Holyyyyyy....I am a tired exhausted puddle on the floor. What a day for @vrubinobs.bsky.social! This observatory is incredible. Highly, HIGHLY recommend joyscolling around Rubin's Skyviewer. I quite like this galaxy - which is your favorite? 🔭🧪 skyviewer.app

A large face-on galaxy in a cosmic tapestry of glittering galaxy jewels. The galaxy nearly looks like a ring surrounding a bright core. A few bright stars pepper the scene, and the background is filled with the smudges of distant galaxies of various colors against the black of space.

the space images ever (according to no one in particular except me)

A thin structure of dark gas clouds spreads across the image. The pillar is darker and broader at the base, thin toward the middle, and broadens out again at the top, with spikes, fingers, and wisps of gas protruding in all directions from its head. Some parts of the pillar are illuminated, but most are dark and silhouetted at the edges and lit from behind. A wall of colorful gas lies behind the pillar, bluish at the top and redder toward the bottom, with several blue and gold stars scattered across it.

Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, K. Noll

$The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.$

A filamentary orange veil covers a bright region of star formation. The background is dark, stippled with stars and galaxies ranging from small bright dots to starry shapes. The foreground veil spans from upper left to the bottom right and resembles a seahorse. Bright stars light up the ‘eye’ and ‘chest’ regions of the seahorse with purple light. Within the tail, three bright spots sit in a traffic-light like formation.

This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.

Cat's Eye Nebula - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/7GLbNG

The Cat's Eye Nebula, one of the first planetary nebulae discovered, also has one of the most complex forms known to this kind of nebula. Eleven rings, or shells, of gas make up the Cat's Eye.

The full beauty of the Cat's Eye Nebula is revealed in this detailed view from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) shows a bull's eye pattern of eleven or even more concentric rings, or shells, around the Cat's Eye. Each 'ring' is actually the edge of a spherical bubble seen projected onto the sky -- that's why it appears bright along its outer edge.

Observations suggest the star ejected its mass in a series of pulses at 1,500-year intervals. These convulsions created dust shells, each of which contain as much mass as all of the planets in our solar system combined (still only one percent of the Sun's mass). These concentric shells make a layered, onion-skin structure around the dying star. The view from Hubble is like seeing an onion cut in half, where each skin layer is discernible.

The bull's-eye patterns seen around planetary nebulae come as a surprise to astronomers because they had no expectation that episodes of mass loss at the end of stellar lives would repeat every 1,500 years. Several explanations have been proposed, including cycles of magnetic activity somewhat similar to our own Sun's sunspot cycle, the action of companion stars orbiting around the dying star, and stellar pulsations. Another school of thought is t...

Some cool light rays over Grand Canyon Cape Royale… Funny story about this shot is I ended there by total coincidence. Full story in ALT. #bluesky #photography #nature #art #landscape #light #travel

Divine light over the mesmerizing reliefs of Grand Canyon.
Story: back in 2019 I took a long roadtrip in Southwest US, mostly in Utah, in middle of summer. After a week, I was literally dying from the heat, so I followed the advice of a random guy I met on one of the spots I visited: going to GC to get some fresh air (higher altitude). But the thing is I had zero plans, no precise locations in mind… So when I arrived in GC I just went around shooting randomly. On that day, I was exploring a spot for sunset but quickly realized it wouldn’t be ideal for sunset light, so I was hesitant about what to do. That’s when I met a local and started to chat with him, then he proposed to take me to a spot that was ideal for sunset. I followed him and ended in that spot. It’s been one of the best shooting I had during the whole trip 😂. Crazy light, beautiful sunset, incredible location. Sometimes having no plan = good plan on the end.

Hubble captures view of “Mystic Mountain”. 🔭 🧪

This Hubble Space Telescope image captures the grandeur of the Carina Nebula, showcasing its intricate tapestry of gas and dust illuminated by energetic young stars. The image reveals towering pillars and sculpted shapes, with colors indicating different elements and ionization states within the nebula.

Have you ever seen stars on a chilly night? This is Crowdy Head Lighthouse, built in 1878. I lit it up with just a flashlight and captured the stars with my camera. Tried again recently but the moon was too bright. What's your best memory under the stars? ‌#astrophotography #stars

I don’t normally post celebrity gossip, but check out this photo of the hottest star in the known universe: WR 102. Its surface temperature is over 200,000 degrees Kelvin, versus the Sun’s surface at around 5,800K 🧪🔭🌟 📷 Richard Harris

A space photograph of rippling red and blue gases surrounding a small star. These are the materials lost from the superhot star WR 102 as it approaches supernova/collapse. Photo by Richard Harris using a CDK24 PlaneWave telescope in Chile.
