What is this? Maybe a painting?
No! It's abt NGC 2736, or Pencil Nebula, a small part of the Vela Supernova Remnant.
It's thought, in fact, to be formed from part of its shock wave, plowing through interstellar space at over 500,000 km per hour!

This mosaicked close-up of galaxy NGC 2442, constructed from @HubbleTelescope & @ESO data, follows its structure in amazing detail.

The asymmetric shape is likely the result of a previous tidal interaction with a galaxy not seen in the image

This image isn't any #Halloween pumpkin, even if it resembles a haunting orange face!

Red and orange hues, haunting the face of the Moon, refer to the Oct 27th 2004 total lunar eclipse.

Do you know the effect called cloud iridescence or irisation?

When parts of clouds are thin & have similar size droplets, it happens diffraction can make them shine with colours like a corona.
In fact, the colours are essentially corona fragments.

The Great Carina Nebula, also known as NGC 3372, is 1 of the largest H II regions located in the heart of Southern Milky Way, in the Carina constellation.

Easily visible to the unaided eye, the nebula is at a distance of 7,500 ly.

In the image you can see how the appearance of North America nebula can change using different combinations of visible & infrared observations.

Color is used to display different parts of the spectrum in each of these images.

This extraordinary image was created by reprocessing & merging 16 frames from Voyager 1's flyby of Jupiter in 1979.

Just right of center, you can see the Great Red Spot, a huge storm system.

This is NGC 2442, a distorted galaxy located some 50 million ly away in the Volans constellation (the Flying Fish).

Also known as Meathook Galaxy, it's 75,000 ly wide and features 2 dusty spiral arms extending from a pronounced central bar
