There is truly nothing more awe-inspiring than the vast unknown of space for decades NASA and various
space agencies around the world have been studying and closely observing the world beyond our galaxy
in doing so they have chanced upon some outrageously beautiful sights
welcome to Factnomenal and today we will take a look at some of the most breathtaking photos from
space that will prove just how amazing the world beyond our home planet really is supernova remnant
images and data collected from Hubble as well as Chandra show a beautiful view of cassiopeia a
at a distance of 11,000 light years this supernova remnant is basically what is left after the
explosion of a massive star the picture captures the neutron star at the center of it all and the
different colored outer layers along with the blue light emanations from a number of little neutrinos
this cosmic wonder is a gorgeous sight to behold
the omega nebula nebulae are some of the prettiest things you can find in the sky and messier 17
the swan nebula lobster nebula or even sometimes called the Omega Nebula is no exception at first
glance it appears to resemble a raging ocean full of hydrogen gas and other elements like gas and
sulfur this hotbed for star formation is beautiful to look at with wave-like patterns running through
it due to the ultraviolet radiation from young stars the Glamxy located about 60 million light
years away the image captured by the Hubble telescope shows the beautifully enchanting galaxy
NGC 5643 lying in the constellation lupus the galaxy seems to almost be shimmering with an array
of stars scattered around it it falls under the category of safe fert galleries which essentially
means they have very luminous centers that are thought to be powered by the material being sucked
into it by supermassive black holes the impressive outflows that you see stretching out around the
galaxy that kind of look like glittery arms are likely a result of the material being ejected
from the accretion disk of the black hole at the core in turn giving us a glamorous spiral galaxy
you gotta give it up to space for managing to make even floating debris and material look pretty
this stunning image apparently took about nine hours of observation time but it sure
is worth it for the gram people go to some great lengths to get the perfect Instagramable selfie
but this one might just take the cake famous for being the second person ever to walk on the moon
astronaut Buzz Aldrin also owns the title of creating the first ever selfie in space
he can be seen here pictured in space with the earth shining magnificently behind him funnily
enough he took the image over half a century ago during the gemini 12 mission before selfies were
even a thing you go buzz and what do you know he even made t-shirts with the picture on it gotta
say at 91 buzz aldrin sure is way cooler than most of us and living his best life the eye of god
the constellation Aquarius holds one of the closest planetary nebulae to earth
NGC 2973 otherwise known as the helix nebula is known for being one of the brightest ever
discovered rivaled only by the dumbbell nebula situated 650 light years away from earth makes
the helix nebula possible to see even with smaller telescopes owing to its striking appearance it has
even earned the name eye of god the color composite picture of this cosmic beauty was
taken from an observatory in Chile the blue green hue at the center represents the abundance of
oxygen atoms that are shining due to the after effects of intense ultraviolet radiation from
its central star a star that just so happens to be 6.5 times the mass of our own sun
distant galaxies can even be seen through the thin layer of gas at the center of this nebula
Jupiter the great using data from the Juno chem instrument on NASA's Juno spacecraft
citizen scientist Gabrielle Fissette was able to create this enhanced color view of the greatest
planet in our solar system the image was taken from an altitude of 32 400 miles or 52 200
kilometers above the giant planet's cloud tops the breathing image shows a spattering of unorganized
filamentary structures and streams of air that appear on the surface like giant tangled strings
some would even argue that it kinda looks like spaghetti the
white oval-shaped structures in the picture show the cloud storms on this mighty planet
the not-so-little teapot an image taken by the international soho spacecraft's
extreme ultraviolet imaging telescope or eit captured a rare phenomenon which seemed
to showcase a handle-shaped presence or prominence erupting from the sun
generally speaking prominences are huge clouds of relatively cool dense plasma suspended in
the sun's hot tenuous corona occasionally they erupt and escape from the sun's surface according
to the solar and heliospheric observatory the prominence seems to extend to at least 40 earths
the stunning photo showcases the peculiar shaping formed by this prominence some say
the sun looks like a hot teapot while some argue that it resembles a kettlebell from their gym
either way it's one of the most splendid fireworks shows in our solar system
keeping it plutonic undoubtedly one of the most controversial objects of our milky way pluto can
be seen here in a series of four images that were actually combined together along with color data
from the new horizons long range imager the beautiful images show that it is anything but
a mere inert ball of ice it was actually this dwarf planet that opened up the existence of a
third zone to scientists prior to the discovery of the Kuiper Belt they believed that the solar
system had only two parts the inner and outer zone it may be a dwarf planet but by no means
is it any less important much like the roman god of the underworld that the planet was named after
it seems rather fitting that it too sits on the outer reaches of our solar system
so much so that it's no longer considered a part of our planetary system i'm sure
Pluto doesn't mind this change in relationship status we simply want to keep things plutonic
the Horsehead Nebula one of the most stunning images of nebulae was taken from the Hubble
space telescope the Horsehead Nebula looks like a huge waking giant in the black of space
the picture shows the nebula in all its glory with the upper ridge of the nebula
illuminated by the sigma or ionis a younger five-star system this dark light gobbling
nebula is a companion to the flame nebula and is completely made up of clouds of dust and gas
named for its unique horse head shape it also looks like an angry titan in the sky
its vivid pink colors and shape have made it an object of interest for many space enthusiasts
the great cosmic reef to celebrate 30 years of the Hubble space telescope
a beautiful and chanting image of what resembles a cosmic sea world was released
in the picture you can see the red nebula NGC 2014 and the neighboring smaller blue nebula NGC 2020
both are a part of a vast star-forming region 163 000 light years away in the Magellanic Cloud
right at the center of the nebula is the group of stars that are approximately 10 to 20 times the
size of the sun the blue nebula in the picture is estimated to be 200 000 times brighter than
the sun if space had its own great barrier reef this is what i would imagine it to look like
Jupiter's north pole auroras are the stunning light shows that we see in the planet's atmosphere
and recently astronomers were able to capture an image of the aurora taking place on the poles
of Jupiter in the words of chandler bing could Jupiter be any cooler the stunning image shows the
phenomena captured via the Hubble telescope on the largest planet in the milky way kind of jealous
that i'm not there to see it Jupiter's auroras are also known for emitting some unusual x-ray flares
that are thought to originate from the sulfur and oxygen ions constantly being emitted from
Jupiter's volcanic moon io these x-ray auroras are so powerful that the amount of energy they produce
is thought to be more than any power station on earth could produce for days these vivid
aurora sure make for a beautiful display almost like Jupiter is having its very own light show
space art lying in the constellation Monoceros the super giant star v838 Monoceratis is quite
the work of art images from the Hubble telescope have shown just how beautiful
this distant star is the deep red color at the center surrounded by the dust around
it gives it an alluring look against the vast black backdrop of space the bright star system
is adorned with spirals of dust and twinkling stars making it look like a shiny space ornament
unlike other supernovas though the v838 has simply grown in size ever since it was first discovered
instead of shedding its outer layers like the others would one of the leading ideas is that
instead of undergoing epic peroxisms and violent blasts of gas and dust the central star could
actually be the result of two stars colliding and merging which is an extremely rare event
this giant red star is apparently 380 times the size of our sun and about
20 thousand times brighter with its mysterious origins the V838 Monoceris remains to this day
a true space enigma and an object of otherworldly beauty portrait of the universe and finally we
have what is undoubtedly the deepest portrait picture of the observable universe ever taken
the space telescope science institute unveiled this breathtaking picture of the universe taken
by the Hubble space telescope in march 2004 the photo shows different galaxies and swirls of stars
against the backdrop of the vast dark space in an area known as the Hubble deep ultra feel
and it is absolutely mind-blowing it's kind of like a family portrait with different galaxies
stars nebulae of all shapes sizes and colors coming together for a picture it's pictures like
this that just reminds us how much more is out there and how we have so much to explore until
new we're in more advanced space telescopes are launched we won't be getting any better portraits
of the universe anytime soon making it one of a kind sorry Hollywood but this picture beats your
Oscar selfies the real stars of the universe are right here so what do you think which one of these
