#UMPlus - NGC 2146 by Jim Thommes
https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/ngc-2146-por-jim-thommes.html
This image by astronomer Jim Thommes shows the galaxy NGC 2146, which has been severely deformed so that an immense dusty arm of glowing material now lies directly in front of the galaxy's center. NGC 2146 is classified as a barred spiral galaxy, but its most distinctive feature is the dusty spiral arm that.....

#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.....

It's a go for manufacturing CUBES, a future instrument for our VLT.
The VLT's ultraviolet eye, CUBES will search for water in the asteroid belt & explore the UV cosmic background, among other scientific goals.

#UMPlus - Messier 29 by Emil Ivanov
https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/messier-29-por-emil-ivanov.html
This image by astronomer and tenor Emil Ivanov shows Messier 29, also cataloged as NGC 6913, an open star cluster located in the direction of the Cygnus constellation. Less impressive than the others, it is located in a star-filled region of the Milky Way, near the bright star Gamma Cygni, known as.....

#UMPlus - Hickson 79
https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/hickson-79.html
This image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a compact group of galaxies called Hickson 79 or HCG 79, although the corners of the image appear black because there was no Hubble data to complete the image. It appears to be a group of six galaxies, however, MCG+04-38-009, which is seen face-on showing the.....

A team of astronomers have used ALMA to observe the supergiant star DFK 52, and found a cloud of ejected material 1.4 light-years across!
DFK 52 is around 10-15 times more massive than the Sun. About 4000 years ago it went through an episode of extreme mass shedding, and then slowed down to its current rate. It has already lost 5-10% of its mass, for reasons still unkown

#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, because everyone seems to see a different chicken. The data for this gigantic image were captured by the.....

#UMPlus - A Gamma-Ray Pulsar
https://www.universomagico.net/2025/08/un-pulsar-emisor-de-rayos-gamma.html
This fascinating field of view harbors an incredible mystery, invisible to the human eye. It was captured using the OGM spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope in Hawaii. Within this nebulous region, gamma-ray emission is present. PSR J2030+4415 is an extremely dense object left behind by the death of a.....
