This image shows the Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038 & NGC 4039), 60 million light-years away in Corvus. These galaxies are in the process of merging, creating tidal tails and bursts of star formation from their gravitational interaction.

Billions of years from now, only one galaxy will remain as spiral galaxies NGC 2207 (right) and IC 2163 (left) slowly merge. This composite of Hubble and Webb images shows their recent encounter, triggering star formation and tidal streams.

This infrared image from NASA Spitzer Space Telescope shows the Helix nebula, a cosmic starlet often photographed by amateur astronomers for its vivid colors and eerie resemblance to a giant eye.

The Milky Way above the Ring of Brodgar, on Orkney.

In an otherwise clear sky, it was "disappointing" to have that band of cloud that just didn't want to disperse.

The bright light on the clouds is from the town of Stromness, where we had docked a few hours earlier.

JWST peers deep into space, taking a snapshot of over 20,000 galaxies, some whose light comes to us from over 12 billion light-years away.
This image was presented today on AAS Nova.

Three years ago, at the urging of my dying mother, I purchased my very first camera and commenced my photography journey. After countless videos and articles on how to everything Canon R5 it has been worth it. A few of my favorite landscapes from year 3 #photography #canonusa
