🌌💥 Scientists at #Durham University used new data from #Gaia and #Hubble telescopes to reassess the predicted collision between our galaxy and #Andromeda. While previously considered inevitable in 5 billion years, the study found only a 50/50 chance of collision, and if it happens, it could be delayed to 10 billion years due to measurement uncertainties and gravitational influences from other #galaxies like the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Explanation:
Now a second supernova in this same galaxy is repeating. The cause is the gravitational lens effect of a massive foreground cluster of galaxies (MACS J0138) -- it creates multiple images of a perfectly aligned background galaxy (MRG-M0138). What's particularly interesting is that this background galaxy has young stars that keep blowing up. And images of each supernova explosion keep coming to us multiple times through different paths through the cluster. The original lensed supernova set, shown in the rollover, is called Requiem and was first seen by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2016. This second lensed supernova set is called Encore and was first seen by the Webb Space Telescope in 2023. More images from these supernovas are predicted to be on the way, and exactly when they arrive should help humanity to better understand the mass distribution of the galaxy cluster, the supernovas themselves, and possibly even the universe.

Galassia con anello di esplosione stellare

#hubble @astronomia

La scintillante galassia nella foto del telescopio spaziale Hubble della NASA/ESA è NGC 6951, che si trova a circa 70 milioni di anni luce di distanza nella costellazione di Cefeo.

umbertogaetani.substack.com/p/

NGC 6951 è una galassia a spirale con numerose strutture affascinanti. Le più accattivanti sono i suoi bracci a spirale, punteggiati da nebulose rosso brillante, stelle blu luminose e nubi di polvere filamentose. I bracci a spirale circondano il centro galattico, che emana un bagliore dorato proveniente da una popolazione di stelle più vecchie. Il centro della galassia è anche chiaramente allungato, rivelando la presenza di una barra di stelle che ruota lentamente.

La barra di NGC 6951 potrebbe essere responsabile di un'altra caratteristica notevole: un anello bianco-blu che racchiude il cuore della galassia. Si tratta di un anello di starburst circumnucleare, essenzialmente un cerchio di formazione stellare intensificata attorno al nucleo di una galassia. La barra incanala il gas verso il centro della galassia, dove si raccoglie in un anello di circa 3800 anni luce di diametro. Due scie di polvere scura che corrono parallele alla barra segnano i punti in cui il gas proveniente dalla barra entra nell'anello.

Il gas denso di un anello circumnucleare di starburst è l'ambiente perfetto per produrre un numero impressionante di stelle. Utilizzando i dati del telescopio Hubble, gli astronomi hanno identificato più di 80 potenziali ammassi stellari all'interno dell'anello di NGC 6951. Molte delle stelle si sono formate meno di 100 milioni di anni fa, ma l'anello stesso è più longevo, essendo potenzialmente esistito per 1-1,5 miliardi di anni.

The #Hubble Space Telescope was originally slated to launch in 1983, but construction delays pushed it to 1986, only for the Challenger disaster to halt shuttle flights indefinitely. Meanwhile, the finished telescope sat in a pristine clean room, kept powered and purged with nitrogen at a staggering $6 million per month, waiting for a safe ride into orbit. After years of patient stewardship, Hubble finally launched in 1990, beginning its decades-long mission of transforming our view of the cosmos. #WP

Neptune’s New ‘Great Dark Spot’: What’s Inside?
2025-10-01

If you surveyed the solar neighborhood, the most common type of star would be the smallest — red dwarfs. We have found many rocky planets orbiting these cool, red stars.

But do these planets have atmospheres? One problem is that these stars are very active, meaning they send out X-rays and flares, blasting the planets that orbit them.

The Rocky Worlds Director’s Discretionary Time program has 500 hours of JWST time plus 250 HST orbits to help answer that question. They want to know if there is a line that separates exoplanets with and without atmospheres — called the "cosmic shoreline".

Hubble image of Arp 297, also known as NGC 5754 and NGC 5752.

NGC 5754, the large spiral galaxy, has kinked arms just beyond its inner ring. They are a result of interactions with its companion galaxy, NGC 5752, the smaller galaxy at bottom left. The same interactions triggered a starburst in NGC 5752, creating bright star clusters around its core.

A pair of galaxies, a large face-on barred spiral galaxy and a smaller edge-on disk galaxy. The upper portion of the frame is dominated by the spiral galaxy NGC 5754. It has a bright, pale yellow, circular core that transitions into an almost vertical bar structure. Two well-defined spiral arms circle around the core counter-clockwise, beginning at the ends of the bar. The arms both complete one revolution around the core and then fade out. They are dotted with pale blue star clusters. At about 5 and 7 o'clock on the bottom of the galaxy, the spiral arms have small kinks, creating what looks like straight segments in the otherwise smoothly curving arms. Overall, the galaxy looks a little like a cinnamon roll. In the bottom left corner of the frame is the smaller companion galaxy NGC 5752. It is oval-shaped, with the long axis almost vertical, running parallel to the bar of the large spiral. On a background of pale yellow stars is a line of blue dots, which are star clusters, running through the long axis in the center of the galaxy. Below this is a dark brown dust lane.

Di giallo e di blu: vecchie e giovani stelle splendono in NGC 6000

#hubble @astronomia

Stelle di tutte le età sono in mostra in questa foto del telescopio spaziale Hubble della NASA/ESA. Questa scintillante galassia a spirale si chiama NGC 6000 e si trova a 102 milioni di anni luce di distanza nella costellazione dello Scorpione.

umbertogaetani.substack.com/p/

Questa galassia ha un centro giallo brillante e una periferia blu scintillante. I colori riflettono le differenze nell'età media, nella massa e nella temperatura delle stelle della galassia. Nel cuore della galassia, le stelle tendono ad essere più vecchie e più piccole. Le stelle meno massicce sono più fredde di quelle più massicce e, contrariamente a quanto si potrebbe pensare, le stelle più fredde sono più rosse, mentre quelle più calde sono più blu. Più lontano, lungo i bracci a spirale di NGC 6000, brillanti ammassi stellari ospitano giovani stelle massicce che appaiono distintamente blu.

Hubble ha raccolto i dati per questa immagine mentre osservava i siti delle recenti esplosioni di supernova nelle galassie vicine. NGC 6000 ha ospitato due recenti supernove: SN 2007ch nel 2007 e SN 2010as nel 2010. Utilizzando i sensibili rilevatori di Hubble, i ricercatori sono in grado di discernere il debole bagliore delle supernove anni dopo l'esplosione iniziale. Queste osservazioni aiutano a limitare le masse delle stelle progenitrici delle supernove e possono indicare se avevano delle compagne stellari.

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.

Frame is split down the middle: Hubble’s visible light image at left, and Webb’s near-infrared image at right. Both show the Egg at left and the Penguin at right. In Hubble’s view, the Penguin is highly detailed, with a bright blue beak, body, and tail that is covered in an arc of bright brown dust. The Egg, to its left, appears bright, gleaming yellowish white. At top right is another galaxy seen from the side, about as long as the Egg’s height. Dozens of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Webb’s near-infrared image shows the Penguin’s beak, head, and back in shades of pink. It’s tail-like region is more diffuse, and a mix of lighter pinks and blues. The Egg appears slightly larger in blue layers. A semi-transparent blue forms an upside down U over top of both galaxies. At top right, an edge-on galaxy has many more pinpricks of light, which are stars. Thousands of galaxies and stars appear in the background. Some galaxies are shades of orange, while others are white.

A greyscale image of face-on spiral galaxy. In the center is a small bar structure.  A single large blue spiral arm begins at the top and curves counter-clockwise from about the 11 o'clock to 9 o'clock positions. This gives the galaxy a teardrop-shape with a curved end, so that it resembles a paisley. Dark dust lanes, star clusters are scattered throughout the galaxy.
