1. Crab Nebula - This is my favorite nebula that we've looked at so far. It is SO beautiful!!! I could just stare at it ALL day long. I can't even take it all in its so big and so much!
2. Interacting Spiral Galaxies NGC 2207 and IC 2163
I believe this is the picture in the observatory of one galaxy eating another. The title of it, however, is a lot more peaceful by saying the two galaxies are simply "Interacting" .... haha
3.Star-Birth Clouds in M16: Stellar Eggs Emerge from Molecular Cloud
I believe this picture is also in the observatory.
I used to see this picture a lot when I was growing up for some reason. Dr. DuPree explained to the GEMS students over the summer about the vast size of this thing. And it blew my mind.
4.Dust Band Around the Nucleus of Black Eye Galaxy M64
I don't remember ever seeing this image before. But its SO beautiful. It kind of reminds me of a cyclone, where all of the stuff is spiraling in towards the center.
5.Hubble Snaps a Splendid Planetary Nebula
Okay. I LOVE PLANETARY NEBULA.
They are just about the most beautiful things I've ever seen!
This photo reminds me of a watercolor painting. The ejected material looks pretty solid and even. I wonder if this is a false color image.
6. The Helix Nebula: a Gaseous Envelope Expelled By a Dying Star
I've also seen this one. Its beautiful how so much of a star can just explode into something this beautiful.
7. Spiral Galaxy NGC 3370, Home to Supernova Seen in 1994
This spiral galaxy is mainly blue, so it must be filled with newer stars!!!
I love how you can see all of the other galaxies floating around in the background.
8. Light Echoes From Red Supergiant Star V838 Monocerotis - December 2002
I wonder what this is... it looks like a planetary nebula. The title says Red Supergiant Star so it would make sense that it would be a planetary nebula but it doesn't really look like the other ones we saw...
9. HST/WFPC2 Image of Jupiter and Ganymede Taken April 9, 2007
I love Jupiter. This is more last semester's stuff.
10. Abstract Art Found in the Orion Nebula
All i can say is....WOW. I also wonder if this is a false-color image....I hope not, its so beautiful!
11. NGC 6302
This looks like a butterfly. Its so gorgeous. All of these things are so vast and enormous. What it reminds me of is when you take food dye and drop it in a glass of water. The edges remind me of this type of spreading.
12. Scattered Light from the Boomerang Nebula
This reminds me of the background on Macs. Its really pretty. I wonder what this is. It seems to be emanating from a very small thing from the center.
13. Carina Nebula Details: The Caterpillar
So I assume that the images in this one are different gasses of different consistensies so that they look like clumps in the middle of the clouds.
14. M101 Composite Image: Hubble Data (Green Component)
Cool. So since this is a green component image, would that mean that the stars that clearly show up in green would be like our sun, which is also more of a green?
15. The Dusty Galaxy NGC 1316
I love how the dust can show up like this. It looks kind of red.
16. The Majestic Sombrero Galaxy (M104)
This spiral galaxy is so perfectly flat, its amazing. I wonder what factors make this perfect flat galaxy.
17. Star-Forming Region LH 95 in the Large Magellanic Cloud
This is so beautiful. One day I'd like to go to the southern hemisphere and see the large magellanic clouds that you mentions in class some time.
18. Globular Star Cluster M80
This is so symmetrical its beautiful. this globular star cluster has red stars.
19. Hubble Interacting Galaxy NGC 7674
Here's another example of "interacting" galaxies. aka a giant galaxy eating another one.
20. The Colorful Demise of a Sun-like Star
I wonder how they know that this supernova was from a sun-like star....
21. Cassiopeia A: Colorful, Shredded Remains of Old Supernova
I love this image. Its so colorful and reminds me of MarioKart for some reason....no idea why. Anyway, the material looks like its sort of clumping together/accreting. Maybe they're about to form new stars?
21.Supernova Bonanza in Nearby Galaxy NGC 1569
This looks like algae in the middle of a galaxy full of stars.
22. Hubble Observes the Large Magellanic Cloud's Star-Forming Region, 30 Doradus
This doesn't even look real! The stars are so beautiful! it looks like there are stars forming inside of the Magellanic Cloud and that there are clusters of stars behind the cloud as well.
23. Hubble Interacting Galaxy NGC 3256
This reminds me of the picture of galaxies being pulled at by another galaxy (perhaps one that you can't see in this image?) Or maybe they are intertwined in the middle of eachother!
24. Orion Nebula ( NGC 1976, M42)
I'm not really sure what to say about this one, its just beautiful.
25.This website lied. There are in fact only 24 images.
