Our image of the day Space 16/02/2021 Space.com Staff © Provided by Space Valentine Island in northern Western Australia is a swirling mix of blues and reddish browns, as seen from space by the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission. The mission, which is made up of two satellites, imaged the tiny island for Valentine's Day. Valentine Island is just about 1 mile (1.60 kilometers) long and 0.15 miles (250 meters) wide and can be found in the King Sound, a large gulf that has one of the highest tides in all of Australia. Space can be a wondrous place, and we've ...

Our image of the day Space 2/5/2021 Space.com Staff © Provided by Space The European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission snapped this chilly photo of New York City on Feb. 4, 2021 showing the city blanketed in snow. This recent snow storm was classified as "major" and affected a majority of the Northeast United States, with New York declaring a state of emergency for both the immense snowfall and blistering winds. Copernicus Sentinel-2 is an Earth-observing mission made up of two satellites: Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. The pair monitor and i...

NGC 613, a barred spiral galaxy 67 million light-years away in the southern constellation of Sculptor, shows its stunning stellar markings in this image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

That's incredible. We're 26,000 light years from the galaxy's center, but these structures are so huge they cover a significant fraction of our sky. However, they emit no visible light we know of, so we can't see them by eye. Zoom In They appear to be bubbles, thin-walled structures filled with hot gas. However, hot gas on its own can't make gamma rays. Most likely there are powerful shock waves as the gas plows into the thin material floating around just outside our galaxy, as well as strong magnetic fields locked in with the gas; together these can accelerate subatomic particles to incredib...
