Iconic Pillars of Creation.
MIRI + NIRCam composite image.
🔭 🧪

Semi-opaque layers of blue, purple, and grey gas and dust start at the bottom left and rise toward the top right. There are three prominent pillars. The left pillar is the largest and widest. The background is orange near the top and dark blue and purple near the bottom. Some blue and white stars dot the overall scene.

A cosmic ocean of glowing hydrogen gas, along with small amounts of other elements such as oxygen and sulphur.

Known as M17 (or the Swan or Omega Nebula), this star forming region resides 5,500 light-years from Earth.

The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) has unveiled the majestic spiral galaxy NGC 3627 in exquisite detail. The image showcases the galaxy's grand design, with prominent spiral arms winding outwards from a luminous central core. The arms are studded with clusters of young, hot stars, while the core harbors a supermassive black hole. The image also reveals a delicate dusting of interstellar dust lanes, tracing the galaxy's intricate structure.

The ESA #Gaia mission has delivered the best Milky Way maps to date and taken its last starlight before spacecraft retirement 🔭

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like face-on: as viewed from above the disc of the galaxy, with its spiral arms and bulge in full view. In the centre of the galaxy, the bulge shines as a hazy oval, emitting a faint golden gleam. Starting at the central bulge, several glistening spiral arms coil outwards, creating a perfectly circle-shaped spiral. They give the impression of someone having sprinkled pastel purple glitter on the pitch-black background, in the shape of sparkling, curled-up snakes.

A model image of what our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might look like edge-on, against a pitch-black backdrop. The Milky Way’s disc appears in the centre of the image, as a thin, dark-brown line spanning from left to right, with the hint of a wave in it. The line appears to be etched into a thin glowing layer of silver sand, that makes it look as if it was drawn with a coloured pencil on coarse paper. The bulge of the galaxy sits like a glowing, see-through pearl in the shape of a sphere in the centre of this brown line

The Pillars of Creation, towering columns of gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, captured in stunning detail by the James Webb Space Telescope. These pillars are stellar nurseries where new stars are born, located about 6,500 light-years away.

this is a galaxy cluster whose light took 10 BILLION years to reach us.

unreal.

$Hundreds of galaxies appear in this view, which is set against the black background of space. There are many overlapping objects at various distances. They include large, blue foreground stars, some with eight diffraction spikes, and white and pink spiral and elliptical galaxies. Numerous tiny orange dots appear throughout the scene.$
