Vinz FrankLast Friday i tried to capture the Whirlpool Galaxy M51📸<br> <br> 🌌The Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) is a spiral galaxy located about 23 million light-years away in Canes Venatici. It spans approximately 60,000 light-years and features prominent spiral arms with active star formation. M51 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 5195, creating stunning tidal features that enhance its visual appeal.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Astrophotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Astrophotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/GalaxyPhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GalaxyPhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/WhirlpoolGalaxy?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WhirlpoolGalaxy</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/NightSky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NightSky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Stargazing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stargazing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SpacePhotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpacePhotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CosmicWonder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CosmicWonder</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AstronomyLovers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AstronomyLovers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/CelestialBeauty?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CelestialBeauty</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DeepSpace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DeepSpace</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Deepsky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deepsky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/AstroPic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AstroPic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SkyWatchers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SkyWatchers</a>

Natalie Davis 🇺🇸🇵🇹🇺🇦<p>Breathtaking.</p><p>"James Webb telescope captures clearest-ever image of Whirlpool galaxy</p><p>(...) This mesmerising picture...is a composite image from the telescope’s NIRCam and MIRI instruments. Both devices are built to capture the distant universe by decoding infrared light signals emanating from faraway stars and galaxies. The end result is the Whirlpool galaxy in never-seen-before detail. </p><p>The dark red regions trace the filamentary warm dust permeating the medium of the galaxy. The red regions show the reprocessed light from complex molecules forming on dust grains, while colours of orange and yellow reveal the regions of ionised gas by the recently formed star clusters.</p><p>🔗: <a href="https://thenextweb.com/news/james-webb-telescope-whirlpool-galaxy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thenextweb.com/news/james-webb</span><span class="invisible">-telescope-whirlpool-galaxy</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/galaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>galaxy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WhirlpoolGalaxy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhirlpoolGalaxy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/M51" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>M51</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/JWST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JWST</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/space" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>space</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a></p>

I counted photons nearly 4 hours - on my -30°C cold camera mounted on my 10 Inch Schmidt-Newton. Focal length 2m</p><p>This Galaxy is very special to me. In 2005 i met my wife on the Observatory while imaging this Galaxy and the Supernova within. Now 19 years later - my wife is still there and the star which was so bright is not visible anymore.<br>Our love is still brighter than ever and brighter than any star can explode ❤️ ❤️</p>
