The North American Nebula (left on its side) and the Pelican Nebula (right) These are located ~2,500 lightyears from Earth. The field of view is about the size of 3 moons. Taken from my backyard in the Bay Area. This is a combination from 948 exposures for a total of 74.5Hrs. #astrophotography

Our photo group did a night hike to reach this special and secretive spot in the salt flats of the Altiplano in Chile. I did a 20 second exposure with a 14mm lens, while a flashlight revealed this incredible blue lagoon. Another otherworldly place on Earth. #astrophotography #chile #bluelagoon

This infrared view of the Pleiades (M45), captured by WISE spacecraft. Light & winds from the cluster’s stars shape the dust into filaments. Located 450 light-years away in Taurus, the image spans about 20 light-years. Credit: WISE, IRSA, NASA Processing: Francesco Antonucci

The first JWST image of 2025 will be an updated image of Wolf-Rayet star WR 140. 🔭 🧪

Pixelated image of WR 140, showing orange-blue colors.

A star field appears that has several nebulas. Toward the upper left is a angularly small supernova remnant colored blue, while dominating the lower right is a large supernova remnant in both red and blue. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

High resolution image of a heavy star. 🔭 🧪

$The luminous, hot star Wolf-Rayet 124 (WR 124) is prominent at the centre of the James Webb Space Telescope’s composite image combining near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths of light. The star displays the characteristic diffraction spikes of Webb’s Near-infrared Camera (NIRCam), caused by the physical structure of the telescope itself. NIRCam effectively balances the brightness of the star with the fainter gas and dust surrounding it, while Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) reveals the nebula’s structure. Background stars and galaxies populate the field of view and peek through the nebula of gas and dust that has been ejected from the ageing massive star. A history of the star’s past episodes of mass loss can be read in the nebula’s structure. Rather than smooth shells, the nebula is formed from random, asymmetric ejections. Bright clumps of gas and dust appear like tadpoles swimming toward the star, their tails streaming out behind them, blown back by the stellar wind.$
