Galaxy Wars: M81 and M82

Galaxy Wars: M81 and M82 

These two galaxies are far far away, 12 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Great Bear. On the left, with grand spiral arms and bright yellow core is spiral galaxy M81, some 100,000 light-years across. On the right marked by red gas and dust clouds, is irregular galaxy M82. The pair have been locked in gravitational combat for a billion years. Their last go-round lasted about 100 million years and likely raised density waves rippling around M81, resulting in the richness of M81's spiral arms. M82 was left with violent star forming regions and colliding gas clouds so energetic the galaxy glows in X-rays. In the next few billion years, their continuing gravitational encounters will result in a merger, and a single galaxy will remain.

Earth's close encounter with potentially hazardous asteroid tonight

Mile wide potentially hazardous asteroid to whizz past Earth tonight. Asteroid 1997 BQ — first identified in January of 1997, is hurtling towards us at an approximate speed of 13.3 km per second and will "closely approach" our planet on the evening of 21st May 2020. According to NASA estimates it will be a safe flyby with the asteroid passing within 3.8 miles of Earth, that's about 16 times the distance between Earth and the Moon.

This is Rosette Nebula — which got its nickname from its close resemblance to a flower in bloom. It's the Perseus Arm of the galaxy, about a 130 light-years-wide nebula that hosts a club of more than 10,000 young stars.

The Horsehead Nebula In Infrared From Hubble

The Horsehead Nebula in Infrared from Hubble

Fittingly named the Horsehead Nebula, it is embedded in the vast and complex Orion Nebula (M42). A potentially rewarding but difficult object to view personally with a small telescope, the above gorgeously detailed image was taken in 2013 in infrared light by the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope in honor of the 23rd anniversary of Hubble's launch. The dark molecular cloud, roughly 1,500 light years distant, is cataloged as Barnard 33 and is seen above primarily because it is backlit by the nearby massive star Sigma Orionis .
