JWST and Hubble image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg.

In Hubble’s visible light view (left), a dark dust lane begins across the Penguin’s beak and extends through its body. In JWST’s near-infrared view (right), the dust is much fainter. A bridge of stars and gas connects the galaxies in the JWST image, and there is a gap with Hubble.

Irregular Dwarf #Galaxy Sextans A

Irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A, 4.5 million light-years away, forms stars in a gumdrop-shaped area just 5,000 light-years wide. Despite its small size, it's part of the local group of galaxies including the Milky Way and Andromeda.

JWST NIRCam image of Arp 142, also known as NGC 2936 and NGC 2937, or the Penguin and the Egg.

The blue haze in the distorted spiral galaxy, elliptical galaxy, and the bridge connecting the two, are stars. The red filaments are glowing dust. The edge-on galaxy at top right is in the foreground, significantly closer to us than the Penguin and the Egg.

Composite image of Arp 26, also known as M101 or the Pinwheel Galaxy.

X-rays from Chandra (purple) show the hottest areas of the spiral galaxy. Infrared light from Spitzer (red) traces dust and visible light from Hubble (yellow) highlights starlight . Ultraviolet light from GALEX (blue) shows the emission from young stars.

Spitzer image of Arp 16, also known as M66.

In this infrared image of M66 from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxy Survey (SINGS), we see a stark contrast between the blue core and bar with a concentration of blue older stars, and the pink bar ends and spiral arms that show dust heated by actively forming stars.

Learn what happens now that NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration has shut down its planetary defence mission that tracks asteroids… https://ausgeo.co/nasaasteroidtracking

Since its launch in 2011 until this year, when it is being returned to Earth, NASA's NEOWISE mission detected more than 3000 objects with the potential to collide with our home planet.

The planetary defence mission will be replaced by an improved system in 2027, which leaves us wondering what happens for the next three years without asteroid monitoring.

King of Wings Hoodoo under the Milky Way

The King of Wings, a hoodoo in New Mexico, forms from hard rock over softer eroding layers. Planning its night-sky photoshoot took a year, balancing artificial foreground lighting with the Milky Way's natural glow. The final image was captured in May 2016.
