Celestial Circles

To take this picture, ESO Photo Ambassador Adhemar Duro stopped by the roadside en route to one of ESO’s observing sites in Chile. This road winds up to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, ALMA, located at an altitude of 5000 metres. Due to the image’s long exposure time, the stars trace out circles on the night sky as they orbit the southern celestial pole, located at the centre of the image. Atop the celestial pole the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds — two satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, visible only in the southern hemisphere — can be seen as diffuse bluish clouds. On the left side of the image, an area densely populated by stars marks the centre of the Milky Way.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 2016 May 17 

The Orion Nebula in Visible and Infrared 

The Great Nebula in Orion is a colorful place. Visible to the unaided eye, it appears as a small fuzzy patch in the constellation of Orion. Long exposure, multi-wavelength images like this, however, show the Orion Nebula to be a busy neighborhood of young stars, hot gas, and dark dust. This digital composite features not only three colors of visible light but four colors of infrared light taken by NASA’s orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope as well. The power behind much of the Orion Nebula (M42) is the Trapezium - four of the brightest stars in the nebula. Many of the filamentary structures visible are actually shock waves - fronts where fast moving material encounters slow moving gas. The Orion Nebula spans about 40 light years and is located about 1500 light years away in the same spiral arm of our Galaxy as the Sun.

Andromeda in Infrared

This image of the Andromeda galaxy in infrared is the sharpest image ever taken of the dust in another spiral galaxy when it was taken. This image reveals the delicate tracings of spiral arms that reach into the very center of the galaxy. The fiery plumes of red contain millions of stars trapped within the dust that creates them.
