What's going on in the Universe?

 Image-1:- Aquilla

In the Constellation of "Aquilla"

Located about 7,200 light years away from us.

This is a massive start formation with a Protostellar jet streaming towards us.

The image of this light show captured by the NASA's Hubble telescope. When ionization happens, it means that atoms and molecules become charged due to high-energy environment. The Protostellar jets have collimated beams of matter that are ejected from young starts called protostars. Collimated means that the matter is ejected in a parallel direction which resembles a column- like shape.

A nebula with stars. Dense cloud of dust and gas cover the left-hand side and a filament crosses the center horizontally. Billowing streams of gas and dust in various colors emerge from around the center. The very center of the image is permeated with glowing orange regions. Many blue starts with cross-shaped spikes lie in the foreground, and small point-like starts are visible beyond the clouds.

Image-2:- NGC 346

This star cluster known as NGC-346. It's around 200,000 light years away form us. And it is located in a Small Magellanic cloud.

The purple cloud shows the remains of a super nova explosion from a massive star. The "barred" spiral galaxy NGC 1672 is shown and unlike other spiral galaxies, this one has the arms barred straight with stars across the center. You can also spot The EAGLE NEBULA in the mix with its pillars of gas and dust among the stars. Lastly, we have the spiral galaxy messier 74 which can be visible to the human eye from Earth. Also known as the Phantom Galaxy for being relatively dim, filled with gas and dust all around. 

Image-3:- SN 1006

This image shows Supernova remnant SN 1006. It combines data from our imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer(IXPE) and NASA's Chandra X-ray. 

The red, green and blue elements reflect low, medium and high energy X-rays. The IXPE data, which measure the polarization of the X-ray light, is show in purple in the upper left corner, with the addition of lines representing the outward movement of the remnant's magnetic field.

Researchers say the results show a connection between the magnetic field and the remnants high-energy particle outflow. Mapping these magnetic field structures of supernovae remnants at higher energies with enhanced detail and accuracy enables us to better understand the processes driving the acceleration of these particles.

SN 1006 is about 6,500 light-years from Earth in the Lupus constellation. It is the remains of a massive explosion which occurred with when two white dwarfs merged or when a white dwarf pulled too much mass from a companion start-creating what is thought to be the brightest stellar event recorded in history.

Image-4:-Dancing Galaxy

⁣This dance between two galaxies captured by NASA's Hubble. Interacting gravitationally toward one another, these galaxies lie about 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Tucana.

The interacting galaxy pair is known as ARPMADORE, which is a collection of peculiar galaxies. What is peculiar about this group? There are actually three galaxies, not just two. If you look at the smaller galaxy's upper arm on the lower right corner of the image, you can spot the knot-like structure. As seen from Earth's perspective, astronomers have of the image, you can spot the knot-like structure. As seen from Earth's perspective, astronomers have found it challenging to differentiate whether an object in space is one, or multiple objects, or lying in front of another. Astronomers discovered the third knot-like galaxy by analyzing the speed and direction which revealed that the redshift, the wavelength of light is seen "shifted" towards the red part of the spectrum making it its own entity.
