Explanation:
This floating ring is the size of a galaxy. In fact, it is a galaxy -- or at least part of one: the photogenic Sombrero Galaxy, one of the largest galaxies in the nearby Virgo Cluster of Galaxies. The dark band of dust that obscures the mid-section of the Sombrero Galaxy in visible light actually glows brightly in infrared light. The featured image, digitally sharpened, shows the infrared glow, recently recorded by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope, superposed in false-color on an existing image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope in visible light. The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as M104, spans about 50,000 light years and lies 28 million light years away. M104 can be seen with a small telescope in the direction of the constellation Virgo.

A red-tinged ring of dust is seen nearly on edge. In the ring's center and extending around the frame, blue gas and stars are shown.

"
Längste Beobachtung einer aktiven Sonnenregion
"
"Im Mai 2024 tobte der stärkste Sonnensturm der letzten zwanzig Jahre. Ein internationales Team unter der Leitung der ETH Zürich hat ihn beobachtet. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse helfen dabei, das Weltraumwetter nun besser voraussagen zu können."

Die letzten Informationen zum #ISS Drama. Es gibt Probleme mit dem Gesundheitszustand von Crew 11 und es gibt ein vorgezogenen Rücktransport und nur 3 Leute werden auf der ISS bleiben bis Crew 12 bereit ist. Was genau der Grund ist und um welche Gesundheitlichen Probleme es geht dazu gibt es noch keine genauen Informationen.

Jupiter with the Great Red Spot
* Image Credit & Copyright: Christopher Go

Explanation:
Jupiter reaches its 2026 opposition today, January 10. That puts our Solar System's most massive planet opposite the Sun and near its closest and brightest for viewing from planet Earth. In fact, captured only 3 days ago this sharp telescopic snapshot reveals excellent details of the ruling gas giant's swirling cloudtops, in light zones and dark belts girdling the rapidly rotating outer planet. Jupiter's famous, persistent anticyclonic vortex, known as the Great Red Spot, is south of the equator at the lower right. But two smaller red spots are also visible, one near the top in the northernmost zone, and one close to Jupiter's south pole. And while Jupiter's Great Red Spot is known to be shrinking, its still about the size of the Earth itself.
