Three galaxies visible from space with the Milky Way and many stars.

A close-in view of a spiral galaxy that faces the viewer. Brightly lit spiral arms swing outward through the galaxy’s disk, starting from an elliptical region in its center. Thick strands of dark reddish dust spread across the disk, primarily along the spiral arms. The arms also contain many glowing, pink-red spots where stars form and clumps of bright-blue star clusters. Beyond its spiral arms, the galaxy is a bit fainter and speckled with blue stars.

it’s SO exciting to see images from a spacecraft you work on, even if they’re just test images πŸ₯Ή

this is a starfield image from europa clipper, including the planet uranus! it was taken to test clipper’s star-tracking cameras!!

The Pleiades and Orion in a starry sky. The Pleiades is visible near the top of the image and Orion is visible at the bottom towards the left.

4 dust shells expand away from 3 central stars that appear as a single pinpoint of light. The innermost shell is smallest, like the size of a thumbprint, and brightest. It is yellow and forms a backward lowercase e. A line at 3 o’clock swoops to the bottom-left in an arc that ends at 8 o’clock. A second line at 9 o’clock dips down to start, but then goes straight up, angling around the top. The 2nd shell, about the size of a fist, is orange and has looser arcs. One appears from 4 to 7 o’clock. A brighter orange triangle appears from 10 to 12 o’clock. Its outer edges overlap, forming a rough circle. The third shell extends almost to the edges and is semi-translucent red, with similar arcs and a darker red line that also forms a faint triangle at top left. The widest shell is faintest and at the edges. A semi-transparent blue appears across the scene. A larger foreground star with spikes is at bottom left, and more distant stars and galaxies are strewn across the black expanse of space.

Hubble’s image shows thick orange clouds of dust forming a cross shape around a star in the center.

Webb’s image reveals many stars hidden behind the dust clouds of a nebula, which appear as translucent blue loops that meet at the center.

A starry night sky with a few noticeable features: Jupiter appears in the bottom left as a bright white dot, the Pleiades star cluster is at the very top towards the center, and Orion is towards the bottom on the right. There is also a silhouette of a person on the bottom right corner.

An oval-shaped spiral galaxy. Only the center and lower half of the galaxy is in frame. Its center is primarily golden in color with a white glowing core, while its thick spiral arms are mostly blue, particularly at the outskirts; these colors merge in between. Dark lanes of dust swirl through the center, blocking some of the galaxy’s light. Stars and distant galaxies are visible around the edges on a black background.

Astronomers from the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have created one of the largest low-frequency radio colour images of the Milky Way ever assembled. This spectacular new image captures the Southern Hemisphere view of the Galactic Plane – the disk of our Galaxy, which appears to human eyes as the glowing band of the Milky Way – now revealed across a wide range of radio wavelengths, or β€˜colours’ of radio light.

This is what the band of the Milky Way would look like at night if your eyes could see radio waves. A hidden beauty.

It's a new image created by the Murchison Widefield Array, which scanned the sky in 20 radio "colors" over frequencies from 72 to 231 megahertz. πŸ§ͺπŸ”­
