First light from ESA's new Euclid space telescope with an ultra high-res, wide-angle lens to map the structures of the universe, helping astronomers study dark matter/energy.

Perseus Cluster of Galaxies

This Moon-sized patch of sky looks back ten billion light-years and shows about 100,000 galaxies, plus some stars from our own galaxy (points with diffraction spikes).

The cluster's Y shape reveals the gravitational influence of dark matter filaments, the web of the universe which until now was too big to fit in any telescope's view.

The Hidden Galaxy (IC 342)

Euclid took only 5 hours to peer through the thickest part of our own galaxy edge-on and capture this galaxy hidden behind it.

Its spiral shape gives us an idea what the Milky Way would look like from above. The image is false color: red has been shifted towards blue so infrared can be shifted up to red we can see.

Irregular Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6822

Just 1.6 million light-years from Earth, this little companion to the Milky Way is so close that until now it could only be captured in low res by ground telescopes or zoomed in to just one small part by Webb or Hubble.

It has a lot of old, low-metal, first-generation stars that can help astronomers study the universe's history.

Globular Star Cluster NGC 6397

It looks similar to a dwarf galaxy, but is much smaller and closer at just 7800 light-years away, and it's within the Milky Way. Perturbations of its outer stars in streaks and waves give clues about gravitational interactions within the Milky Way.

Again, other telescopes can't see the whole cluster in any detail, both because of its size and the high contrast between the bright center and faint outer stars, which would take Hubble hours to capture. Euclid imaged both in just an hour.

The Horsehead Nebula

This smear of dust lies in the larger star-forming region of the Orion Nebula just below Orion's belt. It's one of the most busy star nurseries in our vicinity, just 1375 light-years away.

Euclid's resolution is such that close study of this one-hour exposure should reveal many baby stars, brown dwarfs, and young Jupiter-mass planets.

Observing The Beautiful 💫 ANDROMEDA CONSTELLATION in Space

#shorts #andromeda #constellation #space

To Watch The Video of Observing The Andromeda Constellation visit my Youtube Channel @InfinityASTRONOMERICA

About the Video :

The Andromeda constellation consists of 16 stars visible in the northern sky. Named by ancient Greeks after the mythological Andromeda princess, the constellation contains the Andromeda Galaxy, the nearest full-fledged galaxy to our own Milky Way.

It is a barred spiral galaxy and is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky Way. It was originally named the Andromeda Nebula and is cataloged as Messier 31, M31, and NGC 224. Andromeda has a diameter of about 46.56 kiloparsecs (152,000 light-years) and is approximately 765 kpc (2.5 million light-years) from Earth. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology.

Day 6: The Sun Is Fucking Terrifying

I remember I had a book for kids about space that literally said "the sun is monstrously big" I didn't understand at that time but it planted a seed in me and now i'm scared of the sun. Just one of these filaments is probably many times the size of the Earth.

Happy birthday Donnie!

So this is a collaborative gift from April and me since I told her my dad works at Northrop Grumman and once in a grand while he will come home with some free commemorative swag. Most of it is a bunch of pins and coins and April said you’d love something from James Webb so the pin is from her. (Funny enough I’ve seen the James Webb in person twice I just wish I knew where the pictures I have went)

But anyway while I was looking through the stuff I saw these coins for the Chadra x-ray observatory and one for the aura satellite, so I thought I’d give you one of each as my own gift to you.

I hope you enjoy your birthday presents from April and me. And again, happy birthday!

I must be dreaming.

Merch from the James Webb Telescope???

James Webb is able to see a much larger portion of the infrared spectrum than Hubble & collects six times more light, which helps us to see through dust & practically MAP THE UNIVERSE!!!

It complements & extends Hubble's observations!

You are so lucky to have seen James Webb in person & I can only hope you'll hold that memory dear. If you EVER find those pictures - I will be delighted to see them!

And Chandra???

The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the most powerful X-ray telescope.

It has eight-times greater resolution & is able to detect sources more than 20-times fainter than any previous X-ray telescope!

It has done A LOT for the research about black holes!

Thank you both so much!! @turtle-sister-april 💜🥺
