这一系列图片显示了我们的银河系和邻近的仙女座星系的并合过程。 第一行，左边:当今。 第一行，右边:在20亿年后，正在接近的仙女座星系的圆盘明显变大。 第二行，左边:在37.5亿年后，仙女座星系充满了整个视野。 第二行，右边:在三十八亿五千万年后，天空因新星的形成而闪耀。 第三行，左边:在39亿年后，新星继续形成。 第三行，右边:在40亿年后，仙女座星系被潮汐力拉伸，银河系也被扭曲。。 第四行，左边:在51亿年后，银河系和仙女座星系的核心以一对明亮的裂片的形式出现。 第四行，右边:在70亿年后，合并的星系形成了一个巨大的椭圆星系，名为银河仙女星系（Milkomeda），其明亮的核心支配着夜空。 […]
2019 August 11 Arp 87: Merging Galaxies from Hubble Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble Heritage Team (STScI, AURA) Explanation: This dance is to the death. Along the way, as these two large galaxies duel, a cosmic bridge of stars, gas, and dust currently stretches over 75,000 light-years and joins them

The pair of strange, luminescent creatures at play in this image are actually galaxies — realms of millions upon millions of stars. This galactic duo is known as UGC 2369. The galaxies are interacting, meaning that their mutual gravitational attraction is pulling them closer and closer together and
2019 August 10 M16 Close Up Image Credit & Copyright: Ignacio Diaz Bobillo Explanation: A star cluster around 2 million years young surrounded by natal clouds of dust and glowing gas, M16 is also known as The Eagle Nebula. This beautifully detailed image of the region adopts the colorful Hubble

This new Hubble Space Telescope view of Jupiter, taken on June 27, 2019, reveals the giant planet’s trademark Great Red Spot, and a more intense color palette in the clouds swirling in Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere than seen in previous years. The colors, and their changes, provide impo
这张关于名为“蒂尔山脊”（Teal Ridge）的全景图由美国国家航空航天局（NASA）“好奇号”（Curiosity）探测器上的桅杆相机（Mast Camera, Mastcam）于2019年6月18日在火星上拍摄。 版权：NASA /加州理工学院喷气推进实验室（JPL-Caltech）/ 宇宙目标监视系统（MSSS） 自七年前登陆火星以来，NASA“好奇号”探测器已经取得了长足进展。它总共飞行了13英里（21公里），并上升了1207英尺（368米）抵达目前所处位置。在探索过程中，“好奇号”发现火星在远古时期就具备了支持微生物生存的条件。 “好奇号”的任务还远未完成，它刚刚从火星表面钻出了第

Seven years. 13 miles. 22 samples. Our Curiosity rover has come a long way since touching down on Mars seven years ago. It has traveled a total of 13 miles (21 kilometers) and ascended 1,207 feet (368 meters) to its current location. Along the way, Curiosity discovered Mars had the conditions to sup
