🧵 1/ For those who missed it, this recent image from Webb's NIRCam features a part of the Leo P dwarf galaxy (the blue stars at lower right) along with countless other galaxies in the background. Reference➡️ esawebb.org/images/LeoP/ A t…
🧵 This intriguing image shows two distant interacting galaxies, collectively called Arp 142, resembling a penguin guarding an egg. The image combines data from NASA's Spitzer (infrared light) and Hubble (visible light) telescopes. ➡️ w…
🧵 1/ Look at this marvel! The composite image, featuring the galaxy group Stephan's Quintet, combines Webb's infrared data with X-rays data by Chandra. Stefan's Quintet, along with other cosmic objects, is part of the first Webb's observ…
🔭 🧪 #extragalactic #JWST🧵 1/ This tantalizing vibrant color image (released in Dec. 2024) of the young star cluster NGC 602 uses Chandra X-ray data (in red) and JWST data (in various infrared colors). Reference➡️ chandra.cfa.harvard.…
1/ 🔭🧪 #extragalactic This amazing image combines Webb (at top left) & Hubble's (on bottom right) face-on views of barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512. Webb’s observations put together near- and mid-infrared light & Hubble’s ones display vis…
🧵 For the first time, a research team observed a violent interaction between two distant galaxies, revealing how one of the two, equipped with a quasar, hits the other with powerful radiation, limiting its star formation and fueling the b…
🧵 This spectacular image-- obtained by SOFIA-derived magnetic streamlines superposed on ESO, APEX, Chandra, and Spitzer images-- shows the warped magnetic fields of Centaurus A (or Cen A), an active galaxy in Centaurus. ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/…
🧵 Here is Messier 106 (or NGC 4258), a true cosmic marvel in the constellation Canes Venatici. Image Credit: NASA, ESO , NAOJ, Giovanni Paglioli; Assembling and Processing: R. Colombari and R. Gendler ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap19031... …
🧵 1/ For those who missed it, this is the stunning image from Webb's NIRCam showing NGC 604, a star-forming region located around 2.73 Mly away in the Triangulum galaxy (M33). Source and more➡️ science.nasa.gov/missions/web... Credits: …
🧵 This colour image, combining #Hubble observations with further info by Robert Gendler & Jay GaBany, shows an incredible view of Messier 106 (M106 or NGC 4258), an intermediate spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici. ➡️ esahubble.org/news/heic…
🔭 🧪 🧵 #extragalactic #JWST 1/ A JWST near- and mid-IR imaging survey, using NIRCam and MIRI, has taken this captivating image of I Zwicky 18 (I Zw 18), a dwarf irregular galaxy with starburst regions, which is located some 59 million li…
🔭 🧪 #extragalactic 🧵 1/ Admire this captivating image of the spectacular spiral galaxy NGC 300, located approximately 6 Mly away in Sculptor. What is striking about the image is the extraordinary abundance of stars that can be seen. I…
