Space Telescopes

Real images from the Space Telescopes: Hubble, Spitzer, and others.

This is a "barred spiral" galaxy, NGC 1300, the largest Hubble image of a complete galaxy. Incredible detail. It is 69 million light years away in Eriadnus, a Southern constellation. Read more from hubblesite.org Giclee Only $49.00 Giclee Only $95.00
Barred Spiral NGC 1300 		Like many other objects, Hubble has resolved the enigmatic Antenna Galaxy, which looked to Earthbound 'scopes like a fuzzy insect, into reality: The Antennae are a pair of interacting galaxies, caught in each other's gravitational pull, and tearing each other apart. Poster Only $14.95
Hubble Antenna Galaxies Poster 		Finally! Our most-requested Hubble image. Scientists aimed Hubble at a dark void in the sky, and this is what they saw! It's teeming with hundreds of colorful galaxies of all types and sizes. Poster Only $17.95
Hubble Deep Field 		7000 light years away in the constellation Serpens, north of Scorpio. This is another of the Eagle's "pillars of creation" but with much finer detail, from the dusty base to the blast of ultraviolet light at the top. Brilliant new blue stars shine like Christmas tree lights, while unseen stars illuminate from within and silhouette the column from behind. Read more from hubblesite.org. Giclee Only $75.00 Giclee Only $39.00
Eagle Nebula Pillar (M-16)
This celebrated interacting galaxy is 37 million light years away in the constellation Canes Venatici, near the Big Dipper. It is actually a pair of interacting galaxies viewed nearly face on. A lower-angle study is the subject of the Kim Poor print Starcatcher. Read more from hubblesite.org. Giclee Only $99.00 Giclee Only $49.00
M-51 (The Whirlpool Galaxy) 		NGC 6302 is a planetary nebula 3800 light years distant in the direction of Scorpius. Planetary nebulae are the result of gas-shedding episodes from a dying star. Photo by the newly-installed Wide-field Camera 3. Giclee Only $45.00
NGC 6302 		An image from NASA's Spitzer and Hubble Space Telescopes looks more like an abstract painting than a cosmic snapshot. It shows the Orion nebula in an explosion of infrared, ultraviolet and visible-light colors. At the heart is a set of four massive stars, called the Trapezium. These are 100,000 times brighter than our sun. Giclee Only $45.00
The Orion Nebula 		This is a stellar birthplace seen by Spitzer in the infrared. In the Northern constellation Cassiopeia, it is enormous-four full Moons wide. Giclee Only $45.00
W5 Star forming Region
Only 450 light years away in the constellation Aquarius, this long-observed planetary nebula, created from outgassing of a dying star has been imaged in glorious detail and color by Hubble. Nicknamed "The Eye of God" it spans an area half the size of the moon. Read more from hubblesite.org. Giclee Only $99.00 Giclee Only $45.00
The Helix Nebula (NGC 7293) 		This is another familiar dusty star-forming pillar hundreds of light-years long, in the Southern hemisphere constellation of Carina. Photo by the newly-installed Wide-field Camera 3. Giclee Only $45.00
Star Pillar in Carina 		The Cone nebula is actually a pillar of gas and dust. Called the Cone Nebula (NGC 2264) -- so named because, in ground-based images, it has a conical shape -- this giant pillar resides in a turbulent star-forming region. Giclee Only $45.00
The Cone Nebula 		The Crab nebula is a six-light-year-wide remnant of a star gone supernova . Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded it 1,000 years ago in 1054.The orange filaments are remains of the star and are mostly hydrogen. Blue in the outer part is neutral oxygen, green is singly-ionized sulfur, and red is doubly-ionized oxygen. The spinning neutron star embedded in the center is the dynamo powering the nebula's eerie bluish glow. The blue light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around magnetic field lines from the neutron star. The neutron star, like a lighthouse, ejects twin beams of radiation that appear to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star's rotation. A neutron star is the crushed core of the exploded star. Giclee Only $45.00
The Crab Nebula
This image is from the Spitzer Space Telescope's infrared instrument. This barely visible area is in the Northern constellation Cassiopeia comes to life in the infrared. The original "Pillars of Creation" in M16 would barely fill the tips of one of these "mountains." Infrared light can look through dusty areas and see infant star formation. Giclee Only $42.00
Mountains of Creation 		Obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys, is Hubble's latest view of an expanding halo of light around a distant star, named V838 Monocerotis. The illumination of interstellar dust comes from the red supergiant star at the middle of the image, which gave off a flashbulb-like pulse of light in 2002. Giclee Only $45.00
