Astronomy Picture Of the Day (APOD)

Луна встречается со звездами-сестрами APOD: 2025 April 8 Б Moon Visits Sister Stars
8.04.2025

Sometimes, the Moon visits the Pleiades. Technically, this means that the orbit of our Moon takes it directly in front of the famous Pleiades star cluster, which is far in the distance. The technical...


NGC 4414: флоккулентная спиральная галактика APOD: 2025 April 7 Б NGC 4414: A Flocculent Spiral Galaxy
7.04.2025

How much mass do flocculent spirals hide? The featured image of flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 4414 was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope to help answer this question. Flocculent spirals -- galaxies without well-defined spiral arms -- are a quite common form of galaxy, and NGC 4414 is one of the closest.


Неожиданно частые лунотрясения APOD: 2025 April 6 Б Moonquakes Surprisingly Common
6.04.2025

Why are there so many moonquakes? Analyses of seismometers left on the moon during the Apollo moon landings reveal a surprising number of moonquakes occurring within 100 kilometers of the surface. In fact, 62 moonquakes were detected in data recorded between 1972 and 1977.


Затмение и горгульи A Gargoyles Eclipse
5.04.2025

In dramatic silhouette against a cloudy daytime sky over Paris, France, gargoyles cast their monstrous gaze outward from the west facade of Notre Dame Cathedral. Taken on March 29, this telephoto snapshot also captures the dramatic silhouette of a New Moon against the bright solar disk in a partial solar eclipse.


Хиксон 44 во Льве Hickson 44 in Leo
4.04.2025

Scanning the skies for galaxies, Canadian astronomer Paul Hickson and colleagues identified some 100 compact groups of galaxies, now appropriately called Hickson Compact Groups. The four prominent galaxies seen in this intriguing telescopic skyscape are one such group, Hickson 44.


Свет да Винчи The Da Vinci Glow
3.04.2025

A 26 hour old Moon poses behind the craggy outline of the Italian Dolomites in this twilight mountain and skyscape. The one second long exposure was captured near moonset on March 30. And while...


Юпитер и его кольцо в инфракрасном свете от телескопа "Джеймс Вебб" APOD: 2025 April 2 Б Jupiter and Ring in Infrared from Webb
2.04.2025

Why does Jupiter have rings? Jupiter's main ring was discovered in 1979 by NASA's passing Voyager 1 spacecraft, but its origin was then a mystery. Data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft that...


Двойной восход Солнца во время частного затмения APOD: 2025 April 1 Б A Double Sunrise from a Partial Eclipse
1.04.2025

Can the Sun appear to rise twice at the same time? This was just the case a few days ago from Les Escoumins, Quebec, Canada as our Solar System's bright central orb rose just as it was being partially eclipsed by the Moon.


Вид на Солнечную систему от зонда "Паркер" APOD: 2025 March 31 Б Parker: The Solar System from Near the Sun
31.03.2025

If you watch long enough, a comet will appear. Before then, you will see our Solar System from inside the orbit of Mercury as recorded by NASA's Parker Solar Probe looping around the Sun.


Частное солнечное затмение над Исландией APOD: 2025 March 30 Б A Partial Solar Eclipse over Iceland
30.03.2025

What if the Sun and Moon rose together? That happened yesterday over some northern parts of planet Earth as a partial solar eclipse occurred shortly after sunrise. Regions that experienced the Moon blocking part of the Sun included northeastern parts of North America and northwestern parts of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
