I Believe In Love, Across The Universes, Beyond All Eternities - IMRAN™ “Like breathless lovers in a mind-melting, soul-stretching, imagination-inflaming, reality-ripping erotic dance across eternities.” - Imran Anwar This @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration - image from Hubble is as much science & space to me as love & life in my book. It reminded me of how I believe in love. Love that stretches past the limits of all universes, spanning beyond all eternities. © 2023 IMRAN™ NASA TITLE: Hubble Inspects a Pair of Space Oddities NASA DESCRIPTION: This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two of the galaxies in the galactic triplet Arp 248 - also known as Wild's Triplet - which lies around 200 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The two large spiral galaxies visible in this image - which flank a smaller, unrelated background spiral galaxy - appear connected by a luminous bridge. This elongated stream of stars and interstellar dust is known as a tidal tail, and it formed by the mutual gravitational attraction of the two foreground galaxies. #NASA #NASAMarshall #NASAGoddard #ESA #HubbleSpaceTelescope #HST #astrophysics #galaxy #love #romance #eternity #lovers #IMRAN (at imran.tv) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFMGMRuy6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hubble Uncovers a Celestial Fossil

Hubble Uncovers a Celestial Fossil by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: This densely populated group of stars is the globular cluster NGC 1841, which is part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way galaxy that lies about 162,000 light-years away. Satellite galaxies are bound by gravity in orbits around a more massive host galaxy. We typically think of the Andromeda Galaxy as our galaxy’s nearest galactic companion, but it is more accurate to say that Andromeda is the nearest galaxy that is not in orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. In fact, dozens of satellite galaxies orbit our galaxy and they are far closer than Andromeda. The largest and brightest of these is the LMC, which is easily visible to the unaided eye from the southern hemisphere under dark sky conditions away from light pollution. The LMC is home to many globular clusters. These celestial bodies fall somewhere between open clusters – which are much less dense and tightly bound – and small, compact galaxies. Increasingly sophisticated observations reveal the stellar populations and characteristics of globular clusters are varied and complex, and we have yet to fully understand how these tightly packed groups of stars form. However, there are certain consistencies across all globular clusters: they are very stable and hold their shape for a long time, which means they are generally very old and contain large numbers of very old stars. Globular clusters are akin to celestial ‘fossils.’ Just as fossils provide insight into the early development of life on Earth, globular clusters such as NGC 1841 can provide insights into very early star formation in galaxies.

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center NASA Telescopes Chase Down “Green Monster” in Star’s Debris
For the first time, astronomers have combined data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope to study the well-known supernova remnant Cassiopeia A (Cas A). As described in our latest press release, this work has helped explain an unusual structure in the debris from the destroyed star called the “Green Monster,” first discovered in Webb data in April 2023. The research has also uncovered new details about the explosion that created Cas A about 340 years ago, from Earth’s perspective.
A new composite image contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Webb (red, green, blue), and optical data from Hubble (red and white). The outer parts of the image also include infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (red, green and blue). To see the outline of the "Green Monster," go to this link

Making Waves in Open Science: NASA Initiatives Enable Ocean Research by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via ƒ lick R kalegiro inefect ne0nthc 6VCR  As NASA works to make data and research more meaningful and accessible to diverse public and scientific audiences, the agency’s Transform to Open Science (TOPS) program is supporting open science efforts and programs across a variety of scientific disciplines, including climate science and physical oceanography. By leveraging open science principles, NASA encourages and empowers scientists to address critical issues such as melting polar sea ice, rising sea levels, and the overall health of marine ecosystems. The goal of open science is to make NASA research and data more collaborative, accessible, inclusive, and transparent for everyone from the scientist and student to the city manager and citizen. As part of the Open Source Science Initiative, the TOPS team is committed to providing space for everyone in the scientific community to learn about the variety of open science tools and data available, as well as the importance of open science itself. Among the communities that have embraced open science is a NASA-funded consortium called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO). For more than 20 years, ECCO has been producing models of ocean variables such as sea surface height, sea surface temperature, global mean sea level, sea ice concentration, and ocean bottom pressure. For example, tidal currents often exhibit laminar flow characteristics, visible in the upper left and right corners of the image. This scene was collected by NASA’s Landsat 8 satellite on September 24, 2021.

NASA’s Juno Exploring Jovian Moons During Extended Mission

NASA’s Juno Exploring Jovian Moons During Extended Mission by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center Via Flickr: After revealing a trove of details about the moons Ganymede and Europa, the mission to Jupiter is setting its sights on sister moon Io. NASA’s Juno mission is scheduled to obtain images of the Jovian moon Io on Dec. 15 as part of its continuing exploration of Jupiter’s inner moons. Now in the second year of its extended mission to investigate the interior of Jupiter, the solar-powered spacecraft performed a close flyby of Ganymede in 2021 and of Europa earlier this year. In this image, the volcano-laced surface of Jupiter’s moon Io was captured in infrared by the Juno spacecraft’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) imager as it flew by at a distance of was about 50,000 miles (80,000 kilometers) on July 5, 2022. Brighter spots indicate higher temperatures in this image.

Cathedral to Massive Stars by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center How massive can a normal star be? Estimates made from distance, brightness and standard solar models had given one star in the open cluster Pismis 24 over 200 times the mass of our Sun, making it one of the most massive stars known. This star is the brightest object located just above the gas front in the featured image. Close inspection of images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope, however, have shown that Pismis 24-1 derives its brilliant luminosity not from a single star but from three at least. Component stars would still remain near 100 solar masses, making them among the more massive stars currently on record. Toward the bottom of the image, stars are still forming in the associated emission nebula NGC 6357. Appearing perhaps like a Gothic cathedral, energetic stars near the center appear to be breaking out and illuminating a spectacular cocoon.
