Art makes the internet worth looking at. Photography, music, graphic design-all things people love. Yet artists always carry the burden of making sure these things exsist in digital spaces because it's how we make a living. It gets exhausting being the world wide webs coal miner canary.

NASA's MESSENGER Satellite Captures Spectacular Color Mosaic of Mercury - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/9uD599

NASA image acquired: January 14, 2008

This spectacular color mosaic shows the eastern limb of Mercury as seen by MESSENGER as the spacecraft departed the planet following the mission's first Mercury flyby in January 2008. The colors of this image are not those that would be seen by the human eye but instead convey information about the distribution of different rock types on Mercury's surface. The different rock types result in subtle color variations across all of the 11 WAC narrow-band color filters. The Caloris basin, visible as a large bright yellow circular area in this image due to its infill of volcanic plains, dominates the northern region. A similar image was published in Science magazine in July 2008, but it only covered the northern half of the region shown here. To create this larger color mosaic, MESSENGER Science Team members had to also devise a method to deal with scattered light in the 11 different WAC filters. MESSENGER has obtained color imaging at this resolution only for the portions of Mercury seen on departure from Mercury flybys 1 and 2.

As spectacular as this color image is, it is just a taste of what is yet to come. In 2011, MESSENGER will become the first spacecraft ever to orbit Mercury and begin a year-long observing campaign that includes imaging all of Mercury's surface in color at an average resolution of about 1 kilometer/pixel (0.6 miles/pixel), a resolution that is about a factor of three better than this already impressive image.

The Swan Nebula - Optical/Infrared Comparison - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/fsFLfD

This image shows the bright nebula Messier 17, also known as the Swan Nebula or the Omega Nebula.
This nebula is located about 6000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius. It was discovered by Swiss astronomer Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745 and later catalogued by Charles Messier in 1764.
The central part of the nebula is lit up by a cluster of extremely bright young O and B type stars. It is one of the brightest and most massive star forming regions in our galaxy and appears very similar in spatial structure to the famous Orion Nebula, but the Swan is viewed more edge-on from our vantage point. The nebula is also very bright visually, actually much more so than its famous neighbour the Eagle Nebula - which traditionally is the more photographed of the two.

Visible above the nebula is a pair of very unique bright orange stars. These are LBV (Luminous Blue Variable) type stars HD 168607 and HD 168625 respectively, two rare yellow hypergiants that might have formed what is known as a pseudo-photosphere. This is a theoretical optically dense surface present due to intense stellar winds and thus not the actual surface of the star. This pseudo-photosphere is much cooler than the underlying surface of the star and therefore appears yellow to us. The right-most of these two stars in the image (HD 168625) also has an associated complex nebulousity surrounding. This nebula appears very similar to the double ring structure observed around Sandulaek -69° 202 which w...

Baade's Window - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/2q7ttqg

Baade's Window is a unique region in the constellation Sagittarius that is notable for its relatively clear view towards the central bulge of our galaxy, through the otherwise dense dust clouds of the Milky Way. Named after the astronomer Walter Baade, who identified its significance, this area provides a unique observational window for studying the structure and composition of the Galactic Centre. It has allowed scientists to explore the distribution of stars, star clusters, and other celestial phenomena that are otherwise hidden behind the galactic dust.
Baade's Window is centered on the globular cluster NGC 6522, visible in the left of this image. The other globular cluster is NGC6528 which in comparison appears significantly reddened by obscuring dust.

8 Micron Spitzer View of the Galactic Core - From Judy Schmidt (geckzilla.bsky.social) - flic.kr/p/2jW97dA

The same mosaics from this view except using the 8 micron data for luminosity, and the other three channels for color. This significantly reduces the starlight signal, though not totally. Still makes it much easier to see the dust and emission nebulas.

Note that much of the nebulosity is in the foreground as we view the Milky Way's center through one of the arms of the Milky Way. It is difficult to discern or even measure the distance to each piece, but generally, the larger structures that extend far away from flat central plane are foreground objects, while thinner, smaller pieces that remain close to the plane are closer to the core. Many of these smaller objects are overlapped and obscured by mid and foreground objects.

Luminosity: 8.0 µm (IRAC4)
Red: 5.8 µm (IRAC3)
Green: 4.5 µm (IRAC2)
Blue: 3.6 µm (IRAC1)

The image is presented in galactic coordinates, with north up in that regard.

Deep Image of Peculiar Shell Elliptical Galaxy NGC 3923 in Hydra - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/293GTsm

Some 90 million light years away, towards the Southern constellation Hydra, lies the peculiar shell elliptical galaxy NGC 3923. As of 2018, there doesn't seem to exist any other amateur images of this beautiful galaxy.
Its unusual appearance originate from past mergers with other nearby galaxies which have generated the myriad of concentric shells visible near the centre. This phenomenon is in fact not uncommon and many other elliptical galaxies host large shell systems, including the famous Centaurus A (NGC 5128), but the remarkable symmetry and large number of subtle shells is unique to NGC 3923.

The formation of such shells are a common observation in computer simulations of merging galaxies.
The shells form when the cores of merging galaxies orbit around their common centre of mass in an ever tighter orbit while disrupting the halos of both galaxies and sending billions of stars into eccentric orbits. This process creates outward traveling density waves until the collision eventually settles as one single large galaxy.
Recent research based on deep images from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope have documented 42 concentric shells in NGC 3923, more than in any other known galaxy.

A prominent stream of stars is extending towards the lower right, terminating abruptly in a shell-like fragment (4 o'clock position). Visible within this stream is a small round galaxy, believed to be one of the merging progenitors of the shell system. The galaxy appears to be in the process...

Messier 20: A Deep Look at The Trifid Nebula and Surrounds - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/2ky4FU3

This deep image shows the famous Trifid nebula in Sagittarius, also known as Messier 20 or NGC 6514:
www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Nebula...

The complex cloud displays an unusual combination of both red emission and blue reflection areas as well as numerous intricate dark patterns.
The nebula is located 9000 light years away in the direction towards the galactic centre. The entire area is sprinkled with thousands of stars and fainter dusty and nebulous areas throughout. A separate prominent dark cloud appears dramatically silhouetted against the starry background to the right.

A curious example of gas evaporation can bee seen near the core of the Trifid itself. Here a dense stalk, 8 light years from the centre, is emerging from the edge of the bubble surrounding the central cluster, and in the other direction a powerful stellar jet from a young star, HH 399 embedded in the gas, is shooting out in an upwards direction. The bright young stars in the central cluster emit strong radiation which eats away the surrounding gas and dust. The stalk only appears because a denser region lies at its very tip and protects a thin strip of the cloud from this interstellar erosion. The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged this fascinating area in high resolution. Also, the proper motion of the irradiated plasma in this jet has been measured and a paper has been published detailing these findings.

Also, throughout the nebula lies countless young T Tauri stars just h...

NGC 6188 and NGC 6193 in Ara - From Rolf Wahl Olsen - flic.kr/p/cgYXQu

NGC 6188 is a large emission nebula located some 4000 light years distant in the Southern constellation Ara. This giant molecular cloud is being illuminated by the young star cluster NGC 6193 which in this image appears in the centre almost as if suspended in front of a blanket of nebulousity littered with thousands of other dimmer stars in a multitude of colours.

At the centre of this cluster lies an intensely bright pair of stars; the O-type giants HD 150135 and HD 150136. The latter is in fact itself an extremely close binary with a confirmed third component in an outer eccentric orbit of between 2950 and 5500 days. This triple star system is one of the most massive in our galaxy with the three components containing 64, 40 and 35 solar masses respectively. The cluster is very young, not older than 3 million years, and the intense radiation from the massive stars is slowly eroding the surrounding gas and dust away, sculpting it into the striking forms seen in this image. Within these clouds new stars are currently being born and in places some have already begun to light up the nebula from within.

False Color View of Mercury - From Goddard Space Flight Center - flic.kr/p/dWWbct

This colorful view of Mercury was produced by using images from the color base map imaging campaign during MESSENGER's primary mission. These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye, but rather the colors enhance the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury's surface.

Young crater rays, extending radially from fresh impact craters, appear light blue or white. Medium- and dark-blue areas are a geologic unit of Mercury's crust known as the "low-reflectance material", thought to be rich in a dark, opaque mineral. Tan areas are plains formed by eruption of highly fluid lavas. The crater in the upper right whose rays stretch across the planet is Hokusai.
