APOD: 2020 October 23 - Supernova in NGC 2525

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201023.ht

Big, beautiful, barred spiral galaxy NGC 2525 lies 70 million light-years from the Milky Way. It shines in Earth's night sky within the boundaries of the southern constellation Puppis. About 60,000 light-years across, its spiral arms lined with dark dust clouds, massive blue stars, and pinkish starforming regions wind through this gorgeous Hubble Space Telescope snapshot. […]

APOD: 2020 October 18 - UGC 1810: Wildly Interacting Galaxy from Hubble

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201018.ht

What's happening to this spiral galaxy? Although details remain uncertain, it surely has to do with an ongoing battle with its smaller galactic neighbor. The featured galaxy is labelled UGC 1810 by itself, but together with its collisional partner is known as Arp 273. […]

APOD: 2020 October 5 - NGC 5643: Nearby Spiral Galaxy from Hubble

apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap201005.ht

What's happening at the center of spiral galaxy NGC 5643? A swirling disk of stars and gas, NGC 5643's appearance is dominated by blue spiral arms and brown dust, as shown in the featured image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The core of this active galaxy glows brightly in radio waves and X-rays where twin jets have been found. […]
