Hubble image of Arp 300, also known as UGC 05028 and UGC 05029.

UGC 05028 (the smaller spiral galaxy) and UGC 05029 (the larger spiral) form an interacting pair.

Interactions with its companion likely gave UGC 05028 its asymmetric structure. The bright knot in the bottom of UGC 05028 may be yet another small galaxy that is in the process of merging.

A black and white image of a pair of spiral galaxies. The larger galaxy to the upper left is seen nearly face-on. It has a small core and a short bar that transitions into spiral arms that are dotted with bright star clusters. More star clusters appear on the right of the galaxy, the side that faces its companion. There are a few dark dust lanes, concentrated near the inner spiral arms. The smaller spiral galaxy to the lower right has a bright bar structure that is surrounded by star clusters that only very roughly form spiral arms. On the bottom of the galaxy there is a knot of stars that is brightest in its center, crossed by dark dust lanes. This may be a seperate dwarf galaxy that is either in front of the smaller spiral or is in the process of merging with it. Other distant galaxies and stars fill the black background of space.


If you're reading this from exoplanet WASP-127b, today's #weather forecast is winds of 33 000 km/h, so you may want to stay inside!

If you missed the news yesterday, here's a video recap of the latest discovery with our Very Large Telescope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S84jjw__zlg

#astrodon #astronomy #astrophysics #space #science


1/ Using our Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have discovered extremely powerful winds pummelling the equator of the giant gas exoplanet WASP-127b, 500 light-years away.

➡️ https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2502/

Reaching speeds up to 33 000 km/h, the winds make up the fastest jetstream of its kind ever measured on a planet.

In comparison, the fastest wind ever measured in the Solar System was found on Neptune, moving at 1800 km/h.

How did they do it? Keep reading...

Artist’s impression showing WASP-127b, a giant gas planet. The planet takes up almost the full frame, with its atmosphere showing whirling motion all over the planet. Wispy ripples of blueish white mixed with orange imply motion, with white being the dominant colour at the equator and the planet’s poles, and a band of more orange-red between them. In the black background are some tiny white stars.

A couple moon pics I took from my apartment last night. These were taken on my #iphone 16 pro’s 5x lens looking through a 7x binocular. No editing and looking pretty good I think :)

A pitch black photo, except for the moon in the center. It is a few days after the full moon, so it has begun to wane a bit. The details of the moons surface are visible, showing craters and lines. It’s a tad blurry, and not the most detailed image out there, but it still looks great.

It’s a tad blurry and much darker than the other image. However, there is more detail visible because the brightness is lower.


#UMPlus - HOPS 150 and 153

This Hubble Space Telescope image is a close-up of the dusty recesses of the closest massive star-forming region to Earth, the Orion Nebula Messier 42. Located just 1,300 light-years from the Solar System and facing the Orion constellation, it is visible to the naked eye beneath.....

"... Allerdings bedroht ein industrielles Megaprojekt die Forschung in der Wüste. Eine US-amerikanische Firma will dort einen Industriekomplex errichten. Wissenschaftler fürchten, dass durch Lichtverschmutzung die Beobachtungen des Weltalls nicht mehr möglich sind."

What a beauty! This is comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) passing through the field of view of the LASCO C3 coronagraph.

It wasn't for certain whether it would survive it's closest approach to the sun on January 13th, but it did and delivered us a spectacular show!

Dwarf galaxy Leo P—the clustering of blue stars at lower right—has an oddball history. After an early burst of star formation, its star production shut down. But unlike most dwarf galaxies, star formation reignited and continues today: https://bit.ly/4j6OgIQ #AAS245
A concentration of bright blue stars occupies the bottom right corner of the image. At bottom center within them is a small blue bubble. The stars and bubble are part of a diffuse dwarf galaxy that extends beyond the image border. Background galaxies are scattered across the image, with some particularly prominent spirals located at upper left and upper right. The background of space is black.

Die Feiertagspause ist vorbei und Franzi erzählt, wie Pluto als neunter Planet entdeckt wurde und wie es direkt Zweifel an ihm gab. Und wie danach immer klarer wurde: Der ist gar kein Planet. Aber was ist er dann?

➡️ https://astrogeo.de/kein-herz-fuer-pluto-der-wohlverdiente-zwergplanet/ 🪐 👎

Wenn ihr trotz alledem ein Herz für Pluto habt: Bear with us. Wir mögen ihn ja auch, den Zwerg, und zwar so wie er ist! 💙

Meteorite Earth Strike!

A meteorite hit a Canadian man's porch in Marshfield at 200 km/h.

For the first time in history, video and sound of a falling celestial body have been preserved.

The whole thing was filmed by an intercom with a camera. Now scientists are studying the scattered fragments. According to experts, a piece of an astronomical object flew to us from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Check Out the Stunning New Images of Jupiter From NASA's Juno Spacecraft

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has just released stunning images of Jupiter, captured during its 66th flyby of the largest and oldest planet in our solar system.

The Juno mission has been studying the Jovian system—Jupiter, along with its rings and many moons—to learn about the giant planet’s formation and evolution with the hope that it might shed light on the development of the entire solar system, per a NASA statement. The solar-powered spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in August 2011 and reached Jupiter in July 2016.

“Jupiter is the Rosetta Stone of our solar system. Juno is going there as our emissary—to interpret what Jupiter has to say,” Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator and associate vice president of the Southwest Research Institute’s Science and Engineering Division, says in the statement.

On January 12, 1907, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was born - a Soviet scientist and designer in the field of rocket science and cosmonautics, chief designer of the first launch vehicles, artificial satellites, manned spacecraft, founder of practical cosmonautics, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1958, corresponding member 1953), member of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1960-1966), twice Hero of Socialist Labor (1956, 1961).

A giant Soviet telescope looks like a remnant of an older and more advanced civilization.

Its history matches this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope was developed to support communications with robotic missions to Venus and Mars and to prepare for possible manned expeditions to these planets.

The telescope is located near the city of Kalyazin, and still in operation today. Its scientific tasks include deep space communications and astrophysical research.
