Witch Head Nebula: IC 2118 in Eridanus | Wide-field View | ESO

The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) is an extremely faint reflection nebula located in the Eridanus (The River) Constellation. Astronomers are still learning about this molecular cloud, but research indicates that the wind-swept appearance may have formed from stellar wind of nearby, highly luminous stars.

"Double, double toil and trouble . . ." Alas, had MacBeth seen this nebula in the sky his portentous future would have been as obvious to him as it was to the witches that begin Shakespeare's play. Not unlike the foul vapors that curl from the witches cauldron, IC 2118 wafts through space at a nearby 1,000 light years away. The star Rigel, Orion's luminous limb, lights up this nebula blue both by its own color and scattered light in the dust of this nebula. Hints of red also permeate the field showing that some of the gas is excited by the starlight. The glow of light towards the bottom of the field is an artifact caused by the scattered light of Cursa, a seemingly appropriate name for a star near the "WitchHead" nebula.(Actually, from the Arabic Cursa is related to a footstool of Orion.)

The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) & Blue Supergiant Star Rigel

The Witch Head Nebula (IC 2118) & Blue Supergiant Star Rigel

By starlight, this eerie visage shines in the dark with a crooked profile evoking its popular name, the Witch Head Nebula. In fact, this entrancing telescopic portrait gives the impression that a witch has fixed her gaze on Orion's bright supergiant star Rigel.

More formally known as IC 2118, the Witch Head Nebula spans about 50 light-years and is composed of interstellar dust grains reflecting Rigel's starlight. The color of the Witch Head Nebula is caused not only by Rigel's intense blue light, but because the dust grains scatter blue light more efficiently than red. The same physical process causes Earth's daytime sky to appear blue, although the scatterers in Earth's atmosphere are molecules of nitrogen and oxygen. 

Rigel and this dusty cosmic crone are about 800 light-years away. You may still see a few witches in your neighborhood tonight though, so have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Highlights of The Dark Wolf Nebula: SL 17 in Scorpius | ESO VLT Survey Telescope

Highlights of The Dark Wolf Nebula: SL 17 in Scorpius | ESO VLT Survey Telescope

This image shows a dark nebula at the center of the picture, against a background of reddish fumes. The shape of the dark nebulous cloud can appear to resemble a wolf’s head, looking to the right. Surrounding the dark nebula are bright white stars of a variety of sizes appearing as tiny dots and bigger gassy spheres.

This collage highlights details within the huge Dark Wolf Nebula, such as the wolf’s “head”, seen here in the top-center image. The pillars in the images to the right form when intense radiation from young stars encounters dense pockets of dust and gas. This radiation erodes and blows away the lighter material around these dense pockets, creating these pillar-like structures.

Fittingly nicknamed the Dark Wolf Nebula, this cosmic cloud was captured in a 283-million-pixel image by the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) at the European Southern Observatory’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. Located around 5,300 light-years from Earth, the cold clouds of cosmic dust create the illusion of a wolf-like silhouette against a colorful backdrop of glowing gas clouds.

Tour The Galactic 'Eyes' of IC 2163 & NGC 2207 | NASA Webb & Hubble

Tour The Galactic 'Eyes' of IC 2163 & NGC 2207 | NASA Webb & Hubble

This video tours a pair of spiral galaxies, IC 2163 at left and NGC 2207 at right, that reside 114 million light-years from Earth. The journey begins and ends on a new image that combines mid-infrared, visible, and ultraviolet light from the James Webb and Hubble space telescopes, and includes brief fades to Webb’s mid-infrared image and Hubble’s visible and ultraviolet light image.

Watch as these spellbinding observations are pulled apart, and then presented again as a combined observation. 

The tour features star formation in chilling detail, blood-red shock fronts, and traces of ancient supernova explosions that “echo” through the cosmic landscape.

Both galaxies have increased star formation rates. Combined, they are estimated to form the equivalent of two dozen new stars that are the size of the Sun annually. Our Milky Way galaxy forms the equivalent of two or three new Sun-like stars per year.

Both galaxies have hosted seven known supernovae, each of which may have cleared space in their arms, rearranging gas and dust that later cooled, and allowed new many stars to form.

The gruesome palette of these galaxies is owed to a mix of mid-infrared light from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, and visible and ultraviolet light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The pair grazed one another millions of years ago. The smaller spiral on the left, cataloged as IC 2163, passed behind NGC 2207, the larger spiral galaxy at right.

The Cosmic Bat Nebula: LDN 43 in Ophiuchus

The Cosmic Bat Nebula: LDN 43 in Ophiuchus

Image Description: A starfield is shown with a large brown dust nebula in the center. The nebula can appear to be shaped like a bat. One of the stars in the dust nebula can resemble a bat's eye.

What is the most spook-tacular nebula in the galaxy? One contender is LDN 43. Glowing with eerie light, this nebula is lit up from inside by dense gaseous knots that have just formed young stars. It bears an astonishing resemblance to a vast cosmic bat flying amongst the stars on a dark Halloween night. Located about 1,400 light years away in the constellation Ophiuchus, the LDN 43 molecular cloud is dense enough to block light not only from background stars, but from wisps of gas lit up by the nearby reflection nebula LBN 7. Far from being a harbinger of death, this 12-light year-long filament of gas and dust is actually a stellar nursery.

Shenzhou-19 Long March-2F Y19 Rocket Launch | Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center

Shenzhou-19 Long March-2F Y19 Rocket Launch | Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center

Shenzhou-19 Mission Emblem

China successfully launched the Shenzhou-19 crewed spacecraft on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024, sending three astronauts—including the country's first female space engineer—to its orbiting space station for a six-month mission. Mission specialist, Wang Haoze, is the third Chinese woman to take part in a crewed space flight, after Liu Yang who was in the Shenzhou-9 and 14 crews, and Wang Yaping, of Shenzhou-10 and 13.

The spacecraft, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, blasted off at 4:27 a.m. (Beijing Time) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China, said the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).

About 10 minutes after the launch, the Shenzhou-19 spacecraft separated from the rocket and entered its designated orbit. The crew members, consisting of mission commander Cai Xuzhe and crew members Song Lingdong and Wang Haoze, are in good shape and the launch was a complete success, the CMSA announced.

The crew reached their destination after their spacecraft made a fast automated rendezvous and docking with the China space station's core module Tianhe at 11:00 Wednesday (Beijing Time).

Shenzhou-19 is the 33rd flight mission of China's crewed space program, and the fourth manned mission during the application and development stage of China's space station.

Wide-field View of The Bubble Nebula: NGC 7635 in Cassiopeia | WIYN Telescope

Wide-field View of The Bubble Nebula: NGC 7635 in Cassiopeia | WIYN Telescope

This wide field view of NGC 7635 shows the nebulosity carved out by the winds of the massive central star and demonstrates the exquisite image quality of the new One Degree Imager camera on the WIYN 3.5-m telescope.

What created this huge space bubble? Blown by the wind from a star, this tantalizing, head-like apparition is cataloged as NGC 7635, but known simply as the Bubble Nebula. The featured striking view utilizes a long exposure to reveal the intricate details of this cosmic bubble and its environment. Although it looks delicate, the 10 light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Seen here above and right of the Bubble's center, a bright hot star is embedded in the nebula's reflecting dust. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from the star (that likely has a mass 10 to 20 times that of the Sun) has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The Bubble Nebula lies a mere 11,000 light-years away toward the constellation Cassiopeia.

The Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOIRLab (WIYN) Observatory is situated atop Kitt Peak National Observatory, a partnership consisting of University of California Irvine, Purdue University, the National Science Foundation’s NOIRLab, and NASA.
