Realistically speaking (yes, realistically) how much do you believe a #spacecruise out to Messier 27 would be worth? What would the industry demand 'be' if affordable space travel or corporate events to such destinations were possible (in our lifetime)? #newscience #postquantum #warpdrive #postwarpdrive #CTPGravityDrive

Time-lapse: Evolution of R Aquarii Binary Star System (2014 to 2023) | Hubble FriendsofNASA.org: This video features five frames spanning from 2014 to 2023 of R Aquarii, a symbiotic binary star that lies only roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Aquarius. This is a type of binary star system consisting of a white dwarf and a red giant that is surrounded by a large, dynamic nebula. These frames show the brightness of the central binary changing over time due to strong pulsations in the red giant star. The central structures can also be seen to be spiraling outwards due to their interaction with material previously ejected by the binary. This time-lapse highlights the value of Hubble’s high resolution optical observations in the changing Universe, known as time-domain astronomy. Credit: NASA, European Space Agency, M. Stute, M.

Globular Star Cluster Messier 2 in Aquarius: Largest of its Kind | Hubble FriendsofNASA.org | High-res image: https://lnkd.in/gzedKEju Star clusters are commonly featured in cosmic photoshoots, and are also well-loved by the keen eye of the NASA/European Space Agency Hubble Space Telescope. These large gatherings of celestial gems are striking sights—and the subject of this picture, Messier 2, is certainly no exception. Messier 2 is located in the constellation of Aquarius (The Water-Bearer), about 55,000 light-years away. It is a globular cluster, a spherical group of stars all tightly bound together by gravity. With a diameter of roughly 175 light-years, a population of 150,000 stars, and an age of 13 billion years, Messier 2 is one of the largest clusters of its kind and one of the oldest associated with the Milky Way. Most of the cluster’s mass is concentrated at its center with shimmering streams of stars extending outwards into space. It is bright enough that it can even be seen with the naked eye when observing conditions are extremely good. Credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, G. Piotto et al.

Location of Young Star 177-341 W in Orion Nebula | Hubble & VLT Views FriendsofNASA.org: The young stellar object 177-341 W, as seen with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT, top inset) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST, bottom inset). This object is located in the Orion Nebula, shown here in the background as seen with the VLT Survey telescope. The VLT’s adaptive optics facility corrects the blur caused by atmospheric turbulence. The VLT image is the sharpest ever taken of this object. It appears in a new paper led by Mari-Liis Aru (ESO) presenting MUSE observations of many proplyds in Orion. It will help astronomers understand how stars and planetary systems form in these stellar nurseries. Credit: European Southern Observatory (ESO)/M. L. Aru et al./R. O'Dell/G.

The Challenges of Studying Exoplanets | James Webb Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered so far, prompting an abundance of questions about these distant worlds that orbit stars outside our solar system. This video explores how the James Webb Space Telescope is advancing our understanding of exoplanets, and the current challenges astronomers encounter when studying these planetary bodies. Within its first few years, Webb has studied a variety of exoplanets, including gas giant exoplanet WASP-39 b and rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b. With each exoplanet observation, the telescope is broadening astronomers’ knowledge about the universe. Since exoplanets are distant and faint worlds, astronomers have developed scientific tools and innovative techniques to overcome certain observational obstacles. Although limitations still exist, even with current telescope technology, Webb is just getting started and scientists continue to learn more about exoplanets every day!

Dwarf 'Starburst' Galaxy NGC 4449 | James Webb Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: The James Webb Space Telescope captured this image of “starburst” galaxy NGC 4449. Starbursts are intense periods of star formation usually concentrated at a galaxy’s core. However, NGC 4449’s activity is much more widespread—likely due to past interactions with its galactic neighbors. Astronomers can study this galaxy to look into the past. NGC 4449 is similar to early star-forming galaxies that also grew by merging with other systems. Distance: 12.5 million light-years away Image Description: This is a close view of the central area of a dwarf galaxy. A huge number of stars fill the entire galaxy as tiny glowing points. They are brightest around the galaxy’s shining core. Thick clouds of gas and dust billow out across the scene, curling like moving flames. They glow in warm colors following their location: orange around the galaxy’s core, and around glowing star clusters in the bottom-left, and dark red elsewhere. Image Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, A.

Evolution of Planet Saturn's Ring Tilt (2018-2024) | Hubble Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This is a series of Hubble Space Telescope images of the planet Saturn taken between 2018 and 2024. The sequence shows how the tilt of the magnificent ring system changes relative to the view from Earth, as Saturn orbits the Sun. Approximately every 15 years the relatively paper-thin rings (about one mile thick) can be seen edge-on. In 2018, they were near their maximum tilt toward Earth. These images were taken under a Hubble program called Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL). Credits: Science: NASA, European Space Agency, Amy Simon (NASA-GSFC), Michael H.

Pan over Star Cluster NGC 6440 | James Webb Space Telescope FriendsofNASA.org: This image from the NASA/European Space Agency/Canadian Space Agency James Webb Space Telescope features NGC 6440, a globular cluster that resides roughly 28,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Sagittarius. The object was first discovered by William Herschel in May 1786. Globular clusters like NGC 6440 are roughly spherical, tightly packed, collections of old stars bound together by gravity. They can be found throughout galaxies, but often live on the outskirts. They hold hundreds of thousands to millions of stars that are on average about one light-year apart, but they can be as close together as the size of our Solar System. NGC 6440 is known to be a high-mass and metal-rich cluster that formed and is orbiting within the Galactic bulge. It is a dense, near-spherical region of old stars in the inner part of the Milky Way. This image was obtained with 2023 data from Webb’s Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) as part of an observation program to explore the stars in the cluster and to investigate details of the cluster’s pulsars. A pulsar is a highly magnetized, rotating neutron star that emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation from their magnetic poles. To us, that beam appears as a short burst or pulse as the star rotates. Pulsars spin extremely fast. Astronomers have clocked the fastest pulsars at more than 716 rotations per second, but a pulsar could theoretically rotate as fast as 1500 rotations per second before slowly losing energy or breaking apart.
