Ribbons of dust festoon the galaxy NGC 613 in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope. NGC 613 is classified as a barred spiral galaxy for the bar-shaped band of stars and dust crossing its intensely glowing center. About two-thirds of spiral galaxies show a characteristic bar shape like NGC 613 – our own galaxy appears to have one of these bars through its midline as well.
As with nearly all spiral galaxies, a monstrous black hole resides at the heart of NGC 613. Its mass is estimated at about 10 times that of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole and it is consuming stars, gas and dust.

Look I found a space ship! We had a blast today hitting the #naturalhistorymuseum and while we were there jumped over to checkout the #shuttleendeavour #nasa – had to eat at @figueroaphilly for the #best #phillycheesesteak in #losangeles !! Great day! @annasfitlife @equiss_ @jurflo by exploring_1_life

Here’s why Microsoft shouldn’t launch an Xbox ‘set top box’ #gadget #latepost #instatech #electronics #photooftheday #2016 #newyear #followme #loveit #technology #hightech #newidea #invent #NASA # #like4like #newidieas #innovation #smartphone #iphone #headset #xbox #game #gamezone #2016 Before the Xbox One launched in 2013, there was some talk of an inexpensive alternative device shipping alongside the main console. Besides a minor Xbox 360 refresh, nothing of the sort ever came out, but a similar rumor has surfaced yet again recently. And after thoroughly mulling over this set-top-Xbox concept, I’m convinced that it’s a terrible idea. by mysupergadgets

Thanks to @astrophysics_

This beautiful image shows a region located within the Orion Nebula. This complex region of the Orion Nebula contains both emission and reflection nebula. Located just above the centre of the image is the variable star LL Orionis some 1,500 light years away. This relatively young star produces a stellar wind far more energetic than the stellar wind produced by the sun. The fast moving winds from LL Orionis interacts with the surrounding gas, producing a shock front. The arcing structure located just left of LL Orionis is this shock front that the star is producing. As LL Orionis moves through the Orion Nebula, it creates beautiful shockwaves that produce stunning structures like the arc seen in the image.

What’s your favourite nebula?
