IC410 Tadpoles and IC405 Flaming Star Nebulae - From Ryan Kinnett (rkinnett.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2pk8ZPP
Witness a breathtaking solar plasma rain larger than Earth, captured over 9 hours by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. A reminder of the immense power of our Sun.
Happy 04/20✨️😎✌️
A bright foreground star can’t outshine the grandeur of galaxy UGC 3855.
Young blue stars are scattered along its spiral arms, contrasted and complemented by dark dust lanes tracing the galaxy’s structure.

Back in July 2015 New Horizons sent us the first really close shots of Pluto and its moons. The team took that real data plus digital elevation models and turned them into these cool flyover videos — basically letting us “fly” over the surface closer than the spacecraft itself ever did. This still comes from the "Soaring over Pluto" flyover. You’re looking at tall water-ice mountains rising up from the big smooth plains of frozen nitrogen in Sputnik Planitia. The colors are mostly burnt brown and bright white, with some orange patches and darker rough areas off in the distance.

Ever get that weirdly satisfying feeling when something finally goes way past its original plan?
Well, #NewHorizons just did exactly that. After 20+ years since launch, it's now farther from Pluto than it was back in 2006.
Really wild when you think about it.🔭 🧪 ⚛️

A tightly cropped Hubble view of a vast star-forming region known as the Trifid Nebula. The top left is bright blue. Brown and amber colours run from top right through the center in irregular, overlapping lines to the bottom-center. At bottom right, the view is almost black. Tiny, amber-coloured stars appear throughout the scene. Toward the left there is a prominent brown shape that looks like a head with two horns. The left horn points left and is wavy. The right horn is triangular and points up. The brown dust continues, flowing down, as if along a back, and up toward the top right. A prominent line, about the same length as the left horn, appears below the middle of the body, and changes from orange to red. A small, separate semi-transparent pillar is left of the head. A few slightly larger, blue foreground stars with four diffraction spikes appear in the bottom half. Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI. Image processing: J. DePasquale (STScI)
🎂 Hubble gets ready for its 36th anniversary this 24 April with a dazzling image of the Trifid Nebula 🤩
The telescope looked at a scene it first observed in 1997, capturing changes over incredibly short cosmic timescales 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl...

A Marvelous Monday✨️💫✨️
And a Wonderful Week ahead✨️☺️🖖

A face-on barred spiral galaxy anchored by its central region. It has a bright white circular area surrounded by a lighter pinkish diagonal bar structure made of a haze of stars, which forms an angled oval toward the top. Two distinct spiral arms made of stars, gas, and reddish brown filamentary dust lanes start at the center and extend outward, rotating clockwise. The outer spiral arms are made of many yellow clusters of stars. The background of space beyond the galaxy appears black. There are some large blue and red points of light surrounding the galaxy. A white box outlines the center part of the galaxy. An insert shows the X-ray only light from the area covered by the box. In the insert are blue points of light and a blue haze on a black background. The blue haze roughly corresponds to the location of the galaxy’s bar in images taken at other wavelengths. A series of bright blue points are at the center of the hazy structure.
Composite image of Arp 16, also known as M66.

An astronaut floats alone above Earth during a spacewalk, surrounded by the blackness of space, with the blue curve of the planet visible below.
This iconic 1984 photo is often called one of the most terrifying space images ever.
During STS-41-B on Space Shuttle Challenger, astronaut Bruce McCandless II became the first person to perform an untethered spacewalk.
