Awww, every time I see an image from #Hubble now, the first thing I think is, "Aw, bless."

(As opposed to #JWST, at which I often goggle in utter amazement.)

All joking aside, they've both been great advances for humanity and for science.

I'm a big fan of any and all #space news and cool space photos, but still, since the JWST went up, it really has been knocking my socks off!

Hubble image of Arp 188, also known as the Tadpole Galaxy.

Seen shining through the Tadpole's disk, a tiny blue intruder galaxy likely caused the Tadpole's distorted shape. Gravitational interactions created the long tail of debris, stars and gas that stretch out more than 280,000 light-years.

In the upper left corner is a spiral galaxy with a bright white central core encircled by two wispy arms that form a loose spiral around the core. The view is somewhat oblique, giving the galaxy an oval appearance. A long, thin, diffuse stream of stars and gas extends from the lower right side of the galaxy down to the lower right corner of the image. The spiral arms and the tail are dotted with blue stars. Scattered across the background there are hundreds tiny smudges of light that vary slightly in size, shape, and color. Most appear in the shape of small dots, ovals, or lines. They come in different shades of white, orange, red, and blue.

Hubble image of Arp 107, also known as UGC 5984.

The one-armed spiral and its smaller elliptical companion galaxy are gravitationally interacting with one another, which is likely responsible for the spiral galaxy's unusual shape, as well as the bridge of gas and stars that connects the two galaxies.

A pair of merging galaxies. The galaxy on the left has a single, large spiral arm curving out from the core and around to below it, with very visible glowing dust and gas. The right-hand galaxy has a bright core but only a bit of very faint material. A broad curtain of gas connects the two galaxies’ cores and hangs beneath them. A few small stars and galaxies are scattered around the black background.

JWST and Hubble image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg.

In Hubble’s visible light view (left), a dark dust lane begins across the Penguin’s beak and extends through its body. In JWST’s near-infrared view (right), the dust is much fainter. A bridge of stars and gas connects the galaxies in the JWST image, and there is a gap with Hubble.

Frame is split down the middle: Hubble’s visible light image at left, and Webb’s near-infrared image at right. Both show the Egg at left and the Penguin at right. In Hubble’s view, the Penguin is highly detailed, with a bright blue beak, body, and tail that is covered in an arc of bright brown dust. The Egg, to its left, appears bright, gleaming yellowish white. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, about as long as the Egg’s height. Dozens of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Webb’s near-infrared image shows the Penguin’s beak, head, and back in shades of pink. It’s tail-like region is more diffuse, and a mix of lighter pinks and blues. The Egg appears slightly larger in blue layers. A semi-transparent blue forms an upside down U over top of both galaxies. At top right, an edge-on galaxy has many more pinpricks of light, which are stars. Thousands of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Some galaxies are shades of orange, while others are white.

Starry Time Podcast

Perhaps a little understated compared to other #astrophotography in the #constellation Centaurus, but I liked this one!

This is NGC 4696 as imaged by the #hubble space telescope

You can learn all about the #constellation #Centaurus in our latest #podcast here: starrytimepodcast.podbean.com/

Image of NGC 4696 taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The center of the image is bright and surrounded by dusty filaments in dark red, black, and brown, in a swirling pattern. The background of the image is black, and there are other stars scattered throughout the image.

[#SonEtLumière cosmologique ✨ 🎧 ] Grâce au sondage #HUDF effectué par le télescope spatial #Hubble en 2003-2004, notre ciel profond est apparu constellé de milliers de #galaxies lointaines et peu lumineuses. L'une des images obtenues a été sonifiée, de sorte que la fréquence de l'onde sonore associée à chaque galaxie témoigne de son #redshift, ou décalage vers le rouge : apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250302.ht

Parviendrez-vous à découvrir la galaxie la plus éloignée de l'image - celle dont la fréquence sonore associée est la plus basse ?
