Futuristic advertising poster for tourism on Trappist-1e - Illustration - Futuristic Advert for tourism on Trappist-1e - Illustration: Advertising promoting tourism on Trappist-1e. This exoplanet is orbiting in the habitable zone of the star system TRAPPIST-1, a red dwarf star located at a distance of about 40 light years from the Sun in the constellation Aquarius. At least seven exoplanets the size of the Earth orbit this star. Some 40 light-years from Earth, a planet called Trappist-1e offers a heart-stopping view: brilliant objects in a red sky, looming like larger and smaller versions of our own moon. But these are no moons. They are Earth-sized planets in a spectacular planetary system outside our own. These seven rocky worlds huddle around their small, dim, red star, like a family around a campfire. Any of them could harbor liquid water, but the planet shown here, fourth from the TRAPPIST-1 star, is in the habitable zone, the area around the star where liquid water is most likely

Spiral galaxy M81 in the Great Bear - Spiral galaxy M81 in Ursa Major - The spiral galaxy M81 is located 12 million years ago - light from Earth. Its arms are home to star-forming regions while its core is surrounded by much older yellow stars. An irregular dwarf galaxy, PGC 28757 (Holmberg IX), is visible at the top of the picture. M81 is the brightest member of the nearby galactic group called the M81 group. This group contains at least 25 other members including the peculiar starburst galaxy M82, the peculiar galaxy NGC 3077 and many dwarfs galaxies. The core galaxies of the group (M81, M82, NGC 3077, NGC 2976) are strongly interacting and are all imbedded within a large and extended molecular gas cloud. The Dwarf irregular Holmberg IX (seen above M81 in the image) most likely condensed from tidal debri existing between M81 and M82. M81 has the distinction of being the nearest spiral galaxy to have an active galactic nucleus (AGN). AGN galaxies are luminous galaxies that demonstrate

Planetary nebula IC 418 dans le Lievre/HST - IC 418: The “” Spirograph” Nebula Glowing like a multi - faceted jewel, the planetary nebula IC 418 lies about 2,000 light - years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Lepus. This photograph is from Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope, obtained with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2. A planetary nebula represents the final stage in the evolution of a star similar to our Sun. The star at the center of IC 418 was a red giant a few thousand years ago, but then ejected its outer layers into space to form the nebula, which has now expanded to a diameter of about 0.1 light - year. The stellar remnant at the center is the hot core of the red giant, from which ultraviolet radiation floods out into the surrounding gas, causing it to fluoresce. Over the next several thousand years, the nebula will gradually disperse into space, and then the star will cool and fade away for billions of years as a white dwarf. Our own Sun is expected to undergo a

In this image the nova appeared on August 18, 2005 is visible. The Dumbbell Nebula (M27, NGC6853), is a planetary nebula located about 1200 light years from the earth in the constellation of Vulpecula. The nebula was formed when an evolved, red giant star ejected its outer envelope near the end of its lifetime. The expanding cloud of gas becomes visible once the hot core of the star, visible near the center, is exposed and the high-energy, ultraviolet light from the core ionizes the cloud. On the evening of August 17- 18, 2005, two European astronomers simultaneously discovered a new star in the Dumbbell Nebula. This image is a portrait of the Dumbbell Nebula featuring the 2005 nova.

Motion of the Star Proxima of Centauri - The proper motion of Proxima Centauri - Proxima of Centauri (in the center of the image) is the closest star to the Sun, located at a distance of 4.2 years - light. This star is a red dwarf, 10,000 times less luminous than our Sun, and is invisible to the naked eye. Its proximity makes it move quickly ahead of the other stars. This composite image made from three images taken in 1976 (blue), 1982 (red) and 1993 (green) shows the shift of the star in 17 years. Image obtained from the 1.2m Schmidt UK telescope of Siding Spring. Proxima Centauri is the nearest known star to the sun, at a distance of about 4.2 light years. It is an intrinsically faint red star, more than ten magnitudes (ten thousand times) fainter than the Sun. It is also much cooler, with a surface temperature of about 3100 C. Its visual (apparent) magnitude is eleven, so it is only visible with a good telescope, and only then from southern latitudes. Proxima is about one - tenth t

Spiral galaxy M81 in the Great Bear - Spiral galaxy M81 in Ursa Major - The spiral galaxy M81 is located 12 million years ago - light from Earth. Its arms are home to star-forming regions while its core is surrounded by much older yellow stars. In the background at the top, an irregular dwarf galaxy, Holmberg IX. This image obtained by a 50 cm amateur telescope, in February 2010 for 23 hours of poses, shows gas filaments whose origin is uncertain. Located about 12 million light - years from our planet, M81 (NGC 3031) together with M82 (NGC 3034), NGC 3077 and NGC 2976 forms one of the most iconic groups of interacting galaxies. The M81 group has also been the subject of many studies searching for and analyzing evidence of strong interactions among its components. In 1965, Halton Arp detected an unusual looping feature near M81 while examining photographic plates produced with the 48 - inch Schmidt on Mount Palomar. Traditionally, ARP's loop has been interpreted as a tail resulting from

Centaurus A Elliptical Galaxy (NGC 5128) in the Centaur - Galaxy Centaurus A - The NGC 5128 galaxy is about 13 million years away - light from Earth. This image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1998 shows the star flames that occur in the dark band of the galaxy. In blue, these are the clusters of newly shaped young stars. At the top left, a photo of the galaxy obtained from the ground. This giant galaxy is a powerful radio source known as Centaurus A. It is an active galaxy whose energy comes from a supermassive black hole. NGC 5128 is the nearest large elliptical galaxies to our sun. It is also the nearest of the giant radio galaxies, possessing an active galactic nucleus (AGN) and optically one of the most luminous galaxies in the sky. Among many other things NGC 5128 is also the prototypical postmerger elliptical galaxy. Structural peculiarities including the prominent rotating disk of stars and gas and the complex shell structure of its halo point to a large scale merger

Globular cluster NGC 6401 in Ophiuchus - Globular cluster NGC 6401 in Ophiuchus - The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has used its powerful optics to separate the globular cluster NGC 6401 into its constituent stars. What was once only visible as a ghostly mist in the eyepieces of astronomical instruments has been transformed into a stunning stellar landscape. NGC 6401 can be found within the constellation of Ophiuchus (The Serpent Bearer). The globular cluster itself is relatively faint, so a telescope and some observational experience are required to see it. Globular clusters are very rich, and generally spherical, collections of stars, hence the name. They orbit the cores of galaxies, with the force of gravity also keeping the stars bound as a group. There are around 160 globular clusters associated with our Milky Way, of which NGC 6401 is one. These objects are very old, containing some of the most ancient stars known. However, there are many mysteries surrounding them, with the or

Planetary nebula NGC 2818 - Planetary nebula NGC 2818 in Pyxis - The open cluster NGC 2818A in the southern constellation of the Compsole is distinguished by the fact that most of its bright stars have already become supernovae; this indicates that this cluster must be very old, perhaps a billion years. It has a planetary nebula, NGC 2818, photographed here by the Hubble space telescope in November 2008. A planetary nebula is an end-of-life star. NGC 2818 (also called PLN 261+8.1) is located about 10,000 light years from Earth. The unique planetary nebula NGC 2818 is nested inside the open star cluster NGC 2818A. Both the cluster and the nebula reside over 10,000 light - years away, in the southern constellation Pyxis (the Compasss). NGC 2818 is one of very few planetary nebulae in our galaxy located within an open cluster. Open clusters, in general, are loosely bound and they disperse over hundreds of millions of years.

Planetary nebula M57 (NGC 6720) in Lyra - The Ring nebula M57 in Lyra - The planetary nebula of Lyra (M57) is located about 2000 years - light from Earth. A planetary nebula is a gas shell from a small late-life star whose heart collapsed to become a white dwarf and expelled the outer layers of its matter. Image obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope and the Large Binocular Telescope. In this composite image, visible - light observations by Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope are combined with infrared data from the ground - based Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona to assemble a dramatic view of the well - known Ring Nebula. Called a planetary nebula, the Ring Nebula is the glowing remains of a Sun - like star. The object is tilted towards Earth so that astronomers see the ring face - on. The Hubble observations reveal that the nebula's shape is more complicated than astronomers thought. The blue gas in the nebula's center is actually a football - shaped structure that pierces the red doug

Flying Star Zeta Ophiuchi - Runaway Star Zeta Ophiuchi - The blue star near the center of the image is Zeta Ophiuchi, a very massive star moving at 24 km per second. It is a “” fleeing star”, a star ejected by the explosion of his companion star. In this infrared image obtained by the WISE (Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer) satellite, the interstellar dust traversed by the star appears, as well as an arc-shaped shock wave caused by the powerful stellar winds that the star breaks. The blue star near the center of this image is Zeta Ophiuchi. When seen in visible light it appears as a relatively dim red star surrounded by other dim stars and no dust. However, in this infrared image taken with Nasa's Wide - field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, a completely different view emerges. Zeta Ophiuchi is actually a very massive, hot, bright blue star plowing its way through a large cloud of interstellar dust and gas. Astronomers theorize that this stellar juggernaut was likely once part

Planetary nebula NGC 6537 in Sagittarius - Hubble observations have revealed huge waves sculpted in the Red Spider nebula. This warm and windy planetary nebula harbours one of the hottest stars in the Universe and its powerful stellar winds generate waves 100 billion kilometers high - intimidating for even the bravest space surfers. The Red Spider Nebula, NGC 6537, is a striking 'butterfly' or bipolar (two - lobed) planetary nebula. Planetary nebulae are the glowing embers of ordinary stars, such as our Sun. At the end of their lives these stars expel most of their material into space, often forming a two - lobed structure as in the case of the Red Spider. These waves are driven by stellar winds radiating from the hot central star, much as a wind passing over a lake can generate waves on the water. The waves reach peaks 100 billion kilometers high and must have been produced by a powerful wind blowing with a speed of 2000 - 4500 kilometers per second (about 7 - 16 million km/hr). The w

Centaur Omega globular cluster - NGC 5139 Omega Centauri globular cluster - Visible to the naked eye in the southern hemisphere, Centaurus Omega is the most massive globular cluster in the galaxy. About 17,000 light years ago, millions of stars nearly 12 billion years old are concentrated here. This image obtained by the Spitzer space telescope reveals in yellow and red the big red stars, whose dust radiates infrared, and in blue the smaller and less evoluted stars. Omega Centauri is the biggest and brightest of the more than 150 similar objects, called globular clusters, that orbit around the outside of our Milky Way galaxy. Stargazers at southern latitudes can spot the stellar gem with the naked eye in the constellation Centaurus. While the visible - light observations highlight the cluster's millions of jam - packed stars, Spitzer's infrared eyes reveal the dustier, more evolved stars tossed throughout the region.
