About 12 million light-years from Earth, at the center of Centaurus A, is an enormous black hole that is sending a booming jet across the entire length of the galaxy. This sonification combines X-rays from NASA's Chandra & IXPE with optical data from the ESO's MPG telescope. 1/2

Supernova in the galaxy NGC 2525 A supernova explosion was recorded in the spiral galaxy NGC 2525 in early 2018. More precisely, the explosion occurred about 70 million years ago, when dinosaurs were still roaming the Earth, but its light only reached us in 2018. At its peak, this supernova was 5 billion times brighter than the Sun! However, as usually happens, after a few months its light began to fade, and now it is no longer visible. Immediately after the explosion was detected, the Hubble telescope began regularly photographing the galaxy NGC 2525. The presented timelapse covers a whole year of observations, demonstrating how the supernova gradually faded in brightness.

A supernova explosion in the galaxy NGC 2442 This distant explosion occurred approximately 60 million years ago, around the time the dinosaurs on Earth were going extinct. The dying star's luminosity was billions of times greater than that of our Sun and comparable to the entire center of the galaxy NGC 2442. Such supernovae are among the brightest and most powerful events in the Universe, leaving behind remnants and influencing the evolution of surrounding matter. This cosmic explosion is a reminder of the scale and dynamics of our universe, and how events millions of light-years away can coincide with important stages in the history of life on Earth.

This picturesque pair of galaxies, Arp 4, lies in the constellation Cetus (the Whale) 🐋 They appear to be close companions, but they are actually in a long-distance relationship… a VERY long-distance relationship. The large blue galaxy MCG-02-05-050 is 65 million light-years from Earth. Its brighter smaller companion MCG-02-05-050a, is 675 million light-years away: over ten times the distance! 1/2

1/ I turned years of Transient Labs release data into art. Each release becomes a planet. Each collector orbits as a moon. This is TLx Galaxy.

The largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars, thousands of star clusters in a section of the galaxy’s disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.
