Monogram Celestial Bauble - SXP1062 space picture Pick
tagged with: pulsar, star galaxies, outer space picture, small magellanic cloud, deep space astronomy, supernova remnant, smc, astronomy picture, monogram initials, hrbstslr spx1062, star incubator, sculptured gas clouds, star factory, hot young stars
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series In this composite image, X-rays from Chandra and XMM-Newton have been colored blue and optical data from the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile are colored red and green. The flowering shape is a star factory and the bright blue star is the pulsar, known as SXP 1062. Astronomers are interested in SXP 1062 because it's spinning unusually slowly - about once every 18 minutes. (In contrast, some pulsars are found to revolve up to 1000 times per second)

Cassiopeia, Milky Ways Youngest Supernova Post-it® Notes
tagged with: star galaxies, outer space picture, supernova explosion, supernovae remnant, milky way youngest supernova, neutron star, deep space astronomy, cassiopeia, cosmic ray, hrbstslr cassasn, space photography, supernovae blasts
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series This extraordinarily deep Chandra image shows Cassiopeia A (Cas A, for short), the youngest supernova remnant in the Milky Way. New analysis shows that this supernova remnant acts like a relativistic pinball machine by accelerating electrons to enormous energies. The blue, wispy arcs in the image show where the acceleration is taking place in an expanding shock wave generated by the explosion. The red and green regions show material from the destroyed star that has been heated to millions of degrees by the explosion.

Large Magellanic Cloud Superbubble in nebula N44 Tough iPhone 6 Case
tagged with: hot young stars, star nursery, interstellar hydrogen clouds, n44 nebula, star cluster ngc 1929, astronomy photographs, outer space pictures, sbsblmc, nebula star superbubble, star gazing, phone protectors, dust clouds, new born stars
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome photograph from deep space featuring a nebula super bubble in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which is a small satellite of our Milky Way galaxy around 160000 light years from us.
The massive stars of this nebula produce intense radiation, expelling matter at high speeds, and race through their main stage finally to explode as supernovas. The stellar winds of charged hydrogen and other particles and the supernova shock waves carve out huge cavities called superbubbles in the surrounding gas. Blue shows hot regions created by these winds and shocks, while red shows where the dust and cooler gas are found. Yellow regions show where ultraviolet radiation from hot, young stars is causing gas in the nebula to glow.

Tadpole Nebula, Auriga Constellation Barely There iPhone 6 Case
tagged with: star forming activity, tadpole nebula, auriga constellation, interstellar gas clouds, new born stars, star galaxies, beautiful astronomy image, outer space pictures, outer space image, hrbstslr tnitac, hot young stars, star nursery, dust clouds
Galaxies, Stars and Nebulae series An awesome outer space picture featuring the Tadpole Nebula, a star forming hub located about 12000 light years away in the Auriga constellation.
This nebula is brimming with new-born stars, many as young as only a million years of age. It's called the Tadpole nebula because the masses of hot, young stars are blasting out ultraviolet radiation that has etched the gas into two tadpole-shaped pillars, called Sim 129 and130, the yellow forms that seem to be swimming away from the three red stars close to the centre of the picture.
