NASA’s Webb Rounds Out Picture of Sombrero Galaxy’s Disk
The new image of the famous Sombrero galaxy in near-infrared wavelengths shows dust from the outer ring blocking stellar light from the inner portions of the galaxy.

How the Milky Way-Andromeda merger became so uncertain
Andromeda is moving towards us at 109 km/s, from a distance of 2.5 million light-years away.
That doesn't mean a collision-and-merger in 4 billion years, but it will happen.
Eventually.

It's not quite #Leo season yet, but it's always the time for NGC 3447 -- two interacting galaxies located 60 million miles away in the #constellation Leo.

There's a 50:50 chance our galaxy won't crash into our largest neighbour
By Ellen Phiddian
A new study challenges predictions our home galaxy the Milky Way will crash into the Andromeda galaxy in 5 billion years.
Collision course? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/will-the-milky-way-and-andromeda-galaxies-ever-collide/ If it occurs (and models are giving probabilities between 30% and 50%) it will be in about 8 BILLION years. #galaxies #collision #andromeda #milkyway
Milky Way–Andromeda collision: an update
Sharing the following as part of this post.
First is the unprocessed image of this morning’s 60 minute observation. In the center you will find NGC 7626 which is what the telescope was aiming for.
Second image is also the unprocessed image, but figured out a way to add the #galaxies observed. Shout out to In-the-sky.org.

'Spanner in the works': Flashing cosmic object puzzles astronomers
By Ellen Phiddian
A weird object in the sky that blasted pulses of X-rays and radio waves for two minutes out of every 44 could be a dead star, but it's not one that fits with astronomical theories.
Nasa reveals stunning views of distant galaxies through Webb and Hubble telescopes
In May, the Hubble telescope released a picture of a different galaxy, known as HerS 020941.1+001557, as it appeared 11 billion years ago. Along with SDSS J020941.27+001558.4 and SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, it forms a partial ring captured through gravitational lens, also known as the Einstein Ring. #Nasa #reveals #stunning #views #distant #galaxies #Webb #Hubble #telescopes
