Planetary Nebula NGC 2440
Planetary nebula NGC 2440 is a relic of a star once like our Sun that has cast off its outer layers of gas, forming a colorful cocoon around the star's remaining core.
I got a gay one, nice
What Did NASA See on Your Birthday?
use this link — or google “Hubble birthday” — and enter your birth month and day to see what the Hubble Telescope saw on the day you were born! Then tag six (or more) people afterwards! Let’s see the what the galaxy looks like together :)
*feel free to click on “see full image” and just post the picture if you don’t want to share the date
For instance, this is mine:
tagging @greekgurlluv @peggy-sue-reads-a-book @scentedcandleibex @the-witching-atlas @inc0rrectmyths @hydexstudixs @dontwannadothisanymore @0lympian-c0uncil @genderfluidagendergremlin @candlecat624 @bluebellstudio @mythology-loving-lesbian @thatweirdkipgroup @marcelinethepastelqueen if you want to do this! (No pressure to, of course)
As always, you don’t need a tag to reblog this off me <3

photos from hubble space telescope
Make sure you pick the best filter 📸
This photo of a barred spiral galaxy 48 million light-years from Earth, taken by @NASAHubble, is a cosmic wonder. In its original form, though, it wouldn't look nearly as dazzling—raw images from Hubble and other space telescopes come in shades of gray, only showing the amount of light captured across all wavelengths the telescope's camera can measure.
In order to turn those images into colorful sights like this one, we take photos with special filters that block out almost all wavelengths of light. One of the filters used on this image sees only light that would appear green to human eyes: light at wavelengths around 555 nanometers. The final multicolor image you see here uses data from seven different filters, collected with Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys.

happy 127 bday Mr. Hubble 💕🔭
On the occasion of astronomer Edwin Hubble’s birthday, let’s take a look at his stock in trade – galaxies. It was through his observations of these celestial wonders that Hubble changed our perception of the universe. This excerpt from NASA’s bio will give you the gist (and please note that all these galactic images are, of course, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope):
“Most astronomers of Hubble’s day thought that all of the universe — the planets, the stars seen with the naked eye and with powerful telescopes, and fuzzy objects called nebulae — was contained within the Milky Way galaxy. Our galaxy, it was thought, was synonymous with the universe.
In 1923 Hubble trained the Hooker telescope on a hazy patch of sky called the Andromeda Nebula. He found that it contained stars just like the ones in our galaxy, only dimmer. One star he saw was a Cepheid variable, a type of star with a known, varying brightness that can be used to measure distances. From this Hubble deduced that the Andromeda Nebula was not a nearby star cluster but rather an entire other galaxy, now called the Andromeda galaxy.
In the following years he made similar discoveries with other nebulae. By the end of the 1920s, most astronomers were convinced that our Milky Way galaxy was but one of millions in the universe. This was a shift in thought as profound as understanding the world was round and that it revolved around the sun.
Hubble then went one step further. By the end of that decade he had discovered enough galaxies to compare to each other. He created a system for classifying galaxies into ellipticals, spirals and barred spirals — a system called the Hubble tuning fork diagram, used today in an evolved form.
But the most astonishing discovery Hubble made resulted from his study of the spectra of 46 galaxies, and in particular of the Doppler velocities of those galaxies relative to our own Milky Way galaxy. What Hubble found was that the farther apart galaxies are from each other, the faster they move away from each other. Based on this observation, Hubble concluded that the universe expands uniformly. Several scientists had also posed this theory based on Einstein’s General Relativity, but Hubble’s data, published in 1929, helped convince the scientific community.”

Aroace Flags Colorpicked from Space Photos
Since my last nebula colorpicked flags post blew up, I figured I do another one but with only the sunset aroace flag (it’s like my favorite flag to colorpick).
