaid Nebula is part.


Мелотт 15 в туманности Сердце APOD: 2024 September 17 Б Melotte 15 in the Heart Nebula
16.09.2024

Cosmic clouds form fantastic shapes in the central regions of emission nebula IC 1805. The clouds are sculpted by stellar winds and radiation from massive hot stars in the nebula's newborn star cluster, Melotte 15.


Кратер Вивальди на Меркурии от аппарата "БепиКоломбо" APOD: 2024 September 16 Б Mercurys Vivaldi Crater from BepiColombo
15.09.2024

Why does this large crater on Mercury have two rings and a smooth floor? No one is sure. The unusual feature called Vivaldi Crater spans 215 kilometers and was imaged again in great detail by ESA's and JAXA's robotic BepiColombo spacecraft on a flyby earlier this month.


Найдите человека на Луне APOD: 2024 September 15 Б Find the Man in the Moon
14.09.2024

Have you ever seen the Man in the Moon? This common question plays on the ability of humans to see pareidolia -- imagining familiar icons where they don't actually exist. The textured surface...


"Муна Лиза" The Moona Lisa
13.09.2024

Only natural colors of the Moon in planet Earth's sky appear in this creative visual presentation. Arranged as pixels in a framed image, the lunar disks were photographed at different times. Their varying hues are ultimately due to reflected sunlight affected by changing atmospheric conditions and the alignment geometry of Moon, Earth, and Sun.


Южное полярное сияние и Международная космическая станция Aurora Australis and the International Space Station
12.09.2024

This snapshot from the International Space Station was taken on August 11 while orbiting about 430 kilometers above the Indian Ocean, Southern Hemisphere, planet Earth. The spectacular view looks south and east, down toward the planet's horizon and through red and green curtains of aurora australis.
