I discovered this photo while scrolling through #APOD, and it stopped me cold. Rodrigo Guerra’s extraordinary image captures 3 rare phenomena together: - Venus at its maximum splendor - intense zodiacal light - a perfectly centered galactic bulge. ➡️ apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap21100... 🔭 🧪 #sciart 1/7

Admire this picture of a pitch-black sky over a far hill. Bottom edge: soft orange town glow, black tree outlines. Low left, one razor-sharp white spark (Venus) floats an inch above the line. From it, a faint pale smear stretches up like a quiet fan, fading as it climbs the middle—that’s zodiacal light. Up near the center, a fat glowing blob crammed with pinprick stars: Milky Way’s heart. The galaxy’s streak bends down right, ending in a snug golden dot (Alpha Centauri). Far right, lower, a big milky-white blob (Jupiter) hangs close to the ground. All crisp, quiet, endless.

🔭 The Sombrero Galaxy from Webb and Hubble Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Hubble Heritage Project (STScI, AURA) apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap24112...

The top panel shows a flat ring with a bright center in blue, even though it was taken in near infrared light. The bottom panel shows the same galaxy in visible light and shows a brighter and more expansive center against which the flat ring appears dark. Please see the explanation for more detailed information.

Rubin's COSMOS field #astronomy #astrophotography #apod

There are more than half a million galaxies in the central panel of this image from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile. This is the COSMOS field, a patch of sky several times larger than the full moon, first observed by Hubble. It has also been observed by Webb and other telescopes because it contains comparatively few bright stars from our own galaxy, offering a relatively unimpeded view of other galaxies outside the Milky Way. The outer panels, numbered 1-10, show zoomed-in views of the corresponding small regions highlighted in the central panel. The variety of galaxy shapes and sizes is astonishing. Some of them are so far away that their light has traveled for billions of years before reaching Earth. Rubin will come back every couple of days to the COSMOS field as part of its ten-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. It will allow a dynamic view of the COSMOS field and how the sky changes over time.

En el panel central de esta imagen del Observatorio Vera C. Rubin en Chile, se pueden observar más de medio millón de galaxias. Este es el campo COSMOS, una porción del cielo varias veces más grande que la luna llena, primero observada por el telescopio Hubble. También ha sido estudiada por el telescopio Webb y otros, debido a que contiene pocas estrellas brillantes de nuestra propia galaxia, lo que permite una vista relativamente despejada de galaxias externas a la Vía Láctea. Los paneles exteriores numerados del 1 al 10 muestran ampliaciones de las pequeñas regiones resaltadas en el panel central. La variedad de formas y tamaños de galaxias es sorprendente, y algunas están tan alejadas que su luz ha viajado miles de millones de años antes de llegar a la Tierra. El Rubin volverá cada pocos días al campo COSMOS como parte de su Encuesta de Legado de 10 años para ofrecer una visión dinámica de cómo cambia el cielo con el tiempo.

New Sharpest Image of the Sun Uncovers Instability #astronomy #astrophotography #apod

What does the new sharpest image of our Sun show? Instability. To be clear, a certain kind of interactive process called the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). This instability can create waves and swirls when two streams flow past each other -- in this case variable streams of solar magnetic plasma. Long hypothesized to occur on the Sun's surface, KHI streaks and swirls were confirmed in just-released dramatic high-resolution images taken recently by the Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, USA. The featured false-yellow image, actually taken in deep blue, is the highest resolution image yet of the Sun in visible light. It spans about the radius of the Earth, but its finest details are city sized. Visible are several smooth tops of changing solar granules, while the edges of the flower-like structures have been found to harbor multiple KHI swirls. Future research may investigate how the KHI helps move energy, magnetic fields, and may even heat the surrounding solar corona.
