Tendrils of NGC 604

The James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam and MIRI capture the star-forming region NGC 604. What beautiful images!

Fun fact: NGC 604 is over 40 times the size of the Orion Nebula, and if placed at the distance of the Orion Nebula, it would outshine Venus!

NGC 206 and the Star Clouds of Andromeda Image Credit & Copyright: Roberto Marinoni

Explanation: The large stellar association cataloged as NGC 206 is nestled within the dusty arms of the neighboring Andromeda galaxy along with the galaxy's pinkish star-forming regions. Also known as M31, the spiral galaxy is a mere 2.5 million light-years away. NGC 206 is found at the center of this sharp and detailed close-up of the southwestern extent of Andromeda's disk. The bright, blue stars of NGC 206 indicate its youth. In fact, its youngest massive stars are less than 10 million years old. Much larger than the open or galactic clusters of young stars in the disk of our Milky Way galaxy, NGC 206 spans about 4,000 light-years. That's comparable in size to the giant stellar nurseries NGC 604 in nearby spiral M33 and the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

NGC 604: Giant Stellar Nursery in M33 - August 16th, 1996.

"The nebula cataloged as NGC 604 is a giant star forming region, 1500 light years across, in the nearby spiral galaxy M33. Seen here in a snapshot by the Hubble Space Telescope, over 200 newly formed, hot, massive stars are scattered within a cavern-like, gaseous, interstellar cloud. The stars irradiate the gas with energetic ultraviolet light, stripping electrons from atoms and exciting them - producing a characteristic nebular glow. The details of the nebula's structure hold clues to the mysteries of star formation and its effect on the evolution of galaxies."

No info for this week's post, at least not in regards to the date it was uploaded or any description. The file did have a high saturation low quality image of NGC 604, which is cool. I thought it was more artwork, like what accompanied Spectral Machine a few weeks ago.

NASA's Webb Telescope just dropped this INSANE image of a star-forming region called NGC 604

March 9, 2024, NASA's Webb Telescope just dropped this INSANE image of a star-forming region called NGC 604, located a whopping 2.73 million light-years away in our neighboring Triangulum Galaxy (aka M33)!

The Triangulum Galaxy, M33 // Angelos Kechagias

Seen here zoomed-in, the Triangulum Galaxy contains numerous star-forming regions within it (colored red and pink in this image). These are just like the nebulae in our own galaxy!

The brightest is NGC 604 (left). It is over 40 times the size of the Orion Nebula, and over 6,300 times more luminous than the Orion Nebula. In fact, if it were placed at the distance of the Orion Nebula, it would outshine Venus in our skies!

Finale got around to processing the photos of M33 I had taken at the end of august. M33 is a spiral galaxy about half the size of our own galaxy and located about 2.7 million light years from earth. This galaxy has a rather high rate of star formation resulting in numerous ionised hydrogen regions (the red irregular blotches inside the galaxy), some of those being notable enough to have been included in the NGC catalogue or the IC catalogue.

NGC 588 NGC 604 (Example of some of the notable nebula in M33)

On of the first recorded observation of this galaxy was possibly done by Giovanni B. Hodierna before 1654, it was independently rediscovered by Charles Messier in 1764 who added it to his catalog (hence the name Messie 33).

information on the photo - total exposure time : 1h48 min using RGB and Ha filters - camera : ASI294 mm - telescope : Newtonian 150/600 with 0.95x coma corrector - photo edited with pixinsight

For those using PixInsight for treatment/edition, I recently discovered the scrips created by Seti Astro (https://www.setiastro.com/pjsr-scripts), Blemish-Blaster was quite useful to remove the halos from my Ha filter and What's In My Image helped with the identification of nebulas. If you had not heard those scrips, you should check them out.
