This new NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows ghostly green filaments, lying within galaxy 2MASX J22014163+1151237. This filament was illuminated by a blast of radiation from a quasar — a very luminous and compact region that surrounds the supermassive black hole at the centre of its host galaxy.

Its bright green hue is a result of ionised oxygen, which glows brightly at green wavelengths.

Nice article dude. Very nice.
 
Rane did you happen to see the article regarding: Something huge smashed into Uranus? That was the title. I couldn't tell if it was a joke, serious, if it just happened or long time ago... title was really misleading and somebody had fun :1orglaugh

A high-energy neutrino has been traced to its galactic birthplace
Click to expand...

A zippy little particle has been traced back to its cosmic stomping grounds, a flaring galaxy 4 billion light-years away, for the first time solving a cosmic whodunit.

Scientists have long puzzled over the sources of high-energy particles from space, which batter the Earth at energies that can outstrip the world’s most advanced particle accelerators. Now, physicists have identified the source of an energetic, lightweight particle called a neutrino. The intergalactic voyager came from a type of bright galaxy called a blazar located in the direction of the constellation Orion, scientists report

:1orglaugh Yeah I saw that and for a second I wasn't sure either. I thought it might be something like that "Chuck Tingles - Space Raptor Butt Invasion" thing that happened awhile back.

Astronomers just found 12 more moons around Jupiter, and one is really weird. While 11 orbit in the same direction as their nearest neighbors, one doesn’t, potentially putting it on a fatal collision course.

The Milky Way’s big ******
Click to expand...

At first glance, it resembles our Milky Way albeit larger, measuring more than 200 000 light-years across compared to 100 000 light-year diameter for our home galaxy.

NGC 6744 is similar to our home galaxy in more ways than one. Like the Milky Way, NGC 6744 has a prominent central region packed with old yellow stars. Moving away from the galactic core, one can see parts of the dusty spiral arms painted in shades of pink and blue; while the blue sites are full of young star clusters, the pink ones are regions of active star formation, indicating that the galaxy is still very lively.

Check out the @realAstroSoM’s “sonification” of Hubble Ultra Deep Field: When you click on a galaxy, the sound indicates if it’s close (higher pitches) or distant (lower pitches)

Wonderful links, Rane!!! Can't rep ya yet.

Also do not forget Mars Opposition Friday night or whenever applies to you, Rane! Happy sky gazing. The planets are keeping our skies, stars and aerial beauties interesting for sure :cool:

Cheers mate, you too. :hatsoff: Speaking of Mars and interesting did you see this?

Far beneath the deeply frozen ice cap at Mars’s south pole lies a lake of liquid water—the first to be found on the Red Planet

Tomorrow if I get time to gather it all, I am going to PM you some stuff concerning Mars I think you will take great delight in, Rane :hatsoff:
