A breathtaking image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1398. This galaxy is located approximately 65 million light-years away. Can't wait to see what will show us.

A gorgeous image of the planetary nebula Mz 3, also known (for obvious reasons) as the "Ant Nebula." It shows the final stages in the life of a Sun-like star.
The nebula is about 8,000 light-years away.

The stunningly complex planetary nebula in this image is NGC 5189. Planetary nebulae are formed near end of life of Sun-like star.The star becomes a red giant which ejects its envelope,and the exposed hot core irradiated the ejecta. NGC 5189 is 1,800 light-years away.

"The Rose" -- one of the most spectacular images -- the interacting galaxies Arp 273. The larger galaxy (UGC 1810) is tidally distorted, and has young blue stars in clusters. Arp 273 is about 300 million light years away.

A fantastic image of the amazing galaxy NGC 6946, also known as the "Fireworks Galaxy." During the last century ten supernova explosions have been observed in this galaxy. The galaxy is 25.2 million light-years away.

A fantastic wide-field view of the Orion Nebula (Messier 42). The nebula is about 1350 light-years from Earth. The image was taken with the VISTA infrared survey telescope at ’s Paranal Observatory in Chile.

This spectacular image of the Orion Nebula star-forming region was obtained from multiple exposures using the HAWK-I infrared camera on ’s Very Large Telescope. This is the deepest view of this region and it reveals more very faint planetary-mass objects than expected.
