- A small section of the Andromeda Galaxy showing over 2 billion stars
- New Webb image of the gravitational lensing of the quasar known as RX J1131-1231, located roughly 6 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Crater.
- Infrared Uranus, its rings and Moons captured by the monster 10 meter W. M. Keck Observatory Telescope in Hawaii.
- Stunning image of Saturn and its moon Titan, taken by the Cassini spacecraft using calibrated near-infrared data.
- Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in the Solar System, as captured by ESA's Mars Express spacecraft. The volcano is about 620 km across and 21 km tall.
- On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.
- The tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars. It has a height of 25 km, Mount Everest is 'only' 8.8 km tall.
- The Storm Of A Trillion Stars
NGC 2841 is over 150,000 light years across, 50% bigger than our Milky Way. It lies 46 million light-years away in the constellation of Ursa Major (The Great Bear)
- Saturn and Moons taken by Cassini Spacecraft on May 7, 2004 from a distance of 28.2 million kilometers (17.6 million miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 169 kilometers (105 miles) per pixel. It entered orbit of Saturn on July 1, 2004.
- One of the most Clearest images ever taken of Comet Rosetta.
- Latest Webb telescope image shows the grand-design spiral galaxy
- VIRAT KOHLI HAS RETIRED FROM T20I CRICKET. 🥹
- Thank you for everything, King. ❤️😭
- india won Cricket T20 World Cup after 17 years 😭🔥🥲❤️
- The breathtaking view of Saturn, captured by the Cassini spacecraft, spans about 404,880 miles (651,591 kilometers) across.
- Solar eclipse from the South Pole
The left is the South Pole Telescope and the right is BICEP/Keck (that collaboration at least, can't tell which one they were running at the time).
- The most distant black hole known to humanity
GN-z11 is an extremely distant, ancient galaxy existed only 400 million years after the Big Bang, which means we see it as it was 13.4 billion years ago. It's very luminous,
- Four images of the same distant quasar appear in the middle of the foreground galaxy due to strong gravitational lensing. The quasar is at a distance of 8 billion light years while the lensing galaxy is at a distance of 400 million light years from Earth.
- Stunning image of Miranda, the oddly shaped Moon of Uranus. This moon has the tallest known cliff in the Solar System, Verona Rupes which stands at 20km tall.
- In 2019, biologist Eleanor Lutz combined five different data sets to produce this image of every known thing in our solar system with a diameter bigger than 10 kilometers.
- Not a black hole, but a "molecular cloud" (known as Barnard 68) which is a high concentration of dust and molecular gas that absorbs practically all the visible light emitted from background stars.
- Scarlett and smoke
The brightest member of this cluster, named HD 74804, is thought to have ionised Gum 15’s hydrogen cloud. This ionised hydrogen content is the cause of the red hue permeating the frame.
- This is what the surface of an asteroid looks like. The Japanese Hayabusa 2 space craft managed to land on the surface of the Ryugu asteroid in July 2019 and transmit a photo to Earth.
- Saturn's rings as observed by Voyager 2 as it passed by the planet in 1981. 😍❤️
- First ever image of a multi-planet system around a Sun-like star (Source: ESO)
- NGC 3372 is an emission nebula in the constellation Carina. Can be observed in the southern hemisphere and tropical regions of the northern hemisphere of the Earth. It is located at a distance of 6,500 to 10,000 light years from Earth.
- JWST captured the clearest view of Neptune’s rings and 7 of its 14 known moons. Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, appears brighter than the planet in this Webb view.
- India and Sri Lanka as seen from Gemini 11
- Last pic of Earth taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft before it went on a death dive into Saturn
- The first known image of Andromeda was taken on December 29, 1888 by Isaac Roberts.
- One of the best images of Jupiter photographed by Juno probe
- Ariel, the fourth largest moon of Uranus, captured by Voyager-2
- The clearest picture currently available of the planet Mercury
- Uranus by James Webb
- An awe-inspiring view of Valles Marineris on Mars, meticulously modeled using Viking global composite imagery, reveals the vastness and intricate details of one of the most colossal canyon systems in our solar system.
- Hubble has captured aurorae in the atmosphere of Uranus! ❤️
- Hubble just spotted this beautiful lenticular galaxy called NGC 4753, about 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
- People spend a lot of time fantasizing about comets looming up out of deep space and galvanizing humanity to defend our precious place in the cosmos. The clear and present threat from solar storms somehow doesn't cut it. Requires homework to understand, with little profit to be made and no excuse for tyranny.
- A small collection of Hubble images 👀❤️
- Optical and radio telescopes captured a spiral and elliptical galaxy merging 13 million light years away. At their core lies a supermassive black hole with the mass of 55 million suns.
- Jupiter's moon Io as seen by the Galileo spacecraft. Io is the most volcanically active world in the Solar System, with hundreds of volcanoes.
- So it’s finally over. Drake accepted defeat lmao. Kendrick is the certified boogeyman 🤣
