NGC 2685 is a polar ring galaxy. It has a ring of gas, stars, and dust that orbits perpendicular to the plane of the galaxy. This structure likely formed through an interaction which captured material from another galaxy.

This type of work is really fascinating as things (like satellites) are all moving at high velocities up there (28,000 km/h) - so other things (like other satellites or space stations) zip past quickly. You would then need to 'de-zip' the object to make a crisp clear image.
Well, they've done it again.
This time, imaging the Chinese Space Station (second image) from a distance of 83 kilometres (resolution of 0.17 m/px) 🤯
This is really cool stuff. I promise.

What you see here isn't a spiral galaxy, exactly. It's a spiral galaxy whose image was bent into a circle by the gravity of an elliptical galaxy visible at the center.
Warped space, right before your eyes!

Early studies of young stars found an abundance of huge planetary systems forming. New observations reveal the opposite: Lots of small systems, much more compact than our solar system.

This new JWST image shows a jet shooting out from a newborn star; the colors indicate infrared emission from hydrogen, carbon monoxide & dust.
JWST is so sensitive that it also captured many distant background galaxies, including one at the tip of the tornado & others shining right through it.

The ALMA observatory found a whole nest of mysterious, turbulent filaments swirling around in the chaos near the center of our galaxy -- possibly connected to the star clusters & the supermassive black hole lurking nearby.

The upper component of this interacting galaxy group has two nuclei that appear to be connected and in the early stages of merging along with trails of blue super star clusters. The lower component of the group is a single large spiral galaxy with its own star clusters.
