NASA - Amazing Views In Space

Tech Wave

NGC 4038 and 4039 an amazing view of the Antennae Galaxies, taken by Alma radio telescope and Hubble space telescope.

Galaxy IC342

Also called the hidden galaxy, this spiral beauty is often hidden behind the Milky Way. New stars burst and form here about 10 million light years away in the constellation Camelopardalis. It's 62000 light years across. Beautiful








Soul Nebulas Heart Caught on Camera

NASA released this mosaic of the Soul Nebula. It is an open cluster of stars surrounded by dust and gas over 150 light years across and 6500 light years from Earth. In the constellation Cassiopeia.









Carina Nebula

Many well known objects can be seen in and near the violent Carina Nebula in this wide field image. In the bottom left is one of the most impressive binary stars in the universe, Eta Carinae, with the famous keyhole Nebula just adjacent. 

The collection of bright young stars to the right is open star cluster Trumpler14.

Orion Nebula

The new Hubble image of the Orion Nebula shows dense pillars of gas and dust that are likely home to young stars.








The Hubble Space Telescope

The Hubble Space Telescope has caught the most detailed view of the Crab nebula. This is one of the largest images ever assembled by the space based observatory.










NGC 6334

This Picture of the Cats Paw Nebula was created with the wide field
imager instrument a La Silla Observatory in Chile.

Arp 273

To celebrate the 21st anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers pointed Hubble's eye at an especially photogenic pair of interacting galaxies.

Two Galaxies In One

The infrared vision of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed that the Sombrero galaxy is in fact two galaxies in one. It is a large elliptical galaxy (blue-green) with a thin disk galaxy (partly seen in red) embedded within.





Messier 70

This globular cluster experienced a core collapse in the past, meaning that even more stars squeeze into the object's core than on average. The brightness of the cluster increases steadily towards its center. Messier 70 orbits close to the center of the Milky Way, about 30 000 light-years away from the Solar System. Image released April 13, 2012.






SuperNova In The Sky

Supernova 1987A occurred in the Large Magellanic Cloud a galaxy only 160,000 lights years from Earth. The Brightest know Super Nova in 400 years.






The Hubble Space Telescope captures

The Hubble Space Telescopes striking image of curious Planetary Nebula NGC 6210 which is located about 6500 light years from the constellation Hercules. Last Breath of a Dying Star.

Abell 33

 An unusually beautiful and photographic Planetary Nebula Abell 33 lies in the constellation of Hydra in the night sky.






Abell 383 has such heavy gravitational distortion that it may actually mirror images in or around it. Distant Galaxies seen by Hubble and NASA.
