This face-on colour view of Enceladus was taken by the international Cassini spacecraft on 31 January 2011, from a distance of 81 000 km, and processed by amateur astronomer Gordan Ugarković.
The Cassini–Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, ESA and ASI, the Italian space agency. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, Washington DC, USA.

Haftanın Yüksek Enerji Astrofiziği Görüntüsü’nden, uydu gökadamız ‘Küçük Macellan Bulutu’ndaki oldukça genç yıldız oluşum bögelerinden biri olan NGC 602 bölgesinin görünür, kızılötesi ve X-ışınlarında yaydığı ışınımın birleştirilerek oluşturulduğu bir görüntü..
Her ne kadar yapay olarak renklendirilse de yapıların karmaşıklığı ve detaylar gerçekten büyüleyici..
Görünür bölgedeki ışıma, yıldızların nükleer faaliyetler sonucu etrafa olağan bir şekilde etrafa yaydıkları ışınımken, X-ışınları bölgedeki özellikle genç yıldızların yoğun aktiviteleri, etrafla etkileşimleri ve barındırdıkları metal oranıyla ilişkili..

Star Factory Messier 17
Image Credit: Subaru Telescope (NAOJ), Hubble Space Telescope,
Color data: Wolfgang Promper, Processing: Robert GendlerExplanation: Sculpted by stellar winds and radiation, the star factory known as Messier 17 lies some 5,500 light-years away in the nebula-rich constellation Sagittarius. At that distance, this degree wide field of view spans almost 100 light-years. The sharp, composite, color image utilizing data from space and ground based telescopes, follows faint details of the region’s gas and dust clouds against a backdrop of central Milky Way stars. Stellar winds and energetic light from hot, massive stars formed from M17’s stock of cosmic gas and dust have slowly carved away at the remaining interstellar material producing the cavernous appearance and undulating shapes. M17 is also known as the Omega Nebula or the Swan Nebula.
