stephan's quintet.

southern ring planetary nebula (ngc 3132) and its two stars.

This is definitely the way to compare the new James Webb images to the old (but beautiful!) Hubble. Interactive sliders work way better than the separate side by sides I've seen everywhere!

I went with a large group of people on a vacation to the moon for a few days. It was very trippy watching the earth from space, and while looking at Stephan's quintet, I remembered being there on the moon millions of years ago doing the same thing...

A Quintet of Galaxies - November 15th, 1995.

"Five closely grouped galaxies are visible in this image made using the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1 meter telescope. The grouping is commonly known as Stephan's Quintet. Four of the galaxies show essentially the same redshift, suggesting that they are at the same distance from us. The large bluish spiral below and left of the center actually has a smaller redshift than the others, indicating it is much closer. It is probably a foreground object which happens to lie along the line of sight to the more distant galaxies. Of the four distant galaxies, three seem to be colliding, showing serious distortions due to gravitational tidal forces. The fourth is a normal appearing elliptical galaxy (at the lower right edge of the field). Collisions play an important role in the life cycles of galaxies."

‘THE UNIVERSE AS NOBODY HAS SEEN IT YET’ IMAGES BY NASA, ESA, CSA, AND STSCI

Pictured at top, the “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars are actually the edge of a nearby, star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Above, Stephan’s Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies, is Webb’s largest image to date.

Above, a side-by-side comparison shows the Southern Ring Nebula in near-infrared light, at left, and mid-infrared light.

Now we have Stephan's Quintet. A group of five galaxies so close that some are beginning to merge! Again taken with both near and mid infered.

This new image of Stephan's Quintet from the James Webb Telescope looks like Porygon 2. There, I said it.

as a kid who wanted to touch the stars only to grow up and realize all that you loved was a memory of a universe long gone, to realize how far it was from your outstretched hand, it is breath taking to hold these images in the palm of your hand ... it is enough to make a man weep

here together

Stephan’s Quintet :: James Webb Space Telescope

"There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars."

~Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

(full poem below)

On Earth, just a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh six billion tons. Six billion tons equals the collective weight of every animal on earth. Including the insects. Times three.

Six billion tons sounds impossible until I consider how it is to swallow grief— just a teaspoon and one might as well have consumed a neutron star. How dense it is, how it carries inside it the memory of collapse. How difficult it is to move then. How impossible to believe that anything could lift that weight.

There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars. One is that we cannot see what anyone else has swallowed.
