#UMPlus - NGC 6072 https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/ngc-6072.html These two images, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, show the planetary nebula NGC 6072. The top image, taken with the near-infrared NIRCam camera, reveals a complex scene of multiple jets expanding at different angles from a dying star located at the center of the nebula. These jets push the gas toward the equatorial plane, producing a disk. The bottom image, taken by the mid-infrared MIRI instrument, highlights the..... #astronomy #space #astrophysics #astrophotography

#UMPlus - Gum 39 https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/gum-39.html Although impressive on its own, this image shows the popularly known as the Running Chicken Nebula, cataloged as Gum 39. In the image, we can see the crest of the chicken's head—at least according to some,...See more

#UMPlus - Nebulae and Stars in Cygnus https://www.universomagico.net/2025/07/nebulosas-y-estrellas-en-cygnus.html This image by astronomer Bernhard Hubl shows a brilliant landscape in the constellation of Cygnus. The bright red clouds contrast with the dark clouds and the brilliance of the stars like a valley covered in diamonds. The red cloud in the center of the image is LBN 181, heated enough by radiation from nearby energetic stars to be weakly ionized. To its left is..... #astronomy #space #astrophysics #astrophotography
