SPACEMAS DAY 7 ✨🪐🌎☄️☀️🌕

The big, beautiful Andromeda Galaxy, M31, is a spiral galaxy a mere 2.5 million light-years away. Image data from space-based and ground-based observatories have been combined here to produce this intriguing composite view of Andromeda at wavelengths both inside and outside normally visible light. The visible light shows where M31's stars are now, highlighted in white and blue hues and imaged by the Hubble, Subaru, and Mayall telescopes. The infrared light shows where M31's future stars will soon form, highlighted in orange hues and imaged by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The infrared light tracks enormous lanes of dust, warmed by stars, sweeping along Andromeda's spiral arms. This dust is a tracer of the galaxy's vast interstellar gas, raw material for future star formation. Of course, the new stars will likely form over the next hundred million years or so. That's well before Andromeda merges with our Milky Way Galaxy in about 5 billion years.

THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE CRUSHES ALL -- WHEN TWO GALAXIES COLLIDE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a Hubble image of NGC 7714, a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth.⁣ 🔭+📸: ESA (European Space Agency) & NASA⁣.

MINI-OVERVIEW: "NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy 100 million light-years from Earth — a relatively close neighbour in cosmic terms.

The galaxy has witnessed some violent and dramatic events in its recent past. Tell-tale signs of this brutality can be seen in NGC 7714's strangely shaped arms, and in the smoky golden haze that stretches out from the galactic centre — caused by an ongoing merger with its smaller galactic companion NGC 7715..."

Stunning Images of the Chariot Wheel Galaxy Revisited by the James Webb Telescope

Another masterstroke for James-Webb with this composite image of a surprising wheel-shaped galaxy. The penetrating view of the powerful space telescope shows never-before-seen details of this galaxy which collided about 400 million years ago. What do they show us?

on love and hope in the universe, even through all the destruction

II ZW 96 galaxy collision // The Beatrice Letters - Lemony Snicket // the galaxy NGC 3256 - a wreckage after a cosmic collision // What My Bones Know - Stephanie Foo // light from a burst of star birth after a collision between galaxies // me about you // IC 1623 - two galaxies colliding // Abstract (Psychopomp) - Hozier // a pair of actively forming stars - Herbig-Haro 46/47 // Undertale

#web weaving #web weave #i dont know #yes i included that undertale quote fuck you #love #space #galaxy collisions #lemony snicket #what my bones know #hozier🙏🏻#okay i think that is all the organisational stuff #this is obviously about him but we move #the basic thought is how even if something can be messy and can shake you to your core. something so beautiful can come from it #sometimes love feels like a shock to my system.like oh i didnt know i could feel this much #but it lights everything up so much #like the starbursts after a galaxy collision or the first light or a new star formation #anyways that is what i was going for #I think all pics are JWST

it’s like my soul is being penetrated

by those galaxies you call eyes

every time you look at me

i feel my body ache for your touch

i feel the connection

one out of this world

like if the sun

has collided with saturn

and made a whole new galaxy

all within us

- dee (brown eyes)

2024 March 20

Two large galaxies are pictured. On the left is a distorted spiral galaxy, while on the right is a relatively featureless yellow disk galaxy. Together, these galaxies may look, to some, like a pair of eyes.

The Eyes in Markarian's Galaxy Chain

Image Credit & Copyright: Mike Selby

Explanation: Across the heart of the Virgo Galaxy Cluster lies a string of galaxies known as Markarian's Chain. Prominent in Markarian's Chain are these two interacting galaxies, NGC 4438 (left) and NGC 4435 - also known as The Eyes. About 50 million light-years away, the two galaxies appear to be about 100,000 light-years apart in this sharp close-up, but have likely approached to within an estimated 16,000 light-years of each other in their cosmic past. Gravitational tides from the close encounter have ripped away at their stars, gas, and dust. The more massive NGC 4438 managed to hold on to much of the material torn out in the collision, while material from the smaller NGC 4435 was more easily lost. The remarkably deep image of this crowded region of the universe also includes many more distant background galaxies.

Life series!Desert duo but they’re the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision

#what if we were fated to get closer until we collide #what if our closeness is our inevitable downfall #what if our relationship is a catastrophic event #I’m pretty sure the catastrophe is an outdated theory #and like the collision is just the two galaxies combining into one big galaxy #but idk man I think it’s very desert duo core #i just learned about this today lol #hoping the space hyperfixation mcyt fans see this because I wanna hear your headcanons so bad #even if you’re not I’d love to hear headcanons anyway #yes the Milky Way-Andromeda collision wiki is open on a different tab why did you ask #yes I’m writing this at 3am why did you ask #mcyt #life series #third life #desert duo #hermitshipping #scarian #grian #third life grian #goodtimeswithscar #3rd life gtws #i wanna tag space and the collision really bad but idk if space tumblr would appreciate having block game content on their dash #also for those who are scared of space #the collision won’t happen until billions of years from now #you’re okay you’re safe #the universe loves you

Showing in infrared wavelengths, this merging galaxy pair is about 500 million light-years away toward the constellation Delphinus. The galaxy merger spans about 100,000 light-years in this deep James Webb Space Telescope image. The image data is from Webb's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI). Their combined, sharp infrared view follows galactic scale restructuring in the dusty merger's wild jumble of intense star forming regions and distorted spiral arms
