I love this boy, I could not help but draw him 😍

Hubble Sees Galaxy Cluster Warping Space and Time . This picturesque view from the ESA/@NASAHubble Space Telescope peers into the distant universe to reveal a galaxy cluster called Abell 2537. . Galaxy clusters such as this one contain thousands of galaxies of all ages, shapes and sizes, together totaling a mass thousands of times greater than that of the Milky Way. These groupings of galaxies are colossal — they are the largest structures in the Universe to be held together by their own gravity. . Clusters are useful in probing mysterious cosmic phenomena like dark energy and dark matter, which can contort space itself. There is so much matter stuffed into a cluster like Abell 2537 that its gravity has visible effects on its surroundings. Abell 2537’s gravity warps the very structure of its environment (spacetime), causing light to travel along distorted paths through space. This phenomenon can produce a magnifying effect, allowing us to see faint objects that lie far behind the cluster and are thus otherwise unobservable from Earth. Abell 2537 is a particularly efficient lens, as demonstrated by the stretched stripes and streaking arcs visible in the frame. These smeared shapes are in fact galaxies, their light heavily distorted by the gravitational field of Abell 2537. . Credit: ESA/Hubble/NASA

“A wave spanning 200,000 light-years is rolling through the Perseus galaxy cluster, according to observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory coupled with a computer simulation. The simulation shows the gravitational disturbance resulting from the distant flyby of a galaxy cluster about a tenth the mass of the Perseus cluster. The event causes cooler gas at the heart of the Perseus cluster to form a vast expanding spiral, which ultimately forms giant waves lasting hundreds of millions of years at its periphery. Merger events like this are thought to occur as often as every three to four billion years in clusters like Perseus.”

A colorful #spacetattuesday #Repost @smartbranditattoos ・・・ The Cone Nebula, resides in a turbulent star forming region 2,500 light years away in the Monoceros constellation. This shot was taken by Hubble, showing the upper 2.5 light years of the nebula, which is 7 light years in length. This is a smaller, southern part of the much larger Christmas Tree Cluster. Look it up, get some perspective. 😻Tattoo is for the @nasawebb project #jwstart Done on my wonderful friend @surlygirlie5 #nasahubblespacetelescope #nasawebb #fusionink #electrumstencilproducts #eikondevice #gatattooers #ladytattooers #waverlybluebird #conenebula #christmastreenebula #nasagoddard #nasa @nasagoddard @nasa #spacetattuesday

2016 hottest year ever recorded – and scientists say human activity to blame 

I Believe In Love, Across The Universes, Beyond All Eternities - IMRAN™ “Like breathless lovers in a mind-melting, soul-stretching, imagination-inflaming, reality-ripping erotic dance across eternities.” - Imran Anwar This @NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration - image from Hubble is as much science & space to me as love & life in my book. It reminded me of how I believe in love. Love that stretches past the limits of all universes, spanning beyond all eternities. © 2023 IMRAN™ NASA TITLE: Hubble Inspects a Pair of Space Oddities NASA DESCRIPTION: This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows two of the galaxies in the galactic triplet Arp 248 - also known as Wild's Triplet - which lies around 200 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo. The two large spiral galaxies visible in this image - which flank a smaller, unrelated background spiral galaxy - appear connected by a luminous bridge. This elongated stream of stars and interstellar dust is known as a tidal tail, and it formed by the mutual gravitational attraction of the two foreground galaxies. #NASA #NASAMarshall #NASAGoddard #ESA #HubbleSpaceTelescope #HST #astrophysics #galaxy #love #romance #eternity #lovers #IMRAN (at imran.tv) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFMGMRuy6z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
