M44 is one of the closest star clusters to earth. It’s called the Beehive because it looks like a swarm of bees. The cluster is located in the weak constellation of Cancer, close to the Gemini twins. This was one of the first objects Galileo looked at with his new telescope. #amazing #amazing_longexpo #astronomia #astronomy #astrophoto #astro_photography_#astrophotography #astropicsdaily #awesome #bestoftheday #deepsky #deepspace #hubble #instadaily #longexposure #nasa #nightscape #nightsky #photooftheday #picoftheday #sky #space #star #stargazing #stars #starviewig #themilkyway #telescope #universe #universetoday by astropicsdaily

Orion Nebula

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?

Enceladus looks as though it is half lit by sunlight in this view from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, but looks can be deceiving. The area on the right, where surface features can be made out, are actually illuminated by light reflected off of Saturn. A sliver of surface illuminated by direct sunlight is visible on the left.

Images like this one are designed to capture the extended plume of icy material spraying from the moon’s south polar region. Such images need to be taken with Cassini looking toward the icy moon’s night side, since the small particles in the plume are most easily seen when backlit by the sun.

This view looks toward the leading hemisphere of Enceladus and was taken in visible light with Cassini’s narrow-angle camera on May 10, 2015. Enceladus is 313 miles (504 kilometers) across.

Our Curiosity Mars rover rounds Martian dune to get to the other side. Curiosity, partway through the first up-close study ever conducted of extraterrestrial sand dunes, is providing dramatic views of a dune’s steep face, where cascading sand has sculpted very different textures than the wavy ripples visible on the dune’s windward slope.

This Dec. 18, 2015, view of the downwind face of „Namib Dune“ on Mars covers 360 degrees, including a portion of Mount Sharp on the horizon.
