NASA: Hubble Examines a Busy Galactic Center

"This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy IC 4709 located around 240 million light-years away in the southern constellation Telescopium. Hubble beautifully captures its faint halo and swirling disk filled with stars and dust bands. The compact region at its core might be the most remarkable sight. It holds an active galactic nucleus (AGN)."

"There's a bright #comet headed our way. These things are notoriously unpredictable, but if #CometTsuchinshan-ATLAS holds up, it could become a pretty, naked-eye object in early October. "

Numerous reports of the #fireball seen in parts of the @WDEFNews12 viewing area on Thursday evening. (Thanks to viewer Chase Phillips for the video.) If you saw this event, make your report to the American Meteor Society:

"#NASA’s #Voyager2 was launched 47 years ago today.

The only spacecraft to visit all four outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — it’s currently over 12 billion miles away, cruising through interstellar space.

Relive Voyager 2’s journey…"

#BackyardAstronomy #ISSALERT: The International Space Station will make a SUPER-bright pass over the WDEF News 12 viewing area tonight, rising in the SW at 8:50 PM EDT, passing very close to bright star Sirius in constellation Canis Major, just below Orion. Increasing cloud cover could cause a problem with seeing conditions in some areas. #KeepLookingUp

Chandra.Harvard.Edu: "RCW 103: Young Magnetar Likely the Slowest Pulsar Ever Detected"

#SomewhereDeepInTheNight #ToTheSky #ScienceRules #AstronomyNews #KeepLookingUp

"Observers had previously agreed that 1E 1613 is a neutron star, an extremely dense star created by the supernova that produced RCW 103. However, the regular variation in the X-ray brightness of the source, with a period of about six and a half hours, presented a puzzle."

"The VERTICO—Virgo Environment Traced in Carbon Monoxide—Survey observed the gas reservoirs in 51 galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster and found that the extreme environment in the cluster was killing galaxies by robbing them of their star-forming fuel."

This highly stylized view of Jupiter's icy moon Europa is based on an image captured by JunoCam, the public engagement camera aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft, during the mission's close flyby on Sept. 29, 2022. Citizen scientist Fernando Garcia Navarro created the image by processing a JunoCam previously worked on by fellow citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill. Navarro calls his rendering "Fall Colors of Europa."

#SomewhereDeepInTheNight "The #supernova2023 remnant called SNR 0519-69.0 (#SNR0519 for short) is the debris from an explosion of a #whitedwarfstar. After reaching a critical mass, either by pulling matter from a companion star or merging with another white dwarf, the star underwent a thermonuclear explosion and was destroyed. Scientists use this type of #supernova, called a Type Ia, for a wide range of scientific studies ranging from studies of thermonuclear explosions to measuring distances to galaxies across billions of light-years."
