A Hubble Space Telescope image of the center of NGC 1808 (Credit: HST/NASA/ESA) The core region contains a suspected weak active galactic nucleus plus a circumnuclear ring containing star clusters and supernova remnants at a distance of ~280 pc from the center. These form a ring of peculiar "hot spots". [11]
VLT Survey Telescope image shows the Cat's Paw Nebula and the Lobster Nebula. [ 9 ] This portrait of NGC 6334 was created from images taken with the Wide Field Imager instrument at the 2.2-metre MPG/ESO telescope at the La Silla Observatory in Chile .
NGC 891 looks as the Milky Way would look like when viewed edge-on (some astronomers have even noted how similar to NGC 891 our galaxy looks as seen from the Southern Hemisphere [9]) and, in fact, both galaxies are considered very similar in terms of luminosity and size; [10] studies of the dynamics of its molecular hydrogen have also proven the likely presence of a central bar.

This enables the imager to control a telescope far away in a dark location. The observers can image through the telescopes using CCD cameras. Imaging can be done regardless of the location of the user or the telescopes they wish to use. The digital data collected by the telescope is then transmitted and displayed to the user by means of the ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope. [9]
An image captured in January and that NASA shared earlier in February not only shows Leo P, but its intriguing pattern of stellar formation that has baffled astronomers. James Webb Space Telescope ...
Composite image showing how the M87 system looked, across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, during the Event Horizon Telescope's April 2017 campaign to take the first image of a black hole. Requiring 19 different facilities on the Earth and in space, this image reveals the enormous scales spanned by the black hole and its forward-pointing jet.
The Dark Energy Camera captured a rarely seen celestial phenomenon in action: a cosmic cloud called “God’s Hand,” which appears to reach out for a spiral galaxy.
