Stunning "First Look" image by @vrubinobs.bsky.social of the galaxy NGC 4261 + neighbours. The image sharpness and depth is amazing plus the ability to see the diffuse light, e.g. stellar umbrellas caused by galaxy interactions. #astronomy #extragalactic #AstroSci * noirlab.edu/public/image...

GOLD and SILVER!!
Australia’s Nicola Olyslagers has won a second straight high jump Indoor World Championships Title, while Eleanor Patterson made it an Aussie 1,2 to win silver.
Both cleared 1.97m, but Olyslagers’ flawless jumps at earlier heights saw her prevail.

Amazing world indoor high jump competition - some massive jumps by Nicola 🤩 Congratulations Nic No 1 🥇, Eleanor No 2 🥈and Yaroslava No 3 🥉 Bring on more High Jump 🔥🔥🔥 #athletics #highjump
🔥 WOW Gold & Silver 🔥
How amazing - Nicola Olyslagers & Eleanor Patterson make another mark in history
They share gold & silver on global championship podium - the only ever time this happened for Australia was in 1968 when Maureen Caird & Pam Kilborn did same in 80mH
🔥 sensational 🔥

Another stunning image from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) DR10 release. This is NGC 4495 which is surrounded by numerous spokes and shells appearing like a faint but sharply defined halo. Looks like multiple "umbrellas" from galaxy merger events. #astronomy #extragalactic

Faint stellar tails / bridges / filaments in the NGC 128 galaxy group as revealed in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) DR10, overexposed here to highlight stars outside the galaxy disks. These galaxies are interacting, and NGC 128 is counter-rotating (Chung+ 2012). #astronomy #extragalactic

Three of the spiral galaxies shown are part of the famous Grus Quartet which is rich in neutral hydrogen gas (black and blue contours from ATCA and Parkes, respectively). Hydrogen bridges between galaxies as well as tidal tails highlight their interaction history.

3/5 The hydrogen envelope of spiral galaxies typically extends well beyond their stellar disks. M83 is a great example of this as shown below. There is a lot happening in the outer HI disk, likely evidence of interactions with neighbours. #radioastronomy #extragalactic #astronomy #spiral #galaxies

2/5 Deep optical images of M83 (NGC 5236) by Robert Gendler (left) and David Malin (right, 1987) reveal the faint stellar light including a southern spur and northern stream. The latter is likely an accreted dwarf galaxy. * David Malin's image archive: images.datacentral.org.au/malin/DEEP/153
